Tuk was born in  July 4th, 1998. We got him the first of August. And hand fed him till October. We believe we all including Tequila have succeeded very well in the spoiling of this wee bit of a green colored monster.
We can fully understand why these birds, Quaker Parakeets are rated high with thier speaking ability. We believe Tuk to be 5 months old as of December 1999; we have no problem understanding most of what he has to say. Here is a list of what he says:
Brat child
Close the door
Come here
Come on
Don't do it                                       
Do you see this
Get outa here
Give me a kiss, (the kiss sound) Thank you
Give us a kiss
G'Damn it
Go away
Goood
Good morning
Go to bed
Hello
Hello pretty baby

Hmmmmmm

I Love you a bushel and a peck
I am such a Brat
Kick your butt
Kick your ass                                       
Knock it off
Leave me alone
Mmmmm good
Nite nite
Open the door

Poor Baby
Pretty Cleo - Tuk was such a hit, we have another Quaker Parakeet named Cleo.

The kiss sound
Tuk loves mommy
Tuk-Tuk go home
Tuk,  Tuk,  Tuk-Tuk (done musically)
Up
Up the stairs, (done while doing the stairs on your fingers)
What are you doing?
Whatttt?
Yum-Yum
What do you want?
You're such a brat.
You want to go nite, nite?
and of course the famous, or should I say the infamous laugh
He is singing the first refrain from the Free's hit, "Alright Now". Alright now, Baby its  alllright now. He is also doing Bobby Vinton's "Roses are Red". "Roses are red my dear" .
He is always learning, he can already  these  things or phrases or whatever you want to call it. I call it a smart Tuk-Tuk. We quit counting at least 64 phrases.
He seems to say some of these things in context, associated  with a specific action and/or reaction occasionally. But then again, he sometimes just jabbers endlessly and aimlessly. Sort of like how some people (politicians) do.
