- Enzo - adopted Female CAG circa 2004. A truly amazing young lady!
Ive noticed that Enzo doesnt speak many words all of the time, rather she appears to have 'this weeks favourite word', last week it was 'cootchy cootchy coo'. She seems to have a dozen or so most often used words, 'dad, come her, bye, nite nite, give us a kiss, no!' being her most common 'in-context' words. Since Saturday her favourite word appears to be f... off! Now I run a non swearing home and apart from the odd slip this is adhered to so i cant believe she has picked it up in my care. Even more strangely she seems to use this phrase in context, when I take away something that she shouldn't be eating like a stolen chocolate biscuit or when I put her in her cage when she doesn't want to..... she normally gives a single 'hooooo' when I ask her to do something against her will, now again its 'f.... off'!
When I first got Enzo the lady gave me a few pages of tips and information about Enzo and she had mentioned that she knows this swear word and to ignore her when she says it. That was 9 months ago.
So, is this normal do you find or do your birds have a vocabulary that is used all of the time or do your birds say things in cycles like Enzo?
