I have been teaching Manzi tricks lately and he has learned surprizingly fast. He also started imitating the sound of pouring water and I read that the african grey Einstein was taught by first saying the phrase, then praised and given the cue. So I started saying water and good boy everytime he made the sound. Since I gave him so much praise he made the sound an awful lot. It has been only two days and he surprized me by making the pouring water sound after I said water this evening. Just to make sure it wasn't coincidence I have done it three more times tonight and he has done it every time.
At first, I admit, I was really hoping that Manzi would become a big talker. I know that since he is only 8 months he could definetely still learn, but I realized how talented he is and he never stops to amaze me. He knows that he's my baby.
