As of late our young little IRN Simo has become heavily vocal. He sits on the perch closest to us and just lets loose on the noise. He will attempt to imitate any sounds and words me and my husband make; or sound effects and speech he hears in movies and / or video games. I'd be lying if I said this wasn't extremely hilarious.
There's no set pattern to his vocalizations, he pretty much just tries to imitate any sounds he hears in this state. Sadly he seems to kind of fail but regardless, me and my husband attempt to encourage him when ever he succeeds in something. None of the sounds he makes like this are annoying or disruptive, just funny. Thus far he's doing great with laughter and coughing (very very funny to listen to). I'm a bit surprised because he's still quite young but frankly he's surprised us quite a bit with his extreme intelligence... and admittedly mischief.
