My African Grey is 2 1/2 years old. When I sing she tells me, “Stop That” and if I continue to sing she will repeat her request. Ana Grey has a wick sense of humor. She barks at the door (just like my pug) and when I come to let the dog out she quickly flys away. Little sneak!!!! For all her oneriness she is my best companion for she tells me everyday, “I love you” and makes kissy sounds. Who can ask for more????

My Frank-Lynn Bird, a Timneh grey, will use a certain cuss word at appropriate times (sh*t!). Makes me laugh. And he knows when it’s bedtime. And he makes all kinds of mechanical noises, like the microwave beep, the front door alarm, and the back-up beep from the garbage trucks. And he knows when he is doing something that will get him in trouble, like getting down from his cage and taking a bath in the cats’ water dish. He will stop and look at me to see if I am watching. He and my son (who is now 17) didn’t get along when I first got him, and Frank would fly across the room to attack him. Then I had his wings clipped and they get along much better. We have had him for just over 4 years now, and he is such a part of the household, just like the two cats, who are still trying to decide is Frank is family, or lunch. He lets than know he is here to stay.

“accomplished mimics”? Really, have you every spent anytime with one of these guys…. They use words and phrase in context. Do they understand what they are saying? Yes they do or they can with proper guidance and training. Do you not have to teach a child how to talk?
