Wingy Posted May 12, 2013 Share Posted May 12, 2013 Every Saturday and Sunday morning Jake shares a chat with us. Yesterday morning I kept the curtains closed so he didn't notice the camera which is why the video is so dark. At the end of the video he is telling me something but I have no idea what. Its like the parrot version of charades Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
judygram Posted May 12, 2013 Share Posted May 12, 2013 Jake is quite the talker, you must have caught him at the right time, thanks for sharing that with us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
katana600 Posted May 12, 2013 Share Posted May 12, 2013 That was just precious, Jake has quite the stories to tell. I was enthralled and found myself leaning closer to hear him better. The timing of coming online to find this is quite appropriate since I had the notion I was going to take a rare nap and Gilbert was so chatty there was nothing doing but to come back out and see him. Of course, when I came into the room, now he is quiet again. Jake is so similar to Gilbert in his whistling and chatting. Gilbert doesn't do the coughing or sneezing but he can make a convincing baby crying sound. It was funny to hear Jake talking about a pork chop. He is very entertaining and dear.

There are very few TAG videos on youtube. Is Jakes voice similar to Gilberts? Jake is not a closet talker. He will chatter and we hold conversations with each other quite a bit. He just clams up in front of the camera. He will play but not usually talk. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
katana600 Posted May 13, 2013 Share Posted May 13, 2013 Jake's sound effects and whistling is similar to Gilbert but not the voice he uses. Jake has a range of voices, male, female and some more childlike. Gilbert like Jake does have several voices but they sound different than Jake's. Gilbert's male voice is usually slow and he drawls and had a Mississippi accent. Gilbert talks a lot, he just clams up for the camera. Also, Jake is ten times more active than Gilbert. Gilbert barely came off one or two perches in his cage for the first eighteen months. He has only gotten the nerve to move around for a few months and he is really just now getting to explore or play. It is still very tentative and it takes very little to put him into a tailspin where he will go in his cage and not move for the whole day. We have many more good days and the withdrawals get shorter and spaced farther apart as we progress with him. I just loved Jake's carefree way. They both do like the human body sounds, Jake with his coughing and sneezing and Gilbert with the honking nose blowing when he hears David in the shower.

Timbersmom Posted May 13, 2013 Share Posted May 13, 2013 Loved the video! Jake does remind me of Timber (also a TAG). He has a broad range of "voices" too, male, female, child. I really enjoyed watching that! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wingy Posted May 13, 2013 Author Share Posted May 13, 2013 What is really odd is that we have no young children. There was a nephew that visited twice and that is all. The kids are all over 20. The child voice is his voice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
danmcq Posted May 13, 2013 Share Posted May 13, 2013 I totally enjoyed this video. You may want to get that bad cough checked out. Thanks for sharing this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sanveaz Posted May 13, 2013 Share Posted May 13, 2013 Love your TAG and love the video. I have an 11 month old TAG and I can't wait till he starts chattering so much. He does a little now but usually only if he can't see me, the minute he sees me he stops. He has several voices he uses too. Something he does when he's a little annoyed is grunt. He had a little scare the other day and afterword he wanted to snuggle for about 10 minutes and he was panting and grunting the whole time. It was almost like he was fussing about what happened it was too cute. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wingy Posted May 14, 2013 Author Share Posted May 14, 2013 Thank you all for your kind words. My co-workers think I am lying when I tell them just how much Jake and I talk and argue. They have no idea how it is possible to have a conversation with a bird let alone argue with one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JeffNOK Posted May 14, 2013 Share Posted May 14, 2013 Sadly, my Gracie imitates a cough I had last winter. She knows it annoys me so she uses it when I'm doing something she doesn't like (like leave for work). Loved the video. Your TAG has a cute little voice. Gracie sounds like a 75-year-old chain smoker! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
