It's Kiwi time

Sunday July 7, 2013

Today was a special day.

Kiwi's Hatchling Day!

A whole 2 years old!

Kiwi is quite the talker - and singer.

I've made up a few tunes just for Kiwi.

Here's one of Kiwi's favourites:

(Kiwi doesn't quite sing this yet, but soon I think.)

See see my Kiwi

Come out and play with me

And bring your chewy toys

Climb up my pumpkin tree

Slide down my rainbow

And through the happy hut

And we'll be joyful friends

Forever more.

I think Kiwi likes any song with the name Kiwi in it.

He does sing this tune:

I'm a little Kiwi

Short and stout

Here is my handle

here is my spout

Don't you tip me over

Or I'll shout

Loud and clear

You let me out!

out out out

And Kiwi also sings this one:

Choo choo

choo choo cha boogie

woo woo

woo woo chaboogie

chewin chewin chewin

All day long

Hey!

There's a few other songs I've made up for Kiwi,

but so far Kiwi only likes to listen

and mouth the words.

So I have been pondering...

Kiwi - are you a girl or a boy?

You see, there's no way of telling whether a Quaker Parrot is male of female.

Unless you get a DNA test done.

That involves a needle... and we're not going there.

I think the wing clipping outings are more than enough excitement for Kiwi.

Kiwi's a great talker. So smart... personally,

(in my completely unbiased opinion)

 I think Kiwi is a girl.

Come in the door and Kiwi says "Hello"

Hungry?

"Kiwi Eat"

When mommy gargles... Kiwi makes that sound

When mummy drinks... Kiwi makes gulping/swallowing sounds

Peek up from a blanket or around the corner

Kiwi says "Peek-a-boo"

Night time and Kiwi wants to go to sleep

"Tuck tuck, Nite nite"

Tickle Kiwi's tummy

"Tickle tickle tickle"

And when Kiwi needs to... umm....'go'

"Uh-oh"

"uh-oh gone" 

( after mummy's cleaned it up)

Here's more of what Kiwi says so far:

Step Up

Kiwi

OK

Good Boy

Thank you

Good Kiwi

Eat you up num num num

Wolf Whistle 

Pretty bird

Pretty Kiwi

How ya doin?

Whatchya doin?

Come here

Talk to me

Kiwi's so cute (and modest)

eat eat eat Apples and Baneenees

Stop it

Don't bite the daddy

hello baybeee

But Kiwi also can get a bit confused

(not that I had anything to do with this....heehee)

So here is Kiwi's confused dialogue:

I am not a duck , I'm a Kiwi! Quack quack quack

I am not a pig, I'm a Kiwi! oink oink oink

I am not a cat, I'm a Kiwi! purr purr purr, meow

I am not a dog, I'm a Kiwi! woof woof woof

The most recent development is in the morning.

 Kiwi says

"Mummy. Mummy. Come come"

How cute is that... :)

Well, not at 7am, for mummy night owl, lol

Heck if I repeat anything 10 million times, and Kiwi will eventually say it, lol 

Wonder what will come next?

Today was another addition:

This afternoon Kiwi said "Good Morning"

Need to work on timing a bit for that one.

Fresh toasted pumpkin seeds were a special treat today.

Mummy of course had to celebrate twice today... 

since it's also National Ice Cream month

but that's another story...
