If you can't be happy with a non talking parrot, you're getting the parrot for all the wrong reasons.
But I'm with the rest of you. I'd probably be a little disapointed too. Its like owning a sheepdog who refuses to jump the hedges at agility training... like mine I love him to death though
Luckily Kika is starting to brabble a little bit. Like Michael said, its not really talking but as its mommy I can sure make out what he's trying to say.
