Tycho, the Quaker Parrot talks....hatched July 4 2007...so he's about 7 months old. I'm the girl with the whiney voice talking...Ihor is the guy (spouse) and he keeps leaning forward...for Tycho to be able to climb onto one of the rope perches if he wanted to. He is usually really good about stepping up onto the perch but he was missing Ihor (he'd been working for the previous 2 weeks without time off...not even a weekend (the nature of hte military))...so Tycho was tired of me:)
