I taught my CAG to say, "I am a bird. I'm not a dog." I don't think she gets it. She still barks!

One of my birds can imitate my phone. He lives in an aviary on the patio, so when I'm out in the yard, he will make the sound of the phone. I hear it, thinking it's my phone ringing, and come running from way on the other side of the yard to get the phone ... which of course, isn't really ringing! This bird has me trained well, as I fall for this at least a few times a week!

Duki pretends to be the microwave, it causes similar responses as making phone noises. He seems to realize that the microwave gets attention when it makes that noise, so for arguments sake he can make the same beeping noise and get head rubs.

Congo African Grey parrot. Very talkative. My daughter has one. He calls the dogs and sounds just like my daughter when he says, "Jim! Jim! Jim! Jim!" (Jim is her husband's name and he never listens when you call him once)

Ha Ha Judy .... funny I can picture that ...." I want some waaater" ..(wink) ....

As we all know Too's arnt the best talkers, more mimics of trippy sounds, although Sally does say "I love you" , and " Im sorry" ( as she cowers back to the rear of the cage , when she knows she has does somthing bad) and what they dont have in vocals they make it up in " snuggles" as there is no bird out there as affectionate as a too'.
Oh yea .... they are one heck of a DANCER TOO! .....:p;):D:p

Sally Loves to dancev^v^v^

AWESOME ! ..... thats quite the talker ..... funny story , years back my aunt had a double yellow amazon. Well.....my rowdy lil cousin taught it "what the F***?" . One thanksgiving , family at the table , Grandma asks one of us to pass something on the table and the bird who is in the kitchen listening to all this shouts out ..
" What the F***" ....yas should have seen the look on G~Ma's face!:p
that was 30 years ago ....and still one our family funnies!

Ah yes, African greys are remarkably smart animals. Behaviorist Irene Pepperberg taught her late subject, Alex, to speak and solve simple mathematical problems. Really a fascinating species. :)
