Talking Vern is doing just awesome

Vern my rescue has bonded with me very quickly. Day # 16 He is no longer afraid of toys and will step up at times for me. Something really weird he does to me is he smells my hand before letting me scratch his head. I have never had a parrot smell me before!! (you can hear him sniffing ) LOL


I have him eating mostly pellets already too. He loves apples and will eat just about anything I hand him. Birdie bread and the blueberry waffles I had made a few months ago are quite a hit with him.. I also have started to have words and sounds in stereo. Echo either copies Vern or vise versa!!

I have also been able to walk with Echo in one hand and Vern in the other. No problem what so ever!!! I was a bit surprised at the difference in size and weight when they I have one in each hand too.

What a great guy that Vern is. Too funny about the hand sniffing. These guys are characters. I know people think I am nuts for having parrots but their little neurosis make me feel quite sane.
