How Many Ways Do You Have Of Saying “Thank You”?

@Nebula It’s sweet when they haven’t been out in the sun room for awhile and we have a nice weather day and I put them out there. They’ll start saying Thank You! ….and Thanksgiving! Over and over. They really are telling me thank you for taking them out there. Today I opened the door to see if it was warm enough and it was. I hear Kiwi asking “What are you doing?”…. Put them all out there.

@PoetryNEmotion Boo-Boo gets sassy sometimes and says “Parakeet, Parakeet…We don’t care”. I don’t know how he came up with that one. He said it once after I scolded him for flapping his wings around after I vacuumed up all the seeds and shells on the table and floor around the cages, told him I just cleaned it up and he made more of a mess. So I started making more of a rhyme out of it and told him “Parakeet, Parakeet, We Don’t Care, We Drink Beer in Our Underwear”. I never heard him say it. But the boy was having a Zoom talk with one of his school friends and brought his cage into his room to show him and left him there while they talked. Then Boo-Boo said the whole rhyme. Anyway that other boy thought it was funny and said it and his little brother who was in first grade overheard it and said it at school. Somehow the big brother heard about it. 😖 Maybe the teacher mentioned it. 😂

@cherokeepatti Priceless story! So funny. When I was a child, our budgies imitated ducklings so well. They are fine imitators. I like canary song. Those orange ones...

@PoetryNEmotion I had one parakeet about 30 years ago that could sing like a canary. He was purchased from Walmart when they were still selling birds and they had parakeets, finches and canaries for sale there. Had another parakeet that could sing like robins because there were so many robins at the apartment complex and they would light down on the lawns around apartments and sing when it was quiet in the morning.

@cherokeepatti Yup! You've mentioned leaving the tv set on for them at times...and said that sometimes you play music for them.

@4meAndyou When Ike started feeling good I knew it because one morning this week he started talking and he said Music! And started bobbing his head up and down. 😂. He didn’t eat for two long days and I figured he would die if he didn’t eat the next day, put a lot of vitamins in his water and gave him greens and he started eating a little bit and more and more each day. That day he said Music I knew he was much better.

@cherokeepatti That's wonderful. I think all of SW will grieve if you lose any of your precious and funny
parakeet children.
