SullysMom Posted April 30, 2015 Share Posted April 30, 2015 So I woke up this morning and did my usual routine before going to open Sully's cage which is right down the hall from where I was. I was getting washed up when I heard Sully calling from down the hall "Want to go downstairs? Want to go stairs?" It was too funny since he had never said this before. As soon as I walked into the room he greeted me with a "Good morning," lifting his little foot ready to be picked up all the while chanting "Want to go downstairs?" He can always make me smile lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SRSeedBurners Posted April 30, 2015 Share Posted April 30, 2015 I absolutely love how they lift their little foot for us. Very adorable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kins2321@yahoo.com Posted April 30, 2015 Share Posted April 30, 2015 Well let's go! LOL! I LOVE how Sophie always has that foot up and ready! Lets go! Many times I have to getup at 430 am... she has that foot up and ready, but she is half asleep! I give her a big kiss... tell her I'm gonna shower, and get you up when I am done. ( I am sure she appreciates another half hour, and never argues!) LOL Nancy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kins2321@yahoo.com Posted May 1, 2015 Share Posted May 1, 2015 Ray... LOL! Sully is truly ready for the taxi service! My kids always wondered why I wasn't the parent to argue on getting their license at age 16! Football, wrestling, ski club AND..... Sophie!

Mistyparrot Posted May 2, 2015 Share Posted May 2, 2015 So I woke up this morning and did my usual routine before going to open Sully's cage which is right down the hall from where I was. I was getting washed up when I heard Sully calling from down the hall "Want to go downstairs? Want to go stairs?" It was too funny since he had never said this before. As soon as I walked into the room he greeted me with a "Good morning," lifting his little foot ready to be picked up all the while chanting "Want to go downstairs?" He can always make me smile lol When you would go for Sully in the morning did you say "Want to go downstairs? and he picked it up ? Or did he seem to invent the phrase? After I had Misty for about six months he would say "Can I come out" to come out of his cage. I do not remember saying that to him. I would have said "Want to come out". He may have learned it from his former paronts but they said no. Besides he uses my voice. I love it when they put words together to make a request or to comment. But It is strange. Things that I expect him to learn he rarely does and yet he is obviously capable choosing what he wants to say. I love to hear him turn words and phrases over. It is clear that are not just meaningless mimicry. In his mind he is also thinking of a context. Not always the context we expect though. For example when Misty wants to share my food or give him a snack his word is "Stopp it" I don't know why but he has stuck with it for ten years. I have suggested other words more appropriate but he won't use them. They can be quite willful and stubborn at times but never boring and always a delght to be with. I also love the raised foot request. I just cannot refuse him :-) Steve n Misty Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
