Well, he grew his feathers back on his chest, then a few weeks later started to lose them again, and now they are growing back again. BUT.....what is worrying me is that he has almost stopped swearing!!!! His main phrases now are "Stop it" closely followed by "Give up." AND he is talking in a quieter voice. Just wanted to share that bit of lightheartedness with you, seeing as I am bored as there is nothing on TV only football! Maybe he is just maturing

I'm glad that Tweet is getting his feathers back Carol. I wonder why he's stopped swearing.

Its me when I let Tweet sit on my hand, then he bites me so I tell him to stop it or give up, LOL Yes, he was more entertaining when he swore, CB. I have said to him a few times , "Tweet, that's naughty, swearing like that." Can only be coincidence that he's stopped; either that or he's more intelligent than I think, ha,ha.

I don't know, Chris. As for the feathers, he's still a bit patchy on his chest, don't know what it is.

Thanks, Rose. He has a basketball toy that fastens onto the bars of his cage and he is always getting a goal; puts the England team to shame!

Well - Tweet has started swearing again; he is so funny. Only problem is, I have a friend coming for a cuppa tomorrow; she hasnt been to the house before; maybe she wont come again if Tweet starts his repertoire. This friend doesn't swear! Help! Although I am pleased he's back on form, ha,ha.

Good luck for tomorrow Carol. I hope that Tweet doesn't get up to his old tricks whilst your friend is there.

How has Tweet behaved today Carol? I hope that he was on his best behaviour.

Pleased to say Tweet behaved with his language. My friend was a bit upset as he reminded her so much of a Budgie that she once had and she loves Budgies. He's talking his little head off right now, I bet he enjoyed himself this afternoon, seeing someone new and doing a bit of earwigging! LOL

I'm pleased that Tweet behaved himself Carol.

I read the story of somebody who'd paid a small fortune for a mature parrot. He returned it to the shop the next day and had a hell of a row with the owner, telling him his parrot was ill and had breathing problems. The shop owner denied it of course. Next stop was the vets who gave it a thorough going over.
"Heartbeat, normal, temperature OK. Nothing wrong with it." Right on cue, it started coughing and spluttering, THEN came the cue - it swore! It finally twigged - the bird had belonged to an old man with health problems, as as he coughed and spat into a tissue, so too did the parrot! It was missing it's owner who'd "gone yonder" and was immitating his ills perfectly. The vet, although relieved and sympathetic, didn't have so much sympathy - he still presented the new owner with a hefty bill - more than what he'd paid for the bird in the first place! I dare say the parrot picked up a few more choice words after that!
