Fascinating! Thanks for sharing!

I wonder if changing a parrot's name could be a bad thing?

I've always wanted to change Blu's name but something subconsciously keeps nagging at me not to do it.

Rhubarb has a specific chirp for me. And a lower one for Husband. It's funny to hear because it's her lowest-pitched chirp. I think she's trying to speak his language.

Not sure what Lìmone calls me... but he uses "hey baby" quite a lot. I think he heard it (in reference to himself) at his previous home.

I've always felt my animals communicated with me. Nermal , my cat had a very distinct sound for hello I'm happy to see you , I'm hurt and need help, can I have a snack , etc. I found cheekys reaction to this film interesting . She watched and listened very intently and cuddled up making cooing noises when the baby's were peeping
