Inara Posted September 12, 2014 Share Posted September 12, 2014 Hahaha! What a cutie, and he does a great chicken impersonation! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bigwick70 Posted September 12, 2014 Author Share Posted September 12, 2014 (edited) Yes he is. Sometimes he also does a turkey clucking plus a number of other electronic devices that i'm not familiar with lol... He cracks me up sometimes... I thought it was hilarious where I told him he wasn't a chicken and he was like "Huh", as if to say "i'm not"? like he was shocked to find this out... Thank you... Hahaha!

Bigwick70 Posted September 12, 2014 Author Share Posted September 12, 2014 Have any of you guys/Gals ever had the problem of your bird learning the word "What" in a family members voice? It's quite confusing if your in another room trying to explain something to someone else and you think they keep saying "What"... LMBO Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bigwick70 Posted September 12, 2014 Author Share Posted September 12, 2014 If anyone knows of an unwanted or abandoned African Gray that is for sale PLEASE contact me 304 664 9752... My Aunt Sharon recently saw a 2 month old Grey that her mother-n-law bought in Ocala FL, and she was interested in getting one. She is like me in her love for critters and would take great care for him/her and I told her it would be best to try to rescue an animal first. I had no idea that there were so many birds being neglected and abandoned till recently when I saw a video on this Please let us know if you do. I will put you in touch with her Thank you...

Acappella Posted September 13, 2014 Share Posted September 13, 2014 Sadly, it shouldn't be too hard to find an unwanted bird, keep checking Craig's list and. Kijiji, maybe let it be known at local vets and animal shelters that you're looking. They often know if someone is in a situation where their birds are being surrendered. Thank you for looking for a rescue first. Although I'm sometimes sad I wasn't part of Dorians first three years, and that I missed all the cute cuddly baby stuff, I wouldn't change our journey together for anything.

kins2321@yahoo.com Posted September 13, 2014 Share Posted September 13, 2014 Bigwick70... LOVED the video of chicken quacking! As far as them answering in " what"? That is one of Sophie's favorite words answering in human form. She immitates kids to perfection to the point, when I yelled " dinner", kids said individually " coming"! They never came. I got so mad!This was a pattern, and I really got annoyed. I confronted them both one day. I had a sit down... explained I work a ton of hours, and work hard to have dinner on the table. I am disappointed that you guys can't respect me to NOT show up on time for dinner when I call you! They both had no idea what I was talking about! I realized immediately that Sophie was the one responding to coming for dinner. ( I have less than 20% hearing in my right ear now, so I can't tell where sound comes from).DAMN my smart girl! ( Sophie always showed up for dinner on time!) Sophie eats with us. Nancy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
katana600 Posted September 13, 2014 Share Posted September 13, 2014 I thought I heard him saying his name as well as an owl impersonation. He seems very happy and involved in your life. You have made amazing progress together. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bigwick70 Posted September 13, 2014 Author Share Posted September 13, 2014 Yes, he does that often. He knows his name well. He also calls my wifes name sometimes in my voice lol. He has quit talking now for the most part. Think hes just lazy lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Timbersmom Posted September 15, 2014 Share Posted September 15, 2014 Wilbur does an excellent chicken! Timber's talking seems to go in spurts as well. He will go though periods when he is very verbal, then through times when he doesn't use words at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bigwick70 Posted September 16, 2014 Author Share Posted September 16, 2014 Thanks :cool:... He try's his best to do the Theme to The Andy Griffith Show, but he get it mixed up lol. Sometimes he's pretty good at it though and gets close. As you can see he loves his bells too and you're sure to get the Beak if you touch them...[video=youtube;pYqx-xx_EWo] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kins2321@yahoo.com Posted September 16, 2014 Share Posted September 16, 2014 awww stick with it! Sophie's favorite song " take me out to the ball game", she messes up all the time! She will tell herself " No, No, No"... start over. Eventually, she thinks she has done a GREAT job, ( she really sucked), then she will add " play ball!" That is her sign, " I did GREAT!" Of course I praise her and clap and tell her how proud I am. I think its so funny, how they figure they did a great job, which really sounded like the last attempt!

Bigwick70 Posted September 17, 2014 Author Share Posted September 17, 2014 OMG, I got to tell this one. I'm sure you all know by now how much Wilbur loves our son Jeremiah. I just heard Jeremiah yelling to Wilbur saying "Get off dude! Quit that!" So being the good father I am I went to find Wilbur taking a bath slinging water all over my son who was sleeping on the couch, ROFLMAO. Wilbur is sitting there making his "What, or more like Waa" noise that he does and looking like "What did I do"... I think he does these things to amuse himself I swear. TOO FUNNY";) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kins2321@yahoo.com Posted September 20, 2014 Share Posted September 20, 2014 Too funny! I LOVE when kids have a good relationship with the grey! Sean and Ryan always complain how she is a pain in the butt...but they are VERY over protective of her. Nancy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
