Talking

Butters is amazing me with his talking ability. When I first was researching Meyers it said that they may pick up some vocabulary but they weren't amazing talkers and that thier voices could sound sort of robotic. Well, let me tell you. This bird is talking and learning new things everyday!

He says: Hi, Hello, Pretty Bird, Kisses, I Love You, Thank You, Peek-a-boo and What?


He just was sitting on his playstand and telling me "Peek-a-boo Pretty Bird!!!"

He seems to be learning new things everyday and he has the best voice! Not robotic sounding at all. I'm just amazed! Sorry for the brag, but I had to tell someone .

Unfortunately my new camera (lost my old one) doesn't have a video camera feature. My DH is getting a new camera for work though in the next week or two, so when he gets that I'll get some video of Butters when he's in a chatty mood! :) Thanks everyone!

Thanks everyone! His eyes are actually a really bright orange. Almost neon. I wish I could capture it in a picture.
