Janice, he's adorable! I had no idea Ruby had a predecessor. Isn't it great you found those pics and the tape!! Always remember that anything that we have loved and that has loved us will be with us again when we pass on! I forget who's quote this is: If there are no cats and dogs in heaven (& BIRDS) I want to go where they went.
Sehr süß und gelehrig. Wir hatten einen Wellensittich, der genauso sprechen konnte. Er hieß:Schnuckiboy". Große, große Trauer, als er starb.. 5 Sterne für Dich und liebe Grüße !
@thinggybob I was told by a breeder to let the bird only hear one person talking, no other birds or people, and to repeat one word or short phrase over and over every day until the bird begins to say it. If they are young when you get them, they will think of this as their "song" and begin to sing it to you. After the first phrase is learned, begin another. Once the bird is repeating well, you can let other people speak to it and it will incorporate what they say into the song.
