HeatherStrella Posted August 14, 2007 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest briansmum Posted August 21, 2007 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
judygram Posted August 21, 2007 Share 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lovemyGreys Posted August 21, 2007 Share 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.

Nicole Posted September 2, 2007 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
judygram Posted September 2, 2007 Share 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.
