Hello all,

I know some of you wanted to hear how Ryan made out with his first full day home alone. Well he did great! He was dying to get to his tree though!

I also started doing some training with him. 10 minutes straight with no interruptions. We're learning "hello." Well after we were thru, I put him back on his tree, but as I was doing my own thing I kept saying hello. He got so into it and starting trying to get the word out! I thought was imagining things and that he was just doing something weird, but I went for my camera. Each time I said hello, he opened his mouth up wide and tried to get it out.

Here are the pics. I just love him!

In no time flat he will be talking! Hearing the first word gets ya right in the heart too!

Hi Leigh,

I have a feeling you're right. He is so interested in everything I say and I do, it kills me. I can't wait for that first word!

My guys were saying stuff within days. And trust me, Ryan is listening to EVERYTHING!!! Microwave, door bell, phone.....its a blast!

Oh my gosh, that second picture is hilarious! So adorable! I love his stand!

geez, ryan is the cutest amazon EVER! he's got a really cool tree too!

That is a nice tree. It has good extension of limbs. Is it a Kings?

Oh thank you for such sweet comments on Ryan everyone! He is a total trip.

The tree is called the Java 2 Playstand. And believe me, it cost just about as much as the cage! I did get a decent discount from my breeder though. Ryan loves that tree.

Those are great pics - he's stunning. And I love that stand too.

You should be warned that it's usually the things that we DON'T want them to say that they end up saying

Well I kind of figured that. Especially living with me God only knows what will come out of his mouth.
