[roz]

Herbert has been leaning to chatter and is getting better at it wevery day! He was trying for so long .. but since i moved his cage so he was closer to me and feeling more secure AND since he turned 1 on March 27th... HE HAS BEEN GOING NUTS! Louey Gooey is our Soloman Island Eclectus and lives next to Herbert.

It is so exciting when they finally turn those mumbles into clear words!!!!!

A word of caution roz, in one of the video, I can see a toy in Herbert cage that is not screwed in.........make sure all toys are screwed in so that your birds don't get their beak stuck on them!

Hey - Thanks ! I did not see that ... I have "battened down" all hatches !

Good gods .. i just looked at these videos again and got a wee tear in my eye.. What a sweetie! Plus he was so barbered at the time. He looks nothing like that now .. but he was so sweet - still is .. But will no loner speak in front of my camera!

Winter is tough on young birds!

I love my Herbert .. Uber Herbert!

You can see how young he was in there first two with his big black eyes.

I am waxing prolific on the King of Kings

Sorry ..

Roz (Herbert is asleep after a big day of singing, talking and playing ball )
