Fussing back at me! LOL!

I recently purchased a Quaker that is 2 years old. He is so comical! Sometimes when I have him out of his cage, if he bites, I'll tell him that's not nice and talk to him about not biting. The minute I start fussing at him, I use a different voice, not loud but a little firm, he will start fussing back! The minute I stop, he stops, then the minute I start again, he starts! It's almost like he's trying to talk over me! These little things are filled with such personality!

too funny. Mine does that too. I can't understand him but its like a fast mumbly chatter with an occasional word thrown in.

That's hilarious!!! Bobbie does that when I tell her no. She'll go "MYAAAAAAH!" back at me in the same tone. They're so great.

My Quaker is just now coming to life I think. She is about 1 year old and I got her from a bird store. I got her less than 2 weeks ago and she has just been very quiet and still. Is this normal? Or is it just that she isn't used to her new surroundings yet? This morning I heard her whistle (like a cat call?) while I was in the bathroom, and I heard her doing a little chattering, but when I peeked at her around the corner, she stopped. I talk to her from the moment I get home (5:30ish) until I cover her cage (9:30ish). A lot of that time she is on my shoulder and I'm talking to her and giving her kisses. Last night she kissed back a little and chewed on my ear and even "pinched" me a little on the neck. Before this she just sat there quietly. Is she just getting used to me?
