One of my friend's birds calls her "ma (MAAAA)" and "mom"
What kind of bird? TD's usually so quick to copy anything I say frequently... but I have been totally unable to get the Mom out of him.

Jingo has a few ways.

An incessant, repetitive contact call that he will repeat over and over again until I move. usually that means he wants me to feed him, regardless if there is food in his dish or not.

If he wants to be cute and get my attention, he will call me Koopa Baby.

If he is being a flirt and wants scritches, he kisses like Gizmo (a big dramatic MWAH). He doesn't do that often but it's so weird because it sounds just like her.

Bobber doesn't say anything to me unless it has to do with GET OUT OF MY CAGE. He gives me these big ol' eyes and head bobs when he wants what I have though.

A B&G macaw. that bird is in love with her, but then again, she is kind of a bird whisperer. Louise is in love with her too.. She tried to teach him "mommy" but I've only heard MAAA and mom, he improvises.

Milton has always called me "BIRD". It will change with the mood he's in about me, though...sometimes I'm "GOOD BIRD"...sometimes I'm "BAD BIRD". For awhile last year, I was "BABY BIRD"...for unknown reasons.
Lately, it's been "DAD"...which is cool...

Lucy calls me Chopper, which is one of my dachshunds name. She calls my wife momma and she calls my daughter by her name, Valerie. She knows all 4 of the dogs names, but I got stuck with Chopper too, silly girl.

Ever since you posted this I've been trying to figure out what Skittles parrotlet calls me. Today i finally pieced it together.

He calls me "big kiss" and if I don't respond after a few times he does this loooonnng big kiss.

I'm "girl" to RhuBird. (She's "good girl" to herself.)

And I'm *silently run away* to Lemy. Thankfully I've graduated to this from *try to bite if possible* which was my name for our first year together.

Man, Lemy sounds just like Lurch for the first part of his time with me. He did eventually graduate to flying after me like a feathered puppy when I would try to leave the room.

Guys, I have an awful confession to make. Fritz says one word VERY clearly. It is only at night and it is only when my husband puts him to bed. As my husband puts him in his cage and is locking the door Fritz says "n****r" (a very derogatory word)
I have NO idea where it came from and it's only at night with Josh lol. It is SO FREAKING EMBARRASSING. He never says it to me and he says it in a very angry voice, I think since josh is his "person" he gets more angry at him for putting him in his cage.
The first time we heard it I was mortified :jawdrop1:
So that's what Fritz calls my husband when he is mad...it's not nearly as cute as everybody else's:confused:
