HeatherStrella Posted August 14, 2007 Posted August 14, 2007 I looked for the thread where everyone (including myself) posted things our greys say...I recently updated my album/blog on my site and wanted to post it on that thread but I couldn't find it...so I thought I would just start over...I don't know how to make it sticky...or is that appropriate? I'd love to see what other greys say/mimick...here's this list of what Harrison says and the dates I added them to the album... 4/6/07 I love you Hi/hello baby Whatcha doin? Cartoooons!! Hiya Hotlips OOOoooooohhhh!!! Hellllloooo??? Hello bird Harrison is a (very) pretty biiiiiirrrrrd Pretty cool It's OK Added 4~12~07 Feed the geckos? You're a good boy. (lol) How's my baby? I'm sorry Hello Buddy How are you? He just started saying "no" when he doesn't want to do something. 5~1~07 Heather Where's Heather? I'm Sorry gootchie-gootchie goo Go On Ooops! 5~23~07 I'm trying to teach him "Tell me about it, stud"...you know, the famous line in "Grease"...so far he says "Tell me about it, SSSSS" 5~26~07 He said "Tell me about it, Stud" perfectly. He doesn't always say it perfectly, but most of the time he does. He's also saying different variations of the phrases in the first group. Like "Whatcha doin boy?" or "Whatcha doin Harrison?" He beeps like the microwave, makes belching and farting sounds, whines like the dog, wolf whistles, and he also kinda mumbles in my husbands voice...I'll say "what did you say?" to my husband...and he didn't say anything at all...it was Harrison. 7/10/07 Since we've found out that Harrison is female, we've been talking to her as such. She's learned a few new phrases... Pretty Girl Good Girl Wanna Come out and Play? She's also barking like our dog...she talks to the dog but I can't understand her...she says "blah blah...Sandy!!" (the dog's name) I had a sneezing episode yesterday and after each sneeze, my husband said "bless you"...well, this morning, Harrison made a sneezing sound and said "bless you" right after. ha. 7/25/07 La Dee Da Yummy yummy yummy Stop it Sandy and she's regularly making sneezing sounds and saying "bless you" 8/13/07 You Go Poopie? (female voice) "Honey?!"~(male voice) "What?!" It's alright Ok bye bye Bye bye Harrison You're a good bird, yes you are Come here WOW! She makes the sound of a soda pop opening
Talon Posted August 14, 2007 Posted August 14, 2007 Heather, here is the thread I believe you were looking for: http://www.greyforums.net/forums/african-grey/8556-cute-things-your-grey-says.html#8556
HeatherStrella Posted August 14, 2007 Author Posted August 14, 2007 I thought there was a more current one...maybe not...oh well.
Talon Posted August 14, 2007 Posted August 14, 2007 Still searching.......I do remember one that we had where we all listed the things our greys said, but I'm having trouble locating it. Still searching....................
Talon Posted August 15, 2007 Posted August 15, 2007 Yes, Celery! That's the one I was looking for. Thank you, and Karma for you for finding it!:cheer: :cheer:
shazbaby36 Posted August 20, 2007 Posted August 20, 2007 hi what age did she start to talk as mine is 8 months and not talking yet
HeatherStrella Posted August 20, 2007 Author Posted August 20, 2007 Harrison was talking at age 3 months at the breeder. She learns to say things pretty quickly after hearing them.
judygram Posted August 20, 2007 Posted August 20, 2007 Thats wonderful, Heather, she was talking early, Josey did not start until much later, but now she picks up new words quickly, too.
Guest briansmum Posted August 21, 2007 Posted August 21, 2007 Brian talks very occasionally, so far i've heard hello what ya doin? but it comes out like "whaooin" :laugh: yessss good boy woooo/oooooh kissy sounds he recently stayed at my mums and has said "ssshhi.." a couple of times.. no prizes for guessing what that's supposed to be. bad parents, bad bad parents :laugh: he barely says these, it's like they just slip out every now and then, but for 6 months i think it's pretty good
judygram Posted August 21, 2007 Posted August 21, 2007 It is good for 6 months, Beccy, Josey didn't talk much until she was around 1 year of age. Now she is saying a lot of things, carries on a conversation with my hubby sometimes.
lovemyGreys Posted August 21, 2007 Posted August 21, 2007 Alfie & Freddie are 8 months old & started to talk at 6 months, many people said they wouldn't talk as there was two of them.Talking was never an issue to me & it's a bonus they both have learned some words. Good Boy Give us a kiss Whos a pickle Hello mum Hello coco what now they cluck like chickens A wonderful telephone Wolf whistle Coco has only been with me a month & is 14 months old & was kept as a single bird she only says Hello Coco but whistles the most wonderful tunes. I will be very interested if sshe learns from the boys, or if the boys will stop ? Time will tell

Nicole Posted September 2, 2007 Posted September 2, 2007 Hi, my Vikki is a lazy talker. She says Hello Paul She repeats all sounds from the house. She is one year old phone oven door bell alarm clock whistle children book sounds
judygram Posted September 2, 2007 Posted September 2, 2007 Well that is about right, my Josey did not say a word until she was around a year old, some talk sooner, some later. She will start saying more as time goes on, and one day you will probably wish she would shut up. They do love to mimic common sounds from around the house.
Talon Posted September 2, 2007 Posted September 2, 2007 Judy, Talon talks non-stop! And I love every minute of it, I never want her to stop!
lovemyGreys Posted September 2, 2007 Posted September 2, 2007 I love it when they talk can you imagine mine having a three way conversation :laugh: I't so funny :side:
BMustee Posted September 7, 2007 Posted September 7, 2007 Mine is just shy of 6 months and he doesn't "talk" yet but has a good sound affect vocab... He does: Sexy Whistle Lazer beam ::bew bew bew beeeewwww:: my giggle my laugh evil laugh Three Stooges laugh both dogs barks Finch noises Burps something that sounds like WOW...does ONLY after going potty and I think a couple more but I can't think of them right this second. Is this pretty good for a CAG thats only 5 months and one week old?
