    Is Poet talking already?

    I was trying to get Poet off of the top of her cage to put her to sleep for the night and she didn't want to come down. I kept on insisting and she kept on resisting. And then, I could have swore that I heard her say in a really croaky voice "I don't want to". That seems to be a bit much for a 5 month old. Maybe I imagined it

    If she did not say it in words, she got the message to you telepathically

    I don't know, Lori... considering that Zaf can carve his initial in the plastic case of a television remote control unit, I wouldn't rule out anything . I'm sure you'll know soon enough
    He wanted to live. He was my Heaven... He's gone!

    She is only five months old. She is practicing though, she's making a lot of other sounds other than her natural ones.
