Jake

Well we have been sat outside today enjoying the beautiful sunshine and if we closed our eyes we could have been on Brighton beach!

Jake the african grey has learned from somewhere to make a noise like a seagull--we haven't a clue where hes got it from-but then he does a good chicken impression as well and we don't know who's taught him that either!

There is never a dull moment with him. We bought a clicker that is used for training dogs -you click and give them a treat-we used it very successfully with out other bird Paddy the orange tipped amazon.

However Jake now makes the clicking noise and says Good Boy Jake-which is sooo funny!

As you can see they are both outside in the shade where they can watch the fish in the pond--Jake also takes off all the wild birds and has blackbirds, sparrows and lots of other birds song from being outside. When the phone rings he says hello before we have chance to.And you have no hope of talking on the phone near him-he thinks its time for him to show off all of his vocabulary and talks his head off, so you have to take the phone into the other room!

I dont think we have watched an tv program all the way through-we end up watching Jake instead--
