Does yours talk a lot ? |
Our parrot is a cockatoo, considered to be one of the more intelligent parrots. She talks all the time, particularly to the dogs. She imitates how they bark, especially at meal times. Her speech is so advanced that she's even got the intonation right, including me yelling at the kids.

She does not just imitate, she says the appropriate things at the right times. If I put my coat on, she says "bye, see ya later." She tells us when she is tired and says goodnight when we cover her cage. When you walk in the room she says hello, and if the person doesn't answer, she'll say "say hello." One of my friends dropped by to pick something up and she was in a rush so just walked by our parrot, who was so mad at being ignored that she said to her "where are your manners?" (something she has likely heard us ask one of the kids). My friend turned to me as she thought I had said it.
She loves all noisy machines, like the vacuum and the drill and she also does sounds....like the sewing machine and the funniest is her imitation of my Laura Star (steam ironing system) though I could without her spraying her water all over the place.
