Pascal (African Grey parrot) is still my constant buddy when I’m home. He says a number of phrases now. One day I asked him “What’s Up?” and he replied “Not Much”. It was so neat! He calls himself “good boy” a lot and says “What’s up?”, “What you doing?” and other similar phrases. Plus he has hello and the worst laugh that Dave could have taught him! We unfortunately heard the a**hole word twice out of him in one day. I have an idea where that came from, and it wasn’t me! He has a number of other words too. He’s fun to listen to and talk with.
I had been feeling a bit sad for Michael’s cockatiel, Sam. We’ve had her almost a year now. She sits alone all day with no bird to talk to. Michael didn’t want to move her downstairs with the other birds though, so on Christmas Eve, I got him a second cockatiel. We have them in separate cages and may keep them that way. We want them to stay friendly to Michael so keeping them apart but in the same room should help with that. Michael thinks it’s a boy (I don’t) and he named him Lance. It’s a pretty little bird. It is the noisiest one in the house, squawking up a storm when you handle it. Michael loves the little bird and is doing a good job on the taming.
I thought you might like to see some photos of Michael and his birds, so here are a couple. Doesn’t he look so happy!!
