[rec.birds] Indoor Conure...Talking?

pkoo@uhura.cc.rochester.edu (Peter Koo) (03/21/90)

I've been patiently teaching my conure to talk and its been three weeks
already.  I've also noticed several peculiar behaviors that come about
when I do try to talk to Bob (Maroon-Belly Conure).  For one, he would
fluff his feathers out around the neck and begin bobbing as if he was
trying to talk and he would actually try to kiss me (yuk)...talking
about sanitation.  Anyway, is he really trying to talk?

					Impatiently yours,
