Ona’s Thread

[DonnaBudgie]

I should! She’d probably just try to eat it though.

I like trying to listen for words when she sings. I usually hear “bird” in there. My husband and I have a song we sing her that goes “Ona bird-bird-bird, Ona’s a bird, bird-bird-bird, bur-bur-bur bur bird…” and she tries to sing it sometimes.

Only problem is I don't think Ona is really a bird. Teach her to say "Ona's not a bird".

Yeah she’s basically my child

Velcro bird just velcroing. Whenever she REALLY misses me she immediately jumps to my shoulder after I pick her up. It’s her way of saying “don’t you dare put me down!! I live here now.”

Call me crazy (and many do!), but there are very few things in the world that are better than being owned by a sweet little birdie

Her favorite place to perch when I’m playing music. More napping than singing today.

She got grumpy during our training session earlier when we did harness work. Had to cut it short.

She fully expects to be told "pretty!" every time she does that Sometimes she even says it while she does it.

Ona has started doing some mimicry! Every now and then she will repeat a phrase one of us just said. Yesterday she mumbled "now he's happy". Gotta be careful with that I guess! It's interesting to me that sometimes it seems she has to really build up to saying a word and other times she just comes out and says it.

Yesterday I put a nutriberry in one of her toys and she carried it up to eat it above her pellet bowl. At first I was making fun of her, asking "why did you carry it up there to eat it?" Then I realized.... she is using the bowl to catch all the crumbs!!! *mindblown* She LOVES this kind of Nutriberries and didn't want to miss a morsel. She's so smart!!! Maybe even smarter than me because it took me a bit to even realize her plan there!

Ona does very well with training. My conures are mad genius’s. Mine are somewhat trained. I could do better about their training. @wrench13 has an Amazon parrot that puts bones in a container. Parrots amuse me, and their intelligence is intriguing.

Dance partaaaayyy!

and in this next one she waves at me randomly She also sings "mommy" toward the end. I think her singing is her just muttering a bunch of words she knows with weird noises thrown in
