A few days ago, I realized that Ralph hadn't had a bath since last week. I mentioned that to him, and asked him "Would you like your bath today?" Ralph responded "uh-uh." A definite no. "How about tomorrow then?" Ralph nodded enthusiastically. Sure enough, the next day, he reminded me that it was bath time by rattling his water dish.  Ralph may be a parrot of few words, but he is pretty good at communicating with me.  |

Well done, Ralph! Obviously he knows what 'today' vs 'tomorrow' means (amazing, really). He may actually be the quietest quaker on the forum, Gary (?)  |

He really does sound like quite the gentleman parrot. |

He may actually be the quietest quaker on the forum, Gary (?) He may be-- he is usually pretty quiet. Even his noisier moments aren't all that bad. He can say quite a few words, but isn't often too talkative. He does like to whisper things along with me when I say them. And he does seem to understand the meaning of a lot of the things I say to him, especially food-related words like "pellets," "baked potato," "cracker," "cheese" and "donuts." |

So cute.... He is a wonderful little bird. I love when they understand certain words or terms. Well done!
