danmcq Posted September 18, 2011 Share Posted September 18, 2011 Dayo as many other greys, uses words in sentences at times that just make you bust out laughing. I will start this thread with a few examples of his creativeness. 1) We have always told him we're going to "get his butt" as we touch his tail and also in a different setting when he is hanging upside down we tickle his belly which he loves and say "tickle your belly". He uses both, but he also made up his own... "Tickle your butt". 2) He loves many food items and types which he talks about a lot when it's close to a meal time. He also talks a lot as if he is on the phone (I know he picked this up due to sitting behind me on his stand while I am working in my office and answering phones/talking to customers). He will make a phone sound as if he just pushed the button which makes a beep sound, then he will talk. He will say hilarious things like "Hi Meatloaf" then "bye bye" and the beep hanging up. These are just two of many things that leave us rolling on the floor. I would love to hear others funny/goofy phrases their greys have made up.

katana600 Posted September 18, 2011 Share Posted September 18, 2011 With a rehomed parrot, some of the things he says are combinations of what her heard before coming her and some parts of putting new things with old. My favorite has to do with him understanding just what he wanted but didn't seem to have the words. That was the morning he was trying to get me out of bed a couple of hours early. After a couple of questions "Night night?" and a couple of answers, no it isn't time for night night from me trying to sleep just to a decent hour. To him not being able to stand it any more and demanding for me to "Quit night night". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Greywings Posted September 19, 2011 Share Posted September 19, 2011 My foster CAG Smoky Joe when asked to step up last week told me "I don't think so". By the way he just loves my son but I am only his maid service and cook. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CathyJr Posted September 19, 2011 Share Posted September 19, 2011 My Hannah likes to call herself Hannah bird, Sings bad bird bad bird what ya gonna do? what ya gonna do whene they come for you?

Jingles Posted September 20, 2011 Share Posted September 20, 2011 Jasper constantly says my daughter Summer's name... And he is constantly telling our dog, to 'get in your box'. So one day he goes, Summer, get in your box!' Stopped talking and then goes, 'WHAT?' It was hilarious... like he was asking himself what he had just said!!!

Vumes Posted October 2, 2011 Share Posted October 2, 2011 Whenever our Pomeranian Sampson barks (he isn't yappy, just barks when the kids are playing with him, or when someone is at the door) my CAG Annie tells him to "Knock it off" followed by "Be Quiet"! Whenever someone calls Sampson's name, or whistles for him, Annie also starts to bark like him. My wife's CAG (which we just rescued a few days ago) knows some very colorful language we have come to find out. Her previous owner seemed to tell her to shut up followed by some nasty words. I was floored when I heard this, but still think it was worth saving her from the man she lived with. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
birdhouse Posted October 2, 2011 Share Posted October 2, 2011 While I was doing the mini-spa thing I ran out of tissues in the bathroom. Hair piled up w/a pound of conditioner, green clay mask (you know that really hot look!), I went dashing thru the house trying to find another box. When Phenix gets concerned or confused, he has a habit of saying, "How are you?!?" until he's convinced everything's ok. I must have really confused him because he looked at me & said, "What are you?!?" Fortunately, he only uses "What" for attitude, like "You talkin t'me!!". Otherwise, I'd have had to put this in the Cognition & Language Abilities thread! lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

birdhouse Posted October 3, 2011 Share Posted October 3, 2011 Well, did you tell him "What" you are? I did, actually. I told him that lucky for him, I was someone w/a sense of humor because otherwise, he could have been in ve-ry deep yogurt! I also tried reminding him that I was the one w/the "keys" to his cage. But I didn't really feel like that made much of an impression, either. :rolleyes: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also, Dorian has expanded on the laundry sayings. Today I heard "I LUUUUUUVVV you laundry". Guess someone has to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
