Raposa Posted June 5, 2009 Share Posted June 5, 2009 Thank you all for your kind words. My mom will probably get out of ICU today and hopefully Jenna will have her friend back by this weekend! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Partner316 Posted June 5, 2009 Share Posted June 5, 2009 Well, yesterday I went into the bathroom and shut his cage cause I needed to shower and didn't want him getting into trouble. I shut the door and he starts whistling and clicking.. So I start doing it back. Well he didn't think that was enough. All of a sudden I hear him say "Come here! Step-up Partner! Step-up!" *more whistles and clicks and words that I couldn't understand* So I've come to realize that he likes to talk when he knows I'm a room over and he can't get to me. I see him moving his tongue and mouth around a lot more recently so I'm going to guess he is practicing talking w/o any sounds. -Nick- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

danmcq Posted June 5, 2009 Author Share Posted June 5, 2009 Nick, he is definitley practing words and they do start making calls and verbalizing when you leave a room and they can non longer see you. Toni, thats very cool. :-) Alcazar is getting into the excitement and fun as well as the children. :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZivaDiva Posted June 5, 2009 Share Posted June 5, 2009 Toni - That is adorable! Alcazar must be having so much fun. I bought Ziva some infant toys and he loves them. The toys have lights and sing songs and if Z starts singing - The wheels on the bus go round and round - I will just die. I thought those days were over and I'd never have to hear those songs in my house again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luvparrots Posted June 6, 2009 Share Posted June 6, 2009 The other day when Ana Grey was on her cargo net I thought I heard her say "come here" this is what I say before I open her cage every morning along with "Open the door" when she comes over to it. So today I didn't say it and just sat down. And she came over to the door and said, "come here" I was so excited I immediately opened her cage. I am pleased!!!!

ZivaDiva Posted June 6, 2009 Share Posted June 6, 2009 Yeah! Ana Grey is telling you what she wants! Thread highjack - sorry! I've been thinking about a cargo net. Where do you have it hanging and do you have anything underneath it to catch poop? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luvparrots Posted June 6, 2009 Share Posted June 6, 2009 Joann, I have the cargo net hanging in front of my office window, it is an 8' x 8' net which covers the complete window. I have newpaper under it and change it daily!!! The floor is also hardwood. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Janfromboone Posted June 14, 2009 Share Posted June 14, 2009 I just had to add a converstion I had with Tobie last night. He was sitting on my shoulder and started doing this very soft resonating but quiet mewing sound. I started playing with him. Me: "Tobie! Did you hear that? It sounds like a little bird far away in the woods". Tobie: "Mewwwww" Me: "There it is again!! Did you hear that??" Tobie: "Yeahhh" (matching my amazed tone of voice)then "Mewwww-ha-ha" Me: "There it is again! What do you think it could be?" Tobie: (very softly presses his beak against my ear) "pththththth" (gives me a very soft raspberry) I thought it was hysterical - but maybe you had to be there.

Char Posted June 14, 2009 Share Posted June 14, 2009 A while back I started trying to teach Whisper to say "peeka boo, I see you". Well she has said "I see you" for quite a while. I just stopped saying the peeka boo part but she did not forget. Today I said "I see you" and she came right back with "peek a boo".:laugh: As I posted in another thread the other day I have been teaching her the song from "COPS". She will say "bad bird, bad bird whatcha gonna do? Whatch gonna do? but has not gotten the "when they come for you" part yet. So today she just make up her own ending. Said, "Bad bird, bad bird. Whatcha gonna do? Whatcha gonna do Whisper? Whatcha gonna do?" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ZivaDiva Posted September 3, 2009 Share Posted September 3, 2009 Time to get this thread going again as I find it so funny. Last night, Z jumped off his cage several times and ran around my bed while I was sitting on it. I got sick of it and said, "What are you doing?" He replied, "I don't know" and continued to run around my bed. Someone rang the doorbell on Saturday and he yelled out, "Door's open!" He was on his cage and asking me questions. I responded the first zillion times and then went back to my book and ignored him. He repeated, "What 'cha doing? Are you happy?" When I didn't reply, he yelled, "SAY SOMETHING!!" A few random things - "Pretty is as pretty does" "Ollie is a barn owl" (Ollie is our cat he torments) "You're pretty. Now go outside, you smarta$$" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Raposa Posted September 9, 2009 Share Posted September 9, 2009 This past weekend my husband went out of town for a 3 day weekend at a music festival. I did not go for a number of reasons (Jenna being one, naturally), and evidently Jenna thought I needed reassurance. She has taken to saying my husband's name, she must like the way it sounds. Anyway, almost as soon as he left, Jenna cocked her head at me and said "You want Paul Porter? He'll be right back!" Hehehehe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
danmcq Posted September 9, 2009 Author Share Posted September 9, 2009 Awwwww, what a sweetheart and intelligent Grey Jenna is. Thats so comforting. :-) Thanksfor sharing this! Karma to you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZivaDiva Posted September 9, 2009 Share Posted September 9, 2009 Jenna sounds so adorable! Z and I had many conversations this weekend but I'm drawing a blank on most of them. I messed up and left the AC on in the bedroom with Z when it wasn't that hot and when I went back in, he yelled at me, "It's too cold in here!" Earlier he asked me, "Are you all right?" I said, "Yes. Are you all right?" He replied, "I'm pooped." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pearllyn Posted September 9, 2009 Share Posted September 9, 2009 I've just found this thread and have thoroughly enjoyed reading all the posts - Karma to you Danmcq for starting it! Alfie and I aren't quite at the conversation stage yet, although I usually do get sensible replies from her when we're playing about - typical interaction might go like this me - blow me a kiss alfie Alf - (makes kissie noise) then blows it me - good girl Alf - good girl, step up (then flies to me) me - good girl Alf - good girl (She says this a lot at the minute!) Then I'll put her on her perch me - have a whoopsie alf Alf - have a whoopsie (has one) good girl!! Alf - (screams) me - (in a whisper) sshh Alfie, say it quietly Alf - psswsswss (quietly) We do a lot of chatting when I'm in the shower too me - Where's your little duck? Alf - quack quack quack me - where's your pussy cat? Alf - Miaaaaaooooooowwww! me - where's that little monkey? Alf - ooh ooh ooh aah aah aah! me - and where's megan? (our big dog) Alf - Meeeegan! (whistles on her then barks like Megan) I'm amazed by some of the stories I'm reading on here and can only look forward to the day when Alfie is telling ME to keep the noise down!<br><br>Post edited by: pearllyn, at: 2009/09/09 13:34 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pearllyn Posted October 1, 2009 Share Posted October 1, 2009 Not really a conversation, but Alfie was climbing down the curtains comando style this morning, to get to the top of the fridge where she knows she not allowed! She bumped her head on the wall on the way down, we heard it, then she let out the biggest "OOOoooooowwwww!" We were helpless! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
