Our morning starts with a cockerel crowing in one of the neighbouring fields, and then the family of birds who live in the orange tree start to gently tweet amongst themselves...
... and then Ludvig starts!
From just after dawn we get his full repertoire of songs and words - including a few of his made up ones.
He's started to join things together or mix things up - sometimes with extremely funny consequences ('who loves you, walnut?' or 'to be or not too sexy for my feathers').There are a lot of 'you ou ou's in here. This is because he is learning 'I will always love youuuuu' and when he learn something new, he makes the different sounds before stringing it all together. It's quite interesting seeing how he learns.
While unsurprisingly I have taught him many of these words (I don't wander round the house muttering 'I'm too sexy for my feathers), other things he's picked up are the dogs barking, and then getting told off for barking (he does a Pixie bark and then tells her off) and a fair few 'out the ways' which we appear to say a lot!
If the above doesn't play, the one below should...
