- Enzo - adopted Female CAG circa 2004. A truly amazing young lady!
Well, Enzo's 'new thing' is to shout me when i'm not in sight as she will normally whistle or shout a random word or phrase to get my attention. She'll say, "daaaad, come here" in a rather cute tone just as my son would do when he needs me. If I say, 'ok, give me a minute' she is fine with that and carries on her thing as long as I actually do go through to where she is and say hello. If I say 'no!' she will say daaaad just the same but will raise her voice and sharply say "come here!", if I don't reply or say 'no' again she will shout rather angrily "COME HERE!!!!!" and do a whistle as you would calling a dog. I think its hilarious and also remarkable that she recognises that saying saying the same words but in different tones and speeds means a different emotion/context.
African greys astound me, although I think at some point it is going to wear thin as I feel like sometimes i am her pet. We have been buddies for 3 months now and we are getting to know each other more and more. I've still not had that bite that draws blood yet, but we are getting to know each others moods more, although she is massively more stubborn than I.
Good days!
