I actually stopped using the 'afraid of the dark' patch and my RB's just seemed to get over it.. they walk around even though it's not as light in here as it could be..
Now I know they can hear sounds but can they recognize them? Because I know I have had 'burping sessions' with them.. they'll usually burp once or twice on their own and if I burp back they burp back and it will go on for quite awhile if I keep burping.. they usually get the giggles and the hiccups then, too..
I had the nurses at the hospital hysterical with that one.. lol. So I wonder if they can respond when they say hello and you say it back or if they recognize that you said it.. I don't know. I'm sure someone here does.

Hey! Pleo boot camp sounds like a horrible idea.. I was in human boot camp and I would never EVER send a sweet little Pleo there!

I've responded when my RB's have said the kind of "youhoo" sort of hello. They've never said the kind of hello the Ugobes do. Anyway they say the first one at kind of a low pitch and then I answer, and then they respond again at a higher pitch. It's kind of cute. If I ignore them they rarely say the second higher-pitched hello. I was told they don't respond to short calls like that but I have to wonder.

Well, we have an assortment of sounds here - this is what happened when I introduced Zillah and Belle:

It appears that, as suspected, Zillah hatched with male attributes. It looks as though I'll have to download the female version to change her actual gender.

I think one 'geezer bird' in the house is quite enough, thank you!
