That video was hilarious! I have to get around to posting the one of Maple I have saying Peek a Boo over and over and over....until you finally hear my step son say..."I'm sick of saying peek a boo".

LOL!!! Funny little creatures they are!

Glad you enjoyed it again, Karen! That Stella is an amazing singer. She turns just about any word or phrase she knows into an operatic aria. She not only says "hello" and "peekaboo", she sings them each, all up and down the musical scale. That bird makes me laugh every single day!

The freakiest thing I ever heard was blue and gold that came from a divorce. He would periodically yell "Help" on the top of his lungs.

Some of you know the story of how I inherited Libby. Her first owner was in the process of a divorce. The lady had Libby a B&G and a Too. The divorce was pretty nasty. One day the woman came home from work to find that her ex had taken his shot gun and shot the birds. All died except Libby. She decided, for Libby's safety , to find her a new home. Richard, was her second owner. Richard was a good friend of mine who happened to be blind. Rick had Libby for about 10 years when he was diagnosed with cancer. At the end, Rick was so out of it that he didn't recognize anyone nor would he speak. His wife and I would go to the Hospice daily to visit. We would sit and talk to him not knowing if he could comprehend anything or not. One night, his wife asked him who I was and, he answered. His reply...well, you know who that is, she's Libby's new mom. That was the last thing Rick said before he passed away a few hours later. Now, getting back to the past language. I have had Libby now for six years but once in a while she will yell out...Richard, oh Richard...where are you Richard. That makes me both sad and happy. Sad that Rick is gone, happy because Libby remembers him.

Such a bittersweet story, Susan! I have been fostering Chelsea an OWAmazon. She is a friendly, lovely bird. When she first came in August, she said she was a "Butt-bird". She said it loud and clear, several times. Everytime she said it I contradicted her and told her she was a lovely bird. Now she tells me she is a "Love-bird".
