Posted June 19, 200915 yr We had friends over on the weekend and were having a bit of a brag about how well Smokey talks. We were telling them his repertior of 12-15 phrases and he was chortling away, showing off and talking for them. Needless to say, our friends were fairly impressed. Anyway, during lunch, we were all sitting at the table, Smokey in his cage in the corner, when we hear "look at me" from Smokey... so we all look over to reply only to see him holding on to his swing with one foot and rampantly humping his rope perch! How embarrassing! But it didn't stop there! He continued to do this until i got up to avert his attention to something else, and you know what he said to me?! "Excuse me!" as though I was rudely interrupting him! Everybody laughed at this, of course, then I got down close to his cage and said to him that he can't stay if he's going to do that stuff and he said "okay"! Oh my gosh... just like a teenage boy! So Smokey was moved to the outdoor table to do whatever it was he wanted/needed to do to keep himself entertained, and we continued our lunch inside. Needless to say he has had a week of early nights since then, and from now on we will be seriously considering what he can and cannot be taught to say! Edited June 19, 200915 yr by CaspersRose

June 19, 200915 yr Author Okay, so I just told Smokey what a right little comedian he is, making Liv laugh like that.. his response: "Thankyou, can I have a kiss?". Doh!
June 19, 200915 yr Author Thats one smart budgie Hehe... some might say it $ just good timing... but as his mother, I definitely have to agree with you, Kaz!
June 19, 200915 yr :rofl: :rofl: :hap: fantastic!!! ... it reminds me of when I was young. We had a 'green' budgie called Rodger. He has a massive list of sayings and words... One day, Mum bent over at the fridge. He wolf whistled and then said 'hello sexy' :hap: :rofl: Still cracks me up to this day!!!
June 19, 200915 yr ...at least the words were not bad it was just that he used them in the correct context that made it all funny and embarrasing, that is cute
June 22, 200915 yr That's too funny! What a little character! I'm still trying to teach mine the "wolf whistle".
July 18, 200915 yr :rofl: :rofl: Thats really funny that cracked me up thanks Smokey LOL and thanks Caspers Rose
July 18, 200915 yr i really do belive sometimes they do know what their saying and doing i have had a few talkers and have two now although they cocky and a conure the conure can talk as if you were really discussing something freaks me and others out always the cocky well hes still learning but sometimes the talk to eachother thats really cute your bird is very smart and cute and must be very much a companion to you i know my two are
July 19, 200915 yr Author your bird is very smart and cute and must be very much a companion to you i know my two are He really is, GB. Initially I was a little disappointed that he was such a timid little man not wanting to sit on our shoulders or hang out outside his cage with us (we wonder if he had a bit of a frightening start to life, and has therefore become quite distrusting and therefore difficult to tame). But he is a really, really social little guy from inside his cage. His cage is right next to the lounge, where we spend most of our time, and he will chat away with us all day, and when he wants some affection, he comes to the side of his cage and gives us little kisses through the bars (as long as our hands are not in sight!). He will even come and give us kisses through the bars if we put our faces close and ask him for a kiss! So we love him... things would certainly be less fun without him!
