I took some pics of my goofy boy today after we were done showering.

Here he is in all his fluffy wetness

Scratchin an itch

Suckin up the lovin from mom

Here's Toby's googly eyed look... looks like he's in heaven

In this one, you can see how he fluffs his face feathers even.
And look at the little thingies (yeah, real techinical, eh?) around his eyes. Aren't they beautiful??

Oops, too close with the camera.

Don't worry, he's not biting me. He likes to hold on to my finger when I'm petting him. Or he'll put my finger in his beak and then slowly scratch his head. LOL
He doesn't apply any pressure. Sometimes it looks like I'm holding his beakie or something but my hand is just there, he puts his beakie into my hand. Silly goofball. Do any of ya'll have birds that do this??

Tooooby.

Give him lots of kisses for me, Jod. Great pics!! I was just about to ask if you had any new ones!

He is beautiful, thanks for posting some piccies!

Thanks girlies. I'm just a proud mama.

FYI - He's still doing good. He seem to feel much more himself by this afternoon after his shower. He was babbling and kissing and being goofy. He ate his whole dinner (little piggie) and even managed to harass poor Tito Burrito.

He is such a neat bird! So what are his favorite things to say?
We have a 57 year old gold crowned amazon at work and she is just the sweetest girl. Our manager adopted her form a local bird rescue. She says Bertha and Jojo and "Get the Phone!" at the top of her lungs and then she whistles to find out where we are in the store. (she likes to keep tabs on all of us) She says other things too but I shall stop there.
We of course whistle right back. I love going to work because of her (Jojo) and Beaker my manager's Senegal.

He's got a pretty good vocabulary for his age (he's 2 1/2 yrs old) but some of the most common:
Hello (several variations)
Hi
B-Bye
I love you
I love you bird
I love you crazy bird
Crazy bird
Come on
Come on Bubba, step up. Step UP. STEP UP.

Come here
Step Up
Bubba (nickname)
Peek a Boo
Peek a bird (LOL)
Bad bird (oops!!)
MANTO! (from when I hollar at Manto)
Manto, QUIET (can you tell Manto barks too much)
Hush! (talking to Manto again)
Get (talking to the dogs)
Get now (dogs again)
Go lay down (dogs again)
Wanna treat? (talking to the dogs)

He laughs several different ways. He barks and growls like Tito. He will bark like Tito and then say hush.

He will bite his cage and then say "uh uh, bad bird" or "uh uh NO"
Of course everytime the phone rings, he answers it. And when the microwave goes off, he screams (thinks his dinner is ready).
He whistles for the dogs and then laughs at them when they come running in to the living room.

He keeps us entertained!!!!
