chatty lady Writer Registered: 02/24/04 Posts: 20267 Loc: Nevada	Checked out some information on this type bird and they are extremely intelligent. I bet he could be taught to talk if he doesn't already know some words. It must be such fun just to wake up everyday knowing hes there. Like a welcomed houseguest. No one would ever think he could be hit just because of his name and I also found out that the birds origin would allow a hispanic name like Pinata. You are so lucky and I hope you get to keep him. Whatever hes called I'm sure it will suit him just fine.

The conure is not a big talker, but very smart and funny. My conure liked to cuddle up on my chest...very loving and sweet, and also!!! if I had him perched in front of me on my finger and started laughing, he would mimic the laugh, hilarious!!! He would also dangle upside down from his cage door teasing my cat! who would salivate, but KNEW not to bother the bird! Birds are so much fun...maybe I better get one! Also, check out Victor the Talking Budgie on the Internet...Fascinating! ARI

And watch out for the beak, little but razor sharp. All this chat is making me miss our Zoe. [ April 15, 2005, 12:36 PM: Message edited by: Jersey Girl ]

chickadee Member Registered: 09/26/04 Posts: 3910 Loc: Alabama	Vicki, I can't wait for your next blog. In one way I want the owners to find their pet and in another way...I don't. On a name. You already have Jack so why not Jill? Depending on the sex of course. chickadee [ April 15, 2005, 01:31 PM: Message edited by: chickadee ]

Vicki M. Taylor Member Registered: 01/06/03 Posts: 2196 Loc: Tampa, FL	Well, we're getting closer to naming him, I think. Hubby and I are drawing up a list of names that we both like and we'll choose one that we both can agree on. I'm kinda leaning toward "Bailey". The bird recognizes Jack our dog and has started teasing him. He knows when he shrieks, Jack will come running. Jack of course is still quite fascinated with the bird. He woke up this morning and the first thing he did was go running out into the other room to see if the bird was still there. I've tried tempting the bird with little treats but so far, he isn't interested. I've tried grapes, pecans, grape tomato, and cut up carrot. Anyone have any other ideas?

Vicki M. Taylor Member Registered: 01/06/03 Posts: 2196 Loc: Tampa, FL	Chickadee, I missed the part of your message about "Jill".. how cute! ..but, we think the bird is a "he".. at least that's our assumption. The only way to tell is either surgically or with a DNA test. That's what I've been told anyway.

Vicki M. Taylor Member Registered: 01/06/03 Posts: 2196 Loc: Tampa, FL	Ari, yes.. avacados are poison to conures, as is ice berg lettuce, and of course chocolate. Well, the carrot offer didn't turn out too well. He's turned his nose (er, beak) up at them. I think I'm going to try some seeds/nuts and see if he likes that.

Vicki M. Taylor Member Registered: 01/06/03 Posts: 2196 Loc: Tampa, FL	spareribs? How bizarre. I wouldn't think a bird would be a meat eater, but I guess so. Well, ladies. I've decided on a name. Bailey. As in Bailey Bird. It's not very exotic, I know. But it fits how I talk to him and he seems to enjoy the sing song - ness of it. Since I'm home all day, he's become used to seeing me walk around the house and hearing me. Especially when I talk to Jack. I swear, Bailey's first words are going to be "Jack, No. Bad Dog." Jack's been climbing onto the sofa to get a better look at Bailey and he knows he's not allowed on the sofa.
