Hello!
I wanted to ask You a question. Shelby, my african grey when I'm at my house does not even attempt to speak. She has 1 year of life.
Twice I was from my boyfriend and I brought her with me (for two weeks) and they started to try to talk, he tried to imitate the other grey parrot, Milo.
Two or three times he mentioned almost a "hello" and "love," but when we went back to our house was again silenced. Do not try to talk, whistle only. Why do you think so?
