Re: owned by elo
My white bellied caique is 11 months old and can say a few things just not very clearly. I know what he is saying, but others may not catch it since his voice is so high pitched. He says hello, whatcha doin, huh?, peek a boo, and can do the sexy whistle call. I agree that repetition is the key and make sure that you use a high pitch voice when you speak since their voices are high pitched. They will mimic what they hear. And they seem to enjoy some words more than others. And as far as toys my Caique loves hanging toys. He hangs from them trying to tear them apart. He will play games with his foot toys. He enjoys dropping things on the floor and watching you pick them up. He will do it over and over.... I have a swing hanging on his Manzanita play gym, he will unhook it, which may take several tries. When it falls to the floor of his playgym, he will then go down and toss it to the floor as well. He also enjoys throwing all his seed shells on my floor. I am constantly vaccuming around his play gym and he screams at me as if i'm destroying his art work...LOL But his hanging toys are truly his favorite
