pjbmom Posted March 16, 2013 Share Posted March 16, 2013 Wow has Chico really come along since Nov. You would think we had him along.He should be 2 now at thanksgiving he was 18 mos old. I still need to call the vet to get paper work from the previous owners vet.... anyways I have thought him to count to 5 and sing twinkle twinkle little star. So far he has the counting correct of course he doesn't count to 5 all them time but always tries. He is so funny. I will video he someday and post it. Right now he is singing... twinkle twinkle , 1,2,3,4,5 twinkle. I am hoping he will sing the whole song or more of the song soon. I just love it. OMG he memics everything I say. Thank god I don't swear lol. Now Fig (amazon) is counting more and singing (he has conquered this years ago and sings). Seems they like to talk together at the same time. So the sadness I felt from not having my 2 daughters at home anymore is filled with entertaining with my parrots,dogs and cats. Thank god they can't move out! lol.

Timbersmom Posted March 16, 2013 Share Posted March 16, 2013 I'm with you there! I got my TAG when my last child went to college. He really does fill a gap for me! Mutual benefit situation Chico is really coming along! Fascinating to observe their progress Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luvparrots Posted March 16, 2013 Share Posted March 16, 2013 Parrots do certainly fill in for children who have outgrown the nest. I have three children, and now three parrots. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Timbersmom Posted March 16, 2013 Share Posted March 16, 2013 Oh no! Following that logic I'm due for two more parrots! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
judygram Posted March 16, 2013 Share Posted March 16, 2013 Well following that logic I have one parrot too many. You certainly have one smart grey there in Chico. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ray P Posted March 16, 2013 Share Posted March 16, 2013 Let`s see, over the years we have had 9 foster children and my son is adopted so that is 10. At one point we had 15 cockatiels at one time. No more kids, I will deal with the birds. One grey, one amazon and two tiels that`s enough. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luvparrots Posted March 16, 2013 Share Posted March 16, 2013 I also raised my late husband's grandson so I am due one more parrot. If one comes along and needs a home, I'm here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kins2321@yahoo.com Posted March 20, 2013 Share Posted March 20, 2013 Wow! LOL! I have two kids off in college, but they talk to the birds several times a week. NOT feeling the " empty nest syndrome". My youngest comes home monthly or sometimes biweekly. I'm sticking to the same number of birds I have. LOL! Nancy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Timbersmom Posted March 20, 2013 Share Posted March 20, 2013 Soooo tempting to get an Amazon. I've promised myself that I'm not going to go looking, so it will have to be one that falls in my lap (or lands on my shoulder Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
