Lurch already had a bunch words and phrases he knew and was picking new ones all the time. Dobby says Dobby, I'm Dobby, Dobby good boy, hi, hello and im sure others we haven't heard yet. Nerd spoke wild Pionus and whistles, we understood each other perfectly and he was happy.

He seems to really care about how he looks for sure. Lurch always had bronzed feathers from flying and being active and not really liking showers. Nerd had a habit of preening his chest when happy and over doing it with bird spit so he had feathers sticking up there unless he just had a shower.
Dobby has decided his shower cage and our showers are acceptable again so we throw him in it occasionally when he seems ready and let him soak in the warm water till he'd done. He'll try to bathe in cups and anything else he can find when he's ready.
I have pictures of Nerd and Lurch and many more of Dobby but couldn't find any others I'd resized and I know I've posted other pictures here before.

Beautiful birds! Pi have that silent beauty. :heart: (And sometimes not so silent)

@Dartman I wanted to ask where did the name Lurch and Nerd come from?

I like unique names or just something different so the two on the Polaroid were Ferd and Nerd bird. My original two wild siblings from 78. Lurch was new bird or Newbie for a long time till I found something that fit him. I realized he was big, mean, and came whenever I rang his Bell so he reminded me of Lurch from the Adams family so it stuck. Nerd was always the skinny klutzy one of the brothers and it just went well with Ferd. He knew his name, had a name for me, and a wild bird name for himself. Lurch was a very mad at the world scared to death bird when he got here and very slowly grew to trust me. Dobby got his name from Momazons daughter who was a big Harry Potter fan and Dobby has those big brown eyes. I'm not going to change it, he knows he's Dobby and proudly announces that he's Dobby when he's excited or trucking across the carpet. I have a lot more I can post as I have folders full of all my flock mates time with me. Ive had some form of digital camera since the late 90s and decent film SLR since the early 80s that I still have a couple of, good luck finding anyone to develop it.

I love unique names.
I like recording and taking pictures of my pets as well. One of my roommates says pictures are useless but I love to look back on them and they mean so much to me.
