Yes it can learn to talk and whistle songs if taught. They think mine is female which is much quieter than a male so there is a chance she might not talk.
Today I let it take a warm bath in a shallow dish of water, it was sooo cute, if only my daughter had batteries in her camera!
I guess some make a special perch for their bird and they take a shower with them because they love it. I don't think I am going to go that far. lolBut I might buy this harness with a leash and let it help me garden this summer! lol Or maybe she will sit on the dog, because he likes to be wherever I am. One thing I love that she does, is hang upside down when she wants to come out of her cage, to get my attention. It is hilarious.
Having a bird, has taught me about trust and security, almost like an abused child, they will be shy and attach if they feel threatened. Maybe we just understand where each is coming from. lol
I think crickets would freak me out too, my dad used to fish with them. I remember how gross grasshoppers are when they spit at you. I hated that as a kid running through the yard. But I think having transula would be the most terrifying, could never reach into the cage and get one of those for a customer.
