I saw the parrots on the Amazon, also. I've seen various wild flocks here in California. I think Sammy was probably wild caughtt since his human family had lived in Africa (I don't remember which country). Having Precious has been an experience I will always cherish. I am certain this has made me what I am: eco concious. I do what I can to protect and conserve both the animals that have come to me and all others, domestic and wild. This is part of what dictates my life syle.
Thank you all you wonderful friends! I'm eight years old, still young enough to flaunt it. :silly: Don't tell my mom though. Ah, Spock, you're so sweet. I love you, too!:kiss: I love all of you!{Love-000200BF}
PRECIOUS
Today is the Bird Day for our beautiful, super-intelligent, gorgeous, super-genius girl, named PRECIOUS. Love you, darling baby!
Your human mom:kiss:

The only thing I know to do is ignore it. As for other words you can repeat them and say "What a good girl", giving her lots of praise. They do pick up sounds very quickly, don't they.
You poor, poor guys! I weep for you.:silly: Birds? Singing is part of the mating ritual as I understand it. Parrots? Precious talks and makes sense, so there! And she's a girl. She laid an egg to prove it. We did not know what Sammy was , but "he" :unsure: was a wonderful talker. He didn't carry on a conversation with us the way Precious does, though.:lol:
Hi RudysMom! I am glad you asked the question, and I also understood you perfectly. You have received the best of all possible advice from the best of the best. Good luck in your choice or no choice of another bird. YOU will know!:cheer:
Yes i read it and I cried. I cried when Alex died, also.{Feel-bad-0002006A} I had so hoped he would live much longer. He was priceless (but aren't ALL our greys?).
Is it possible your prospective flatmates don't understad how complex and intelligent our greys are, what their needs are and the joys that they bring us as part of our families? If educating them doesn't solve the problem I agree you need to make other housing arraingments. The best of luck.
