Sidhe Posted April 29, 2015 Share Posted April 29, 2015 Today was a marvelous day for Lucy and the whole household. She said her first words ("WOW! Lucy-Goosey") and learned two new tricks: "turn around" and "shake hands". BEYOND AMAZED!! Furthermore, she has a MONSTER appetite; she eats everything we offer her and nothing is ever enough! Also she is bananas for bananas! I love her so much, she is the best African Grey we could have ever hoped for. I love her I love her I love her!!! She is just the best. I just needed to get this out! Haha. Thanks for reading and feel free to post your own appreciation notes! <3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

neoow Posted May 1, 2015 Share Posted May 1, 2015 That's awesome! You don't need to apologise for being excited and posted about it. I love reading posts like this! This kind of excitement will go on for years and years. Alfie never ceases to amaze me with the new things he picks up or does. And I've had him for 12 years!

We truly do feel like aunts and uncles... our feelings get hurt when we don't see pictures and new tales! ( we are a crazy bunch of parents!). LOL! This is just the beginning of your journey, and as Ray said, its just going to get more amazing! Nancy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sidhe Posted May 9, 2015 Author Share Posted May 9, 2015 Thanks all! How did you teach those tricks? That's awesome! She already knew step up so "shake" was easy, I just extended one finger and said "shake" while she tried to step up. As soon as she had one foot on my finger, I pulled away and rewarded her. She now knows the difference between step up and shake. She already blew kisses so I said "gimme kiss" and reward her. She eventually got it and started doing it on command. Same as "chirp". "Turn around" was a little more tricky because it was something that she didn't already do. I motioned with my hand above her head that she was supposed to spin all the way around. I showed her the treat so she followed my hand, hence the treat, and I said "turn around, good girl" and rewarded her. She now does that without me making the motion. She's so smart Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
