  • He's such a charming birdie! :3 Amazing work with him and it's lovely to see he's getting so much love and attention! ^^ He's one lucky Tongo! ^^

    Haha, I so loved the Slurpy Beak part, the slurp sound he makes is so spot on and cool 8D

    I'm trying to get my Mealy Amazon to say phrases as well, but he's very young and likes sounds more than words XD So far he can only say a couple of words, haha XD

    Again, Tongo is adorable and very beautiful ^^ Thanks for sharing this!

  • Thank you! Be patient with your little one, he will pick up on things.

  • what a bird. I would like to know EXACTLY what you did to help him become such a great talking COG so I can do the same thing with mine.

  • Before Tongo was verbal we made an audio tape of phrases and names that he would hear around the house everyday. We played it for him 2x daily for 15 minutes. All along I would talk to him in context. I would say one of the words or phrases and we would create the situation for him. I would call Ron and he would answer. I would say breakfast and give him his food. I would call the dog and she would come to us. I gave him water and said the word. Plus I said the words sing song. WAAAA-terrr...

  • Tongo is a very handsome african grey of yours. He makes me laugh a lot ;). Oh and a Merry X-mas to Tongo and you.

  • Merry Xmas right back at ya! (from Tongo Too)
