How sweet beau is really amazing, does she talk with the "accent"

 

[antoinette]

Sunshine and Pineapple, my supposedly two or three year old cockatiels. Their past owner said she 'thought' they were two.

Sunshine can kiss, say "peekaboo!", and "what was that?"

Pineapple can say "peekaboo!" and "what was that?", but he's practicing "I love you".

When they start saying I love you, you don't want them to ever stop

Max, our 18 month old Alexandrine, doesn't talk yet, but he's making lots of random sounds, so I think he's getting ready.

I would love to experience two birds sitting together talking

 

[antoinette]

Shadow (eclectus) 8mths. Doesn't really talk, she has said Hello on occations but not consistantly. She does however make the strangest (and cute) sounds, does the ecky "seagull" squawk, meows like our cat, barks and likes to squeal in a really high pitched ear shattering voice.

Chicka (Sulfur crested) female, age unknown
Hello
Hello Cocky
Cocky wanna scratch
Cocky pretty bird
Cocky smoke some pot? (indication of what her previous home was like)
barks and laughs
Some other chatter we can't understand

Shadow will soon start talking "mark my words" some birds love to make animals sounds first then start talking

smoking some pot

Now, i'm also a little late, but what the hey(explicit word replaced!!!)
Kiwi's a 2.5 yr. old Maroon-bellied Conure(AKA brown eared Conure)
Kiwi can't really be taught to talk, he just kinda does when he wants to...

Words:
Hello
Almond
pretty bird
pretty
kiwi
pretty kiwi
Shut up!(when it's REALLY noisy)
Come here Mocha(our golden retriever)
target (during target training)
Dance, dance, dance(and bobs his head up and down)
Jeremy(my name)
Hey baby(flirty voice)
Please

Noises:
SSSSSHHHHHH!!!!!(when me and my sister are fighting)
He also sounds like he's bickering, to mock us sometimes...
Quacks like a duck
mimicks a robin, cardinal, and sparrow
and occasionally copies the animal noises from Animal Planet(T.V. station)

 

[Quantumcat]

Scarlett just learned a new one ... the iPhone standard ringtone. It is HILARIOUS watching my boyfriend jump up and look for his phone, only to look very confused as to why there was no call when he can hear it going off! Ok, he only did it twice, third time it wasn't very convincing

I admitI 'helped' Scarlett out with this one. For the last month, everytime he went out and I didn't, I would play a recording of it over and over.

Has anyone else deliberately taught their bird/s something as a joke on someone else?

Okay back to the Vocabulary Thread

When I take somewhere in our apartment, I tell her where we going.
I have been telling her from the day she first went into the bathroom, LoL almost 3 years ago "Mishka is going to the bathroom"
For almost a week now, when going to the bathroom early in the morning, she has been saying "Mishka bathroom"
For the first time ever this morning she said
"Mishka is going to the bathroom"

After dinner tonight she walked towards the bathroom saying
"Misha is going to the bathroom"

My little chatterbox amazes me everyday

 

[wildheart]

It is hard to not be jealous.

Mishka is a true reflection of her mommy.
