I think all your birds are very lucky to have you as a parront. then so much and seem to have a lot of patience with Yvons, giving him the time he needs to feel comfortable in his new home and not taking his behavior personally must be tough on a parrot to be rehomed after a long time with one owner even if the new owner is a really good one.

SHucks.. Thanks! Sometimes I think I take too long, but that's my uncertainty speaking. I've been around birds a long time. My previous birds have taught me a lot, which is why I feel I am ready for a grey now. MY pionus parrots taught me a lot about chilling out. My conures- they taught me a lot about not getting bitten! My cockatiels taught me a lot about body language.

Yvons is learning how to say "Splat!'. We play voice games and he makes the cartoon falling noise (I beleive I mentioned this before) and I say 'Splat!' at the end. Well, today I did a (poorly rendered) Cartoon falling noise, and Yvons garbled a 'SPalt'! He also says 'Hello' and 'Yuriy', the name of a friend I talk to on Zoom.

Then Redshift, the cockatiel who rarely talks, said 'Birdy!'.


It's also turning out that everyone's favorite foods are Nutriberries and ALmonds. Except for Red, who thinks whole almonds are bird-eating monsters, LOL! He'll eat the slivered ones, tho

Aaaand another turning point! Yvons is initiating the 'splat' voice game with me when I'm out of the room or in the kitchen. He's also started using the water bottle! I've officially trained all my birds to use a water bottle! It makes birdy soup a breeze to clean up, and the water bottle is easy to measure to see how much they've been drinking. I'm so proud of my new brat!

Will have further updates later on.
