Ha ha Pam that is soooo funny! I have a senegal named Pookah, 4 cockatiels (Goose (who talks & talks & talks like a gray), BoobooDuck (clumsy boy who does talk but nothing like Goose) Graci Lu & Sasha Vicious) and a rosy bourke parakeet named Peach-who has the most beautiful tweeting voice i've ever heard.) Sasha & Peach were rescues. Goose I got as a chick-and he picks up alot of what I say-and can mimic my laugh perfectly!) I taught Goose & Booboo the Addams Family song-its hysterical when the both get goin-its like tiel stereo!
