Yes, eggs are actually one of the most "bird-safe" foods, I always give my guys some scrambled eggs when I'm making them, but before i add any salt, butter, etc. It's the dairy products that need to be in "moderation", only because their GI Tracts can't properly digest them, and it can make their droppings pretty nasty...well, that and most dairy products, like cheese, are also high in fat. But in moderation, once in a while, it's fine.
I'm glad that Clark also "talks", because Bowie speaks constantly and knows probably around 15-20 words/phrases, and he speaks very, very clearly. It's not that typical Green Cheek voice that you usually hear that's really raspy/rough, but clear as day. I never expected him to talk when I brought him home, it never even occurred to me that he would ever say anything. I actually thought that my Quaker was a male, that's what I her DNA-Certificate from her breeder said, so I was expecting her to be the talker...WRONG! After a few months of very suspicious behavior I had a DNA-test run myself during her yearly Wellness-Exam, and yeah, she's a female. So while she says 4-5 words, her voice is extremely rough and only i really know what she's saying, such as "No Bites" and "Ouch"...
What's hysterical (and annoying) is that Bowie actually says the few words/phrases that my Quaker says IN HER VOICE! So when Bowie says "No Bites" and "Ouch" he sounds exactly like Lita, and I can't tell if it's her or him saying it, but with everything else he sounds like me, clear as day...it's very weird. I'm used to my mom's CAG speaking in specific voices and accents, but Bowie wasn't supposed to be able to do this...My CAV told me that he has a lot of Green Cheek owners who are upset that their birds don't speak, or they speak in a really rough voice that you can't understand. I told him to tell them to be careful what you wish for, because they could have a Green Cheek yelling "My Baby, Give Me Kisses!" all day long, followed by a kissing-sound...
