Hi Nicky's Mom! Sorry I was unable to log on to your Email or some reason, but I LOVED your website. We always had parakeets who live long lives (7-9 yrs) and had easily 50 word vocabularies so I can understand how amusing and adorable Nicky is, and how proud you are of him! I think people underestimate the intelligence of birs, which is a shame because they certainly have minds of their own! Enjoy Nicky!!!
