DarkGreenGoblin Posted December 28, 2007 Share Posted December 28, 2007 Alright, people? My name is Chris, I'm 17, from England. I have a 2 year old Congo Afircan Grey, who I have had now for 2 years. He's name is Alex. He is semi-tame (all but sitting on my arm or shoulder) He has quite a good volcabulary extending over 50 words, sentances, and noises. He picks up words fast and is a good learner. And he also knows how to annoy me into getting what he wants lol. He is very tame with me, he likes to play alot, talk, and generaly mess about. I look foward to exploring and learning from this site. - ChriS J M Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DarkGreenGoblin Posted January 11, 2008 Author Share Posted January 11, 2008 Well, now that I have introduced Alex, I'll introduce you to his Vocabulary. The list is what I can remember from memory. He knows just over 1/3 more words than is listed. Also, he has learned quite a few "choice words" but I have removed them from the list for the benefit of any members who may be offended. Alex’s Vocabulary Alfie Alex Alright? - (Always his greet when I come in the room) Anyone want tea or coffee? Away! Bloody ‘ell…. Come here Daniel! D’you want tea? Er, Hello? ‘Ere what happened?? Geordie Get Down! Get down, go on! Get down, you fool! Get on your mat! Go away! Grow up Hello? Hello If you hate Arsenal stand up…! Hey, mum! Lay down! No… Oh, god Oi! Pikey Right! What? What!? Yeeeees! Yid Army! Yiddo! Your round We hate Arsenal Whoooooo! (Wolf whistle) (Phone handset Beep) (When phone rings; he says, “Hello?”) (Basic Tom Hark tune) (Car alarm on/off beep) (Smoke alarm - battery low beep) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
