Hey, did you see NJD’s #120? I thought of you & your bird the second I saw it.

I did. Saw a thing on that bird yesterday and it cracked me up. African Greys are amazing mimics, picking things up at a remarkable speed. Though what it reminded me of was a Double Yellow-Head Amazon I rescued back when. Gorgeous bird but just sat there even though most Amazons are quite playful and gregarious. Did everything I could think of for weeks to get a rise out of him. Then one day my husband was channel surfing and landed on a Mexican channel. The bird lost his mind, hollering in Spanish, laughing, and singing. Oh. Now I get it. Placed him with a lovely Spanish speaking family.
