Sorry it is so far away I had to sneak the video with my iphone because he is camera shy

He is trying to give the talking ball kisses and say "Good Booooyy". So he isn't fully talking yet, but its exciting that he is already trying to form words.

So exciting. I'm amazed at the intelligence of an Eclectus...and their talking ability is incredible.

He is such a doll and a joy! Thank you!

Well it's about to get very interesting. They will pick up the oddest things. But things you want them to learn to say they don't seem to have an interest in.

I can't wait for that! He just chats up a storm to hiimself its hilarious and I can't wait for the first actual word! He just started this "chatting" recently. The first week I had him everytime he saw me he would let out a baby squawk. I am VERY glad we are past that. =)

My Ekkie does this too and I keep waiting for the first plain word. He just turned a year so hopefully the words will follow. Your baby is super vocal as well I see =) I love to hear Ekkie Chatter they sound like elmo lol

When you hear them chattering when they are by themselves, they are trying to form words.

Congrats... as Mike said... it will get interesting. Abby turned 2 in May and she is just now really starting to talk on her own... in the mornings when I am getting ready for work she says I love you, the wolf whistle and then Abby pretty girl.
We play where I tickle under her wings and say tickle tickle.. he is saying that all the time.
She has nipped me a few times and I say Abby no... guess what she is saying Abby no... repeating it several times..
Just like kids, they learn from us...

So cute, you sure are going to have a chatterbox in the near future,
JUST KEEP TALKING AND TALKING, they are learning new words and sounds every single day, even if they are not saying them.
