I've been curious about this for a while. Blu knows many words & phrases but only uses them when he wants, as most talking parrots.
What I'm curious about is that some well known phrases he used to say have been changed to a squawk at the end instead of a word. Like he'll say "happy birth...squawk, instead of happy birthday. Or "I like squawk" instead of I like that. He says peek a squawk , instead of peek a boo. And what are you squawk, instead of what are you doing.
He used to say those phrases so human like. But now most of the time he does that squawk at the end. I am not trying to change him or anything. I am just trying to understand why he does that? For a while I had this theory that he resents human phrases but that seems kind of crazy. So I wonder if anyone else's parrot has done this, or if there's any explanation as to why? Sometimes he won't do the squawk at the and say the whole phrase but it's rare.
