I finally said ok racal thats enough! my mom yelled your going nite nite he lifted his head looked right at her and said HI BABYYYYY lol she said ok but that does not stop you from being in trouble he laughed and gave her a loud smoochie kiss! hahaha he's so cute

Oh for sure, they know when they are in trouble... and that's when they turn on the charm!!

Smart little critters ...and Oh !! so cute too..

I think that when you have a bird or birds you have to expect that they will be noisy and silly. His vocabulary will develop in no time @ all. I really enjoy my bird and the noise he makes. In fact when he is quiet I miss it so much. It brings a tropical atmosphere to my home. My bird says some of the following phrases

Good Boy
I Love You
Hello
What you doin?
Mittonio (the cat's name)
Kitty Kitty Kitty
Daniel- My fiance's name
I'm Sweet!
I'm sweet pea!
You're Cute!
Come ere !
Step Up !
No No No No No !
Owwww !
Meoow!

He is learning more and more everyday and the best time to work with your bird to teach him phrases is while you hand feed them in the morning
Good Luck!
