Hello!

[Retro21]

Hi all! We have a 10 year old Greenwing named Lola. She's a great bird, except for some recent behavior problems, but I'll make a separate post about that! She's a great talker, she has about 50 word vocabulary. She's a snuggler and always a source of entertainment for us. We have had her since she was 4 months old. I'm looking forward to reading about everyone's feathered friends here!

Pictures please!! My gw Moses turned 6 months yesterday. I am wondering at what age did Lola start to speak? Moses says hello (although not the clearest) He does lots and lots of mumbling but nothing that I can make out except his Hello.

Welcome to the forum. I adore green Wings!

I am on a waiting list for a baby in next years hatchings, but I did just find an adorable 3 month old little girl GW that will be coming home in Feb. or March.

I look forward to seeing lots of pics of your Lola.

So, I take it I should post some pics, huh? lol, ok, here you go:

This is an oldie, but one of my faves. We used to have an RV with a cage in it for Lola. Sadly, we had to sell it.

Brianlinkles: Lola started talking almost as soon as we brought her home. I think her first word was either hello or peekaboo. Peekaboo is definitely her favorite word, it's the one I am most likely to get her to say on command, but even then she is sometimes stubborn, lol. She learned a large majority of her words while bathing or showering with me, that seemed to be when she was most excited and talkative. She hasn't learned any new words in quite a while though.

Thanks for the welcome everyone!
