My budgies seem to know when we are about to take a trip out of town and leave them with the bird sitter coming to the house twice a day. There's a lot cleaning and other activity before we leave that they seem to pick up on.

More Yvons stories! He's been with me for almost 5 months, and his sound effects have tapered off. I was stiff getting up from the computer chair about 2 weeks ago and said 'ooooooooow' as I got up. Said it twice. He now says it with my nasal inflection. He also says 'Evil Soul.' I wonder if he got it from the ghost shows I watch? Lastly, he makes a falling cartoon noise, and I answer with Splat. My conure, Charlie's learned to say 'splat', LOL!

I bought a Galaxy tablet recently to use for specific games.
When setting it up I set a distinctive alert noise.
Bella has started imitating the new alert noise in a week.

I was wondering how Yvonn was doing. Especially with the other members of your flock. Half the fun of a parrot that mimics is figuring out what it is and where it comes from. The track down can be frantic if it is annoying. You don't want to reenforces it. The real fun comes in situational mimicking. Example; Screaming and summoning help as a woman in duress while walking along shower rod in a motel. Embarrassing when security and police went knocking room to room looking for said woman. The culprit sitting on perch with a dumb bird expression. I had no idea about that particular mimic. It wasn't done at home. I narrowed it to a couple of movies.

Bella sounds so much like Nameliss. Does she ignore what you encourage her to say? I tried to get Nameliss to call buffalo wings by name. No go. My dad came for a visit. He asked her why she was eating 'cousin' and 'is cousin good'. My dad was here only a few days. Now buffalo wings and drumsticks are cousin. It's amusing and embarrassing at once.

It took her at least 2 years to say “bless you “ for a sneeze despite hearing it constantly.
She’s never learned to say “good morning “ or “good night” but I’m sure she knows what it means.
Yet she learned to say “red butt shower “ quickly.
She learned to say”have to go to work “ quickly and still comes out with it despite being retired 5 years.

She speaks both cockatiel and amazon language.
She will squeak out a cockatiel call and it will start up all the Cockatiels to calling.
Wonder if she is saying something rude to them

Do the other birds act friendly, scared, or irritated? The red tail hawks Nameliss mimics take insult and go into attack mode.
