Baby squeaks

[Amali]

Amali is right at 8 months old now, and in the last month or so, she has reverted to her little baby squeaks (though she still whistles and makes some of her other sounds as well). Is this normal? Her little squeaks are almost always in the evening, are very often heard being made while she plays with her water bottle, and then sometimes heard when she has a favorite food - like warm bird bread.

 

Thoughts?

My guess is that she's happy when she makes that noise...but it's just a guess. Hopefully someone will have more thoughts. :-)

Ellie does that as well. (She's almost 10 months old.)

 

She also begs me to feed her like a mama bird would. She crouches down, lifts her head up, opens her beak and bobs her head forward and back. I tell her I'm her friend, not her mother, but she doesn't believe me... She usually does both the noises and the begging first thing in the morning when I take her out of her cage. Or if I've been away from the house most of the day...

Amali does the head bob too - morning, night, anytime - she will try to "eat" my fingers like that!

[Doug]

Exactly! (I was worried that I didn't describe it sufficiently...)

 

I'm pretty sure she wouldn't be too happy if she managed to swallow my finger...
