Inara Posted February 28, 2014 Share Posted February 28, 2014 (edited) [video=youtube;Qx-EMTVn0nc] A couple of weeks ago, I began whispering to Inara, and she loves whispering back. She picked it up immediately and we have a lot of fun whispering back and forth. She's usually very camera shy, but is beginning to warm up if it's quite a way from her. Her latest fascination is with the squirrel who comes to visit in the morning on the back deck. She will give a hiss at him. From time to time, we'll be standing together near the window, and she will turn her fact to mine and give a hiss, as if to remind me to be careful about the squirrel. What turned out very interesting in this snippet of conversation, is that she connected squirrel with tree. She has never even used the word tree before. I was stunned at "What shall we do, I'll be good." She apparently has put that together all by herself and has never said that before. We chat back and forth all day long, whether just being silly and nonsensical, or whether having serious conversations. The whispering cracks me up. Does anyone else whisper with your birds?

Timbersmom Posted February 28, 2014 Share Posted February 28, 2014 What a cool video! I whisper to Timber sometimes but he doesn't whisper back. He usually whistles when I whisper. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Luvparrots Posted February 28, 2014 Share Posted February 28, 2014 Cute video. I do not whisper to my parrots so No whispering here. Sterling Gris, CAG, does make his own combination of words though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
katana600 Posted February 28, 2014 Share Posted February 28, 2014 Wasn't that fun? Inara is adorable with her take on life. She really notices everything, doesn't she? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quirky Posted March 1, 2014 Share Posted March 1, 2014 That was way too cool, I haven't thought to whisper to Jake might have to try that out some time. Thanks for sharing! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve 2 Posted March 1, 2014 Share Posted March 1, 2014 Great post Inara's human. My wife does a "Hey, Hey, Hey!" loudly, then softly "bird". Toulouse repeats this with change in volumes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BaileysPapa Posted March 1, 2014 Share Posted March 1, 2014 I whisper to Bailey, "Pss Pss Pss", and he does it back. Also, "Ssshhh". Like it's our little secret. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kins2321@yahoo.com Posted March 1, 2014 Share Posted March 1, 2014 I wish, Sophie would whisper! She does so, for about five minutes! If I am quiet, she is also. After that....... Nancy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

danmcq Posted March 2, 2014 Share Posted March 2, 2014 (edited) What an entertaining video of Inara. I must say, Dayo enjoyed watching and listening to this as well. I have whispered with him advising that "Shhhh, Mommy is still sleeping so we must be quiet" for the last year or so. While watching this video when it became normal volume at times he would say "Shhhhh, be quiet" in response to it. Thanks for sharing this.

Michellec Posted March 7, 2014 Share Posted March 7, 2014 Loved the video!! I hope my baby eventually talks well! What kind of cage do you have? We are looking for a new one and from what I could see, it looked large and stainless. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greywings Posted March 7, 2014 Share Posted March 7, 2014 That was fun, we whisper here as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Inara Posted March 7, 2014 Author Share Posted March 7, 2014 It's so fun to know that others whisper too! Michellec, we got Inara's cage from http://www.getbirdstuff.com, and it is this model. It is stainless steel, and I love how easy it is to clean. It also disassembles and folds up in just a few minutes, in case of a dire emergency (we live in a mountain forest, and evacuation due to fire is always a possibility). Inara is a TAG and she has tons of room in this cage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
