Does anyones zon scream? I am hoping I lucked out... the zon I have at the moment just whistles (loudly if he doesnt get his way) and says a couple of words.
Ever is beautiful, and what a good name!

...thanks! I love Ever! She's such a sweetie...I can do almost anything with her...scritch her, cuddle her, flip her upside down...wrestle my earrings out of her beak...

...she can be VERY loud, but she's generally only loud at meal-times or occasionally when she wants me but can't see me...it rarely goes on for more than a few minutes, so it's quite liveable...

...drawbacks? None that I consider serious...she does have a tendency to nip me too hard if anyone comes too close to me too fast...but she's never 'bitten' per se...

...and for her own sake, she's a bit too much of a perch potato...I have to work hard to get her moving!!!

She also vocalizes, but I wouldn't call her a 'talker'. She can say 'Hello' and 'Hello good girl', along with a few phrases we recognize, but can't translate...but she does the best wolf-whistle of all time!!! We also love the way she 'growls'...scares the dogs AND the cats!!!

i've had my Mexican RedHead for 21 years and throughout the whole time he can still make me laugh. It amazes me the personality that he has and his playfullness. He can bark, meow, howl, roar, imitate crunching sounds when I'm eating chips, cereal, etc., say hello in spanish when I knock on wood, laugh, cry, mimics karate moves...all in all he's just hilarious. believe me it's like having a goofy kid for all these years.
