Just uploaded a new clip of YoYo. In the first minute he's singing "snowball" (we tried teaching him how to dance like snowball the Cocktaoo, but this is all we got). The second minute is YoYo having a phone conversation with himself. He "dialed", "talked" on speaker, and "hung up" the phone.

My YoYo is on Twitter (yoyo_agp) and he makes the Tweet Deck status update sound, haha

I'm wondering about if AG sleep talks too. My AG usually mumbles for 10 minutes or so after we cover him up for the night, but pretty sure he isn't really asleep but rather just practicing words softly while covered up. However, there was this once when YoYo was taking a nap next to me and all of sudden I heard some mumbling from him. I turned and saw his mouth slightly open and some unrecognizable noise came out and his eyes were still closed.:blink: That's when I started to wonder if birds sleep talk, but haven't seen anything like it since then.

YoYo weights somewhere between 470 to 530; different readings based on the last 3 times we visited the vet. He's a pretty big boy and the vets are always commenting on his big feet! :laugh:

Hey RileysMom, Sorry I'm a newbie to the forum so am having a bit of issues posting photos and videos. Hopefully this will work now. I've got only 2 clips of YoYo on youtube so far. More are in productions... This one was taken about a month after YoYo joined our family. Back then, he would only talk when we were not around. This one was taken few months ago after we realized YoYo's "singing snowball" because we all watched the dancing cockatoo Snowball video on youtube.

My YoYo's saying "I wanna go shower" a lot. He doesn't mean he wants to shower though, it means he wants to be taken to the bathroom where he loves to stand on the shower door.

Here's a picture of YoYo

Hi Everyone, I'm a new member to the Grey Forum and a proud owner of YoYo. YoYo is about 10 years old and he joined our family last October. YoYo was pretty shy when he first arrived at our house and it took us 2-3 months to get him to socialize with me and my husband. Now YoYo would talk for hours and wants scratch from mommy all the time! YoYo knows a good repertorie of words and household noises; things he says at least daily include: "good morning" (when we uncover his cage in the morning), "I want some" (when he's asking for food), "I wanna go shower" (he wants to be taken to the bathroom), "dirty bird" (when he goes potty), "kiss-kiss" (a trick that he does for treats), "go nite nite" (when he wants to be covered up at night time), "gotta go bye-bye" (when we are leaving the house), "let's go" (this is equivalent of a step-up), and "hi there" or "say hello" when we get home. Recently, my husband and I saw a dancing cockatoo on youtube named Snowball and wanted to teach YoYo to dance, but instead, YoYo thinks the word "snowball" means dancing and singing and would do a small dance while singing a song with "snowball" as the lyrics. I made a video of YoYo singing snowball the other day ( ) I hope to meet a lot of Grey lovers here at the forum in near future :cheer:
