Bumble Speaks!

So I have this little self-monitored security system in my apartment. When a sensor is activated a camera records (audio and video) for about 1 minute. Lately I've been getting a ton of false alarms but it sets itself automatically when I leave and I haven't bothered to stop it.

Today when I got my first false alarm, I looked at the video clip and could hear Bumble chirping so I decided (like any wacko parront) to listen to her.

At 37 seconds in, clear as a bell, she says peekaboo. Twice. And then a kiss noise.

We've been playing and working on peekaboo for ages and she has been saying peek, and a couple of times peeka but never the whole word. She seems to enjoy the game though and has sort of added her own twist - I put her in a finger and hide her behind my hand and how she climbs up to the hiding hand and we do it all again.

And I did make my co-worker listen and she heard it too, so it's not just wishful thinking. I wish I could figure out how to download this recording so you could all look at my messy living room and hear her sweet little voice!

What a gratifying moment [emoji7][emoji7]

Take care, you could end-up getting a 30 minute dissertation on life as a Parrot in your home, authored by: Bumble!

They all practice when we are not around and surprise us at some selected point. Well at least you know that your hard work is showing results.

I can think of nothing more fun than hearing about life at my place from Bumble's POV. I'm sure it would start with "There's not enough millet in this joint" LOL

That is awesome! Now you'll have to catch a recording for the rest of us to lister to one of these days.... can't believe she's talking already!

I can't either to tell you the truth. I didn't think she would. "Peek" sounds a lot like a cute little Peep but she generally uses the same tone when we're playing, so I knew it was sort of talking, but I didn't think it would ever go beyond that. And maybe it won't in "public" LOL

Brilliant!

That is so great! Peekaboo indeed!

Bumble thought I was napping so she was practicing and I caught it! She's very quiet, so you'll need to turn the volume way up, but you can hear two clear peekaboos and tons of kisses. [emoji7]
