I just found this site the other day. I joined and then asked a question in one of the forums (still tryint to figure this thing out) about my grey only repeating my husbands words even though he will have nothing to do with him and has attached to me....I got a lot of responses and was so surprised. So thanks to everyone and I can't wait to figure out all this site has to offer and explore. Oh by the way, I have a 6 month old Congo African Grey named Chuck.

I have a 6 month old African-Grey. First time owner and I love it. His name is Chuck...its funny to say.lol. He talks up a storm. He can say "come on, come out!" "Whatchadoin", "Wanna come out and play?", "step up pretty boy", "No, no, Cricket (our dog)" or many other phrases ending in Cricket. He can say "good mornin", and much more including my husbands yelp "owwwwwwwww, no bite!!!" because my husband is constantly trying to get him to step up for him but Chuck will have nothing physically to do with him which brings me to my original point. The bird has obviously bonded to me. I can hold him and kiss him and feed him and cuddle him...even my daughters can hold and pet him. But my husband cannot so much as bring a hand near without getting bit. Chuck is obviously not a friend of the men folk. SO WHY is it that most everything Chuck has picked up is straight from the mouth of my husband. Chuck mimics him to the T. And the weirdest part is that my husband is home very few hours a day. So I don't get it. I spend countless hours with Chuck and talk to him all the time. My husband comes in and says one thing and Chuck has it down....super strange. Does this happen with anyone elses birds???
