Oscar will make kissy nosies when he is eating also it is so funny. Now when I come to the cage he will say kiss and stick his beak out it is so cute. I think he is tameing good for me becouse the first 2mo or so I just let him settle in I did not hold him too much but I did talk to him in the cage....

He is at about 10 or 11 mo old. He talks so much now it is not even funny and he also laughs it is cute. He does have tons or personality that is for sure. Now that cute little thing he does with his toy when he is talking is that the male dance?
