Candi Posted January 11, 2014 Share Posted January 11, 2014 I woke up this morning to the my Echo talking up a storm! I was so excited I had to share! Since we brought him home he has barely made a peep, just a whistle or a click here and there. He is getting his confidence back! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luvparrots Posted January 11, 2014 Share Posted January 11, 2014 Way to go Echo. It is always wonderful to hear when a grey becomes sure and feels safe in his new home. My Sterling Gris is a morning talker. A really big talker!!!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Candi Posted January 11, 2014 Author Share Posted January 11, 2014 He is doing so well today, he just finished taking a bath for the first time! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Inara Posted January 12, 2014 Share Posted January 12, 2014 Candi, your Echo sounds like such a delightful soul, and one who is no doubt feeling a sense of security, safety, and relief at having landed in such a caring home. I can't wait to hear what Echo has to say about it all as he continues to flourish under your care. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Candi Posted January 12, 2014 Author Share Posted January 12, 2014 Thank you so much for your kind words! I am just thrilled with all of the progress he has made today! He has gone from a shy timid bird to a total clown, lol! His vocabulary is much broader then we previously thought...its absolutely amazing! While I love dogs and cats, I can honestly say I have never felt such a bond and deep love for an animal before him, he is just like one of my kids already. I see now why bird owners are hardcore bird lovers...how can you not be! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Parrot Lady Posted January 12, 2014 Share Posted January 12, 2014 Candi are you going to use a sock buddy on him , I have a plucking grey named Smokey and the sock buddy helps a lot heres the link if you want to check it out http://www.thesockbuddy.com/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Candi Posted January 12, 2014 Author Share Posted January 12, 2014 His previous family tried the sock buddy with him and said that he didn't like it... I think I will probably try it again with him after he is a little more comfortable with me handling him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brat Birds Posted January 12, 2014 Share Posted January 12, 2014 Candi, you and Echo are doing so well!! I see only the greatest life in front of the two of you. Oh there will be set backs, but they will be short lived, I am sure. It is so wonderful to hear all about him as he becomes the part of the family he is meant to be.!!

kins2321@yahoo.com Posted January 12, 2014 Share Posted January 12, 2014 Candi.... So happy Echo and you guys are doing so well! Yes.... many of us, do go crazy and get excited with first words, better behavior, just like our kids. Call us crazy!!!! LOL! BUT.... now my kids are off to college, no empty nest syndrome here. I've got one more baby, and that is Sophie. When kids leave for college, we tell her they have to go to school to get smart. Sophie always tells us " Sophie is smart!" Why yes she is!

You will gradually see more and more of his true personality emerge as he feels comfortable in his new home but be prepared for a step or two back as he progresses but in my opinion you are doing great with him so far, you two were meant to be together.

katana600 Posted January 14, 2014 Share Posted January 14, 2014 Its nice to share your journey with Echo. Some rehomes take longer than others and it sounds like Echo is off to a really good start with you. I agree that there is nothing like living with a parrot. Its far different than any relationship I have ever enjoyed. Not at all like a pet, not at all like a child, it is a unique and profoundly interesting path of companionship and joy. You are just beginning. Thanks for joining us and sharing your experience. Its so much better with people who understand the amazing bond we have with our feathered flocks.
