He replied" nope your getting old so you're out of balance" my goodness the world thru a 7 year olds eyes. I guess I need to re center my chi then hehe

LOL, My parrot in my avatar is named lucky....

We will NOT go quitely into the night!

Good looking bird you have there TH. My Mother In Law has an African Grey that has quite the vocabulary. It's absolutely hilarious when it repeats the answering machine message. "We're not here to take your call right now, please leave a message, BEEP, BEEP, BEEP"

Lucky has a large vocabulary too... He will even carry on a conversation with himself that can run on for 10-15 mins non stop.

When I put him to bed at night he will say every word he knows trying to keep from going to bed, he is like a 4 year old child that doesn't want to go to bed...

One day at garage sale people were talking to him and he wouldn't say a word. As I was getting into my van to leave he was sitting on my shoulder, he turns looks at me and says "I was so scared daddy.".

You guys should hear the bird giving the dog crap "Bailey, go lay in your bed!" or "Bailey, no begging!" and then see Bailey listen to the bird. :laughing7:

When the phone rings sometimes I let lucky answer especially when I see it is a telemarketer or 800 numbers. He starts talking and caller on other gets bewildered and hangs up....

TH etal,

A buddy of mine by the name of Dave has an African gray parrot with probably a vocabulary of 300 to 400 words....he loves being the center of attention.

At a group gathering a bunch of us were setting at the dinning room table sipping on wine and talking....since he wasn't getting enough attention he hopped up on the table and one by one knocked over the wine glasses....hopped down on the floor and started walking down the hallway....going "yak yak yak" to show his displeasure.....lol...

Regards + HH

African Greys are the number 1 talkers, I think amazons are a close 2nd, they are the species Bush Gardens use in most of their parrot shows.

I have never counted his vocabulary but a conservative estimate is between100-200. It is hard to count as constantly picking up new words

He talks in sentences and carries on a 2 way conversation with himself.

He will say " I'm lost ", waits few seconds then says "come find me"

Says "what does a cat say" waits about 3-5 seconds then says "meow"

He will ask " how you doing" i say im okay how are you?, he then says I'm fine."

It just goes on and on He like to talk so the more we talk to him the more he talks...

People walk by when I'm out and he is on my shoulder he will say "hello, how are you" to every one who walks by or will do a wolf whistle then say " how are you".


If I knew how much attention you can get from pretty women with a talking parrot I would have bought one when I was single.. LOL..

We will NOT go quitely into the night!
