ROLLEMUP Posted February 20, 2008 Share Posted February 20, 2008 My bird is 15. He speaks fine. He sings. He imitates noises. Lately he likes to pretend he can talk, I mean like people. He makes english phonetics and he has all the intonations like he is talking but he is not saying a single word. He laughs in between. I think he sees spirits. Of course it probably doesn't help that I talk to myself.:whistle: You think greys be taught to speak in sentences? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shamelessmuse Posted February 20, 2008 Share Posted February 20, 2008 Grey's often make up words and put things together wierd. It isn't that uncommon at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
judygram Posted February 20, 2008 Share Posted February 20, 2008 I think you answered your own question, you talk to yourself and that explains it. My Josey laughs too and she does a pretty good imitation of me laughing and that is hilarious to hear yourself laugh when your mouth is closed:blink: :huh: Why don't you introduce yourself in the welcome room and tell us a little more about you and your grey.

danmcq Posted February 20, 2008 Share Posted February 20, 2008 Welcome Rollemup! That is very comical. They do make sentences up and also speak in sentcences they have learned.....Like calling the Dog, Chloe, come here, come here, wanna a bone? Hmmm, Hmmmmmm Good girl :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sandra902 Posted February 21, 2008 Share Posted February 21, 2008 part of my job is to make reminder phone calls to my customers. that involves saying the same short script over 10-30+ times at a pop. one day i overheard merlin chattering away nonsensically but using the same inflections as my little scripts. since my desk does not face him, he couldn't make out the words i was saying but he did hear the cadence of my voice which he began to imitate. and if that weren't funny enough, when i lost my voice he imitated my whisper which threw a huge scare into me as i thought he was in some desperate fatal respiratory distress! what a joy these little creatures are. what a depth they add to the simplest parts of a day.
