So I was sitting here watching episodes of beavis and butthead(yea, I know lol) on the computer and ziggy randomly started talking up a storm! Her previous owner told me that she would talk and that she sounded like a muppet but until tonight she hasn't actually said anything. I couldn't make out everything she said, she was really quiet and would only talk if the show was playing, as soon as I turned it down or paused it she would stop lol. She was laughing and saying what sounded like "whatcha doin' ?'" and "good boy" which makes sense because her previous owner thought she was a he lol. It was the cutest thing, I was laughing so hard I literally had tears coming out. And when she told me that she sounded like a muppet I don't think I fully understood until now, but she actually does sound like a muppet lol, she has such the cutest little voice! I just had to share! I'm so proud :) I've always been one of those people that really doesn't care whether a bird talks or not, and I kind of get offended when that's the first thing people ask me, as if they are some walking sideshow or something, but it's always pretty cool when they do.

That's cool. You know that means she is settling in very nicely.

When i had Alex's all 4 birds talked. I didn't expect them to, just that i am such a chatter box myself I guess they couldn't help but mimic me.

Even now when one of my babies say hello at 3 months i get so excited. Must be a parrot carers thing. LOL.

It was great but today she decided that she was going to scream her head off until I finally turned some music on, now she is content. It's so weird, she went from being super quiet to letting out a yell if either of us left the room, to talking for the first time(with us anyway), then incessant screaming today. Oh how I love parrots :) lol The music seems to really help, thank god for pandora radio lol
