I think I will just copy the Email I sent today, Angel is awesome .
Angel is settling in rather well I think, He is eating well and talks and plays and LOVES to have his head scratched, He has only called out loud 2 times and that was when we he heard us get up in the morning and just did it till we walked in to the great room where we he is. And remember you said he doesn't like men, well he likes me rather well I
. He did give Debbie a bite when she was trying to get him to step up not hard enough to break skin , he has threanted me a couple times. Do you know what song it is he is singing when he dances? We can't make it out very well at all. He Loves a good paperback book too LOL and he will ask for a grape and when we give it to him he says thank you, but when he dropped his peanut he said " oh ****" hope he doesn't drop anything when our Pastors are visiting LOL .and once again we Thank You for Adopting him out to usRonnie

That's great to hear Ronnie. Angel is quite the talker... I was amazed at how well he talks and how clear it is.
Glad he's settling in well. Please keep us updated.

Benjamin Franklin is the picture on our Hundred dollar bills. So to say you spent a Benjamin means you spent $100.00
Or if you say you dropped a Lincoln it means you spent $5.00 as that's who's on our $5.00 bill etc.

I'm very glad he's doing so well! I sure miss his "Angel Baby" song. It was pretty cute. It goes something like :
"AAAAANnngellll, AAAAAAnnnnnnnnngelll BAAAAAYYYYBBBBYYYY" a couple times then "Gooooood Bbbuuurrrd, Prettty Angellllll" Of course this looks quite silly, but it was kind of to the tune of "santa baby" He has a couple of songs that he sings, twinkle twinkle is one of them...it's the tune not the words.
Well please do keep us posted.

Here is a copy of a Email I sent to Andie as a update on Angel, if anyone knows the answer to the question please feel free to comment.
Here is a pic of Angel on his new cage playtop, he is loving it as he spends very little time with the door closed. He has decided he loves to cuddle especially with Deb, He has taken up with me rather well and will even step up on Jay which is a shock as I can see the fear on him so I know Angel can sense it. We are so glad he is being a family member instead of just Deb's bird, when the older kids come over with the grandbabies he goes to the playtop and puts on a big show. and the best news is he is learninf to sing Jesus Loves me and says Praise the Lord. We do have a question tho being first time 2 keepers. He seems to keep his mouth open most of the time moves his tongue a bunch, is this normal U2 behavior?ThanksRonnie
I will upload a pic soon and put one up here

Ronnie it sounds like he's doing really well...HURRAY...Yes, the playing with the tongue thing with his beak open is a too thing...My Cowboy does it all the time.
I'm glad he's at least being sociable to you and the kids. Just make certain the the kids keep him below eye level NO Shoulders
Hopefully this is going to continue to be his temprament for all of you and isn't just the honey moon period, All of you keep working with him so he learns to trust all of you.
I'm so glad he's happy...and you are all as well.
Thanks for the Update.

I am glad for the company he provides Debbie with. Since the MS has gotten worse and she can't work with the horses like we used to Angel has filled a huge gap in her life

My house is so quiet with Angel not here...LOL Though it is only TRULY quiet with the lights off

I do miss Angel, his songs just crack me up. I am so glad that Debbie is enjoying his company and that he can help her in return for your family's kindness to adopt an older bird.
