: Our 4 year old grey, Mr. Peepers,
: has a large vocabulary and up
: until a couple of months ago,
: talked quite frequently and would
: go through almost his entire list
: of words and/or sentences. He
: suddenly stopped that practice and
: is now only saying 3 new words
: that he picked up which is all
: that he says! He also stopped
: whistling a few of his favorite
: songs and we've noticed that he
: doesn't play with his toys as
: much, either. He just had his
: yearly check up at the vet and
: everything was fine! We have two
: other birds, an active talking 2
: year old Eclectus and a Red Lored
: Amazon who he has lived with for
: the four years we have had him!
: He does everything with "the
: flock" and he gets ALOT of
: attention and perks! He has
: always been more taken with me
: than my wife, but he likes her
: alot, too. He was in a routine
: and knew about what time I would
: come home everyday for lunch, but
: I have since retired, eff. January
: of this year. I don't know if he
: has not adjusted to me being here
: more often or what! Could you
: provide an answer to our dilema?
: We are concerned about a possible
: behavior problem occuring which
: could lead to plucking!
: Thanks!
