BTW-I love the name Fern for a bird...my mom wanted to name me that, but it would have been a NIGHTMARE growing up with my maiden name. So glad she didn't! But it's perfect for a green bird!

No, no plans to teach her to talk unless she picks it up on her own. She always makes enough random noises. She does make some really random noises though. If you make a clicking noise or a "kissey noise," she'll do it back.

ETA: Thanks for the compliment on her name. I had been liking the name for awhile but it didn't really seem to fit a cat or dog. It was between "Fern" and "Kiwi" and I think Kiwi is a really popular bird name (particularly with parrotlets) so we decided to go with Fern.
