Hey Moyra, nice to see you and wanted to comment on your lovely, colorful and playful feathered friends. They're great! Parrots are the most loving, intelligent, playful, boisterous, outgoing and social animals you could ever run across. Our little Senegal parrot, who is presently keeping us company in our room is always full of fun and surprises ... some of the things she has picked up are ... wakes us up in the morning with "Hey, wake up" ... imitates the bedroom door opening and closing with a perfectly-timed squeak ... and then says "bye bye" when the door closes ... says "Hello!" when the door opens again and we enter ... nods her head up and down in response when we say "Yes!" ... says "OK" when we say it's time to go to bed ... and says "Nite nite" when the light goes off ... calls "Dee!!!!!!!!" when she wants to see me ... says "Hey Ed!" when my hubby gets home from work ALL in context, and all without prompting. She says a lot more things too, I could go on forever! LOL I am SO looking forward to this product! 8-)
