Yeah, he's cute but being very loud this morning. He's not often loud but if I'm using the vac or a loud kitchen appliance, he likes to join in!

This is a video of Dizzy (one of my gliders) playing Spin the Human with my son, David. You might want to ignore the weird lady cackling like a loon. Dave is single BTW ladies (and three years older now) - lol.
I didn't realize that they speak in context! 'Course, it figures. Parrots are mega-intelligent. If it weren't for the shrill whistles, I'd love to have one again. Loud, shrill sounds drive me buggy. Found that out with a pair of rainbow lorikeets. They were gorgeous, but killer if you have a migraine. Anyhow, Fred is adorable!Rave, both David and the glider are cute!
Fudgey, Fred's vocabulary is quite extensive. It's amazing, really, and he speaks in context as well. My hubby jokingly says that we would enroll him in Kindergarten, but he's smarter than most of the children!!!LOL! Ken didn't want me to have pets at all, as we are retired, and it tends to be bit of a hassle sometimes. I didn't really intend to get Fred. I answered an ad, went to meet him, fully expecting to be afraid of him. He flew to my shoulder, and said..."Hello, How are you?" That's when I took out my wallet!
I have eight birds now. Most of them needed homes, and are smaller than Fred. I am finished now though...I have to admit I don't have time for more.

Very, very soft - like chinchilla fur. But Dizzy, like the rest of his colony, really doesn't like to be petted. No fair!Sharon, that's a beautiful bird. I never knew much about domesticated birds, but I once saw someone with macaws and large parrots that loved to be held, petted and scratched. I knew they were intelligent but had no idea how affectionate they could be.
rave, also a beautiful little creature! It looks so soft.
