The following videos are of Dad speaking with the birds and in one of them you can hear him speaking Spanish to them. Dad asked us if we knew the names of the birds and we replied that we didn't, but he told me the names of the birds were in my phone. Going with the flow, Shelley told Dad that the names of the birds were Cheech and Chong to which Dad agreed.
In the first video you will see Dad approaching the birds and speak to them, In the second video you can hear him speaking in Spanish to them.
Other September Visits with Dad
On September 6 Dad spoke with his sister Noemi in San Antonio for a few minutes and he started to cry; maybe it was because he heard a familiar voice from his past.
On September 13, I visited Dad alone and he was asleep for most of the time so I just sat and watched him sleep. After about 10 minutes he open his eyes as if he knew he was being watched. He didn't know who I was but we just talked. His dinner came while I was there and I helped cut his food so he could eat it a bit more easily.
On September 14, Bruce visited Dad to say good-bye as Bruce and family have moved to Southern California, about 500 miles south of the nursing home. Bruce said Dad slept for most of his visit.
