Word UP

Sam the bird is really really close to talking. I've been singing a part of the song called "word up" to Sam. I say "the bird's the word, (du du du du du dooee) ...word up" and he's getting really close to saying word up. You can definitely hear the up part and I swear he said "good bird" plain as day the other day. Paul heard it too but we can't get him to repeat it.

Sam was being a real pill this morning to Paul but when I came in he regurgitated to me. Awe! I need to find something that he can play with for at least an hour or so because when I'm working, he sits on the back of my chair and then goes down my arm to my desk where he proceeds to tear up all of my pens, binder clips and tries to eat my phone cord. Then he crawls back up my arm until he drops the prize and then it starts all over again. Plus he walks across my keyboard and screws up my typing. I tried a baby toy that when you push the button a little song comes on but he's scared of it. I'm going to find something. Jason told me to put him up but I can't do that. I'm his human during the day.
