Right now Salty is.....

[Sunnyclover]

Glad Salty is out of his mood and back to doing tricks with excitement...you go Salt!

LOL, yeah, every once in awhile he gets his feathers ruffled, but that's pretty rare. As I said , he can refuse any trick or even training any time he wants. Usually that's the harness, but lately he has been doing that on first or second request.

As predicted, todays weather was not bad 55+, so Salty put his harness on, like a champ, and we hit 3 stores: a pet chain, and 2 supermarkets. He was so well behaved, and in fact on the way home, Salty was grinding his beak ( a sign of a contented parrot) and even relased the wonderfull smelling X-Mas cookie smell. He's been asking for scratchies all day, and has benn having a ball with one of his new toys. It cracks the staff at the pet chain, to watch how Salty picks out a new toy. I hold it up to him and if he likes it, he starts to nibble on it; if not he ignores it. The supermarkets did'nt even raise a fuss about him being on my shoulder ( I would have told them he is my seeing eye parrot ). A fun day out side for sure.

That is a cool story! While I am reluctant to take Rudy into stores. I have on occasion, when we meet the owners first.. we periodically do a convenience store, CVS, pizza place, mail service, liquor store(s) and the organic store!

Love Salty's expression!!! You nailed it!!!

This photo so clearly displays why I Love Amazons!!!

Salty has the ABSOLUTE best expression! Just so lively and full of energy and mischief (SWEET, FUN mischief). And what a beauty.
You're looling very handsome yourself there, Al.

Aw, shucks, Miss Gail, it's just the lens.

Salty is so expressive! You can just see his curiosity and anticipation. What a great guy Salty is! (And you too Al!)

So 3 new videos of our baby ( weel, almost baby). He was really vocal this after noon, after our adventure to the pet store for toys and a impromptu visit to a Wounded Warriors bike run party. Never knew bikers liked parrots so much, he was a hit though the pop up tents for vendors spooked him a bit. I would a thought the band or bikes might have been the reason. Nope. Tents. Anyways here they are.

"Laughing jag"

"Lil Brown Jug"

"Pretty bird"

I love his laugh, so cute oh my gosh!! Salty is such a nice boy...

 

[Carl_Power]

He is a very special bird isnt he and always looks so so happy x

He doesn't talk as well as a Grey, most times, but he gives it a good go. Peek a boo, What are you doing, Hi Daddy, Hi Geri, Hi Erik, Hello, What!!, Yeah?, and Tinker!, these he says very clear, other things he is still working on. And singing, he sings like most Amazons, with melodies only he knows. He does this 3 note rin, in tune with the xylophone, which is surprising as heck to me. The hot 3 seem to be better vocalists,, with some really accomplished talkers on Youtube. Salty's species is not known as real talkers, so the fact that he is in the middle of everything all day long must be contributing to the few things he does say. And sing.

These videos are wonderful! It’s so obvious how loved and adored he is. What a joyful little guy!

I guess he is still young though so he could learn alot more words, songs ect x

 

[wrench13]

He loves watching vidoes of himself,and will start to sing along with himself,which is really funny. Little bum is in the middle of destroying a $7.00 toy -- in one day ! He picked it out himself,so no wonder. Its his second time with this exact toy.
