Not all Talk is good

BB has been in rare form today. Talking and stepping up like a insane bird. Having so much fun

I took him into the kitchen to Visit James while he cooked and BB yelled as loud as he could. SHUT THAT DAMN BIRD UP

We just stood there looking and then BB laughed. Obvious something he learned from his past home . Sad very sad

The Catalina Macaw we fostered for several months used to scream jibberish word assaults that sounded like heated arguments she couldn't quite hear. Also, she screamed "Murderer!!!" one evening. [emoji15]

Anyway, sometimes it really only takes one single 'slip', and they can pick it up. Niko picked up a word that way. It starts with an 's' and ends in a 't'. It's a 4-letter word. :54:

He said it as clear as day after he had disassembled an entire toy and it fell to the bottom of the cage. We all just looked at each other, I was trying really hard to hush everyone up, but too late. Everyone was ROARING with laughter, including Niko. :32:

I've got a story to share: My Niko is going to be 3 in October, and he's picking up words and phrases left and right. One evening during cuddle time he suddenly insisted he wanted "Yum Yum". Yes, he begs for food that way In any case, I had nothing on me to offer to him, and told him, "I don't have any." Again, this time a bit louder and more persistent he says "YUM YUM!" "Niko, I'm sorry I don't have anything here," I replied. He looked at me and then said: "Let's go get it." I nearly fell out of my chair, as I certainly didn't expect THAT response. But I did get up and rewarded him with a treat and Niko has since replied in the same way many times.

Wow. It's sad that he was once in that kind of home. No wonder he took his time warming up. But now he must feel like he's in heaven.

And I can imagine how badly BB must've scared everyone landing on the couch like that! He's a big boy! ROTFL!

Has he been getting more comfortable with flight, Christine?

Yes, in context. Niko speaks a WHOLE lot in context! My oldest story of him expressing himself is right here:

Not really. The only time I see him attempt to fly is when he is startled. And it is not a pretty landing.
