(sorry, deluge of videos for now.)
the little parrot picked up the magic word – “please” – quickly enough. of course, it helped that the ‘bait’ i used was yummy-but-probably-full-of-msg stuff, ie. crackers.
oh well… whatever works to teach ‘em the Ps & Qs!
pleesh?
it’s nice (and pretty amusing, to us, his parents, anyway) having a ‘conversation’ with him, however brief and simple it is. getting the right response from him is surreal. for example, after returning home this evening:
mimmy: what happened just now?
aniq: *makes pretend-crying face*
mimmy: aniq cry? mimmy left the car, then aniq cry?
aniq: ahhh!
mimmy: then, where did you go with diddy?
aniq: *thinks* shop!
mimmy: ohh, shop. what did you buy?
aniq: pok! *gets off sofa and runs over to table where bits of chips were scattered*
(well, anything that’s remotely crispy is ‘keropok’ to him.)
now to get him to stop asking for those damn ‘poks’ and other equally bad stuff with his saccharine-sweet “pleesh?”… gah!
