Echo's been talkative latey

[Sarahmoluccan]

Echo's been talkative a bit more than usual. I'm not sure why though things a bit more stressful lately but over all he's been doing really well. Here's some of the funny things he's said of the last couple days.

Yesterday he went to the vet for a nasal flush and nail trim. Poor guy was upset when I put his harness on him. He was shaking. This would be he's first outing since being boarded just before Christmas. He calmed down in the car and was was good for the trip. Echo is one my vet's favorite I think. They have told he is they're best behave avian client. And vet was really happy with him and said he look well, least stuff came out of his nasal flush and he was overall well behaved. I alway give heap praise on the way back home. I said some to the effect of "The vet's was really happy with you"
To which him replied, "I know, I'm a good bird."

On the way home we stopped at large Greenhouse that we have to pass by on the way to the vet's. They had a decent sale on and Echo always loves interact with people. A few people chatted with us and he was on a lady. When we got to the checkout one of the clerks really wanted to see him. He happily went to see her and was quite chatty. It really made her day. When he came back to me he say something like, "There you go." The clerk said "He must of known I needed that. A good pick me up for the rest of the day."

And tonight he was on my mom, who's not really a bird person, and he was trying preen her face. He does that with me alot but my mom wasn't having it. I told him you can't do that. I swear he goes, "But why?"

So those are my little stories of recent talkative Echo

Hello gorgeous Echo

Echo has still been fairly talkative and sometimes it's quite amusing. I've noticed a trend of him when he says something new it often defiant. Sassy bird! Here's the latest new thing he has said.

He likes to grab my glasses and throw them. I often tell him you can't have that. The other day he jump my shoulder and said, "I can have that!" And then proceeded to try and grab my glasses.

I'll supposed to spray him every day to help his skin. He hates but tolerates it pretty well. Tonight when I was bringing him over to the sink to fill the sprayer I told him "You have to be sprayed."
"No, I don't!" He shot back.

He chatty when we were watching PBS's Nature. I got a bit of on video. Sadly not the most interesting parts. I swear he said something interesting about the birds but unfortunately I can't remember it now. He has a tendency to stop talking when I pull out the camera. I get him reacting to an Snowy Owl flying though.

Chatty Echo

Usually when I pull camera he stop what he's doing and comes over to investigate it. Like this
