    Wow he talks so clear! A very long time ago I found a African grey I was cleaning a apartment he was hanging on a screen with a cat stalking him screaming up a storm, At the time I had no clue what kind of bird it was all I knew he was large and I remember thinking that's not a normal wild bird wtf is it! Lol
    I went out he came right to me and said , hi hi hi hi, I picked him up looking all around like who would leave him alone outside? I ended up taking him home and noticed one of his nose holes was all crusty and he kept saying, " time for medicine". I took him to the vet and the vet informed me of some kind of fungus in his nose hole and he was probably on a med for the problem they was nice enough to check him for free and loan me a big cage until I could try to find the owner even though I wanted to keep him I knew someone is looking for their baby missing. I put a add in the paper and must of got 200 different calls with people claiming it's theirs giving his fake name but the one question I would ask was, Tell me something about him? They would go on to say he's grey🤔. YEAH duh! One day about a month later a woman and man calls I'm thinking here we go again by this time I'm falling in love with him I was super scared in the beginning he would bit me ear off or finger he didn't like being in the cage and I was scared the first week to let him out but he would whistle and call me pretty baby I broke down and would let him out all day he never pooed on anything he was so smart only pooed on the cage bottom, So yeah this coupled called the first thing they said is his name is ziko and some one had went in their back yard and stold 3 of their African greys they had a large outdoor cage and would let the bird's out in it a few hours a day some one broke the lock opened the cage took three birds two they got back but her baby ziko had been missing a month and they put out a five hundred dollar reward she said she's had him since he's a baby and he's sick and needs meds for his beak, I knew it was her bird none had told me about his beak having the fungus. I told he yes it's him and he is fine I took him to the vet and still have him on treatment. When she walked through my door that bird went crazy screaming went right to her I knew it was her baby. She offered me the reward I refused she later had called the vet i went to found out what I spent on food and his medication and sent me a check along with her address to visit him if I wanted. Till today that lady is my best friend that was 24 years ago and she still has bird's, ziko died about 14 year later the issues with his nose hole would always come back. Well that's my bird story sorry if it's a long post but 💯% the truth 😁

Sometimes she will say "want a grape" and she can recognize certain foods like apples, peppers, carrots, and celery and calls it out when she sees them! If I ask her "what does the dog say" she will answer "RRUFF, RRUFF"!

    Our African Grey female bird named Bella (named from Twilight Saga) talks away every day. She even has her little daily routine speeches practicing her vocabularies, from singing to sound effects! She'll mimic ANYTHING she hears! lol ^^
    And when we first bought her while at the owner's place she was already making those water drop sounds, and she was only 10 weeks old when we got her! And she LOVES her head scratched. She'd put her head down for us to pet her. She's such a sweetheart. :)

    Our African Gray, could have been this one's twin. responded to anyone in our family who gave him attention. For my dad he Elmer, would do anything lie down, roll over, kiss, dance, almost laugh. I met a family at the mall they had their Cockatiel with them, they told me they take him, Chico, wherever they go. Chico was so friendly, climbed right onto my finger. I never knew anyone who took their bird wherever they went. It was fun and Chico seemed as happy as can be. Wings clipped of course.

    If I had an African Grey it would say "Toast" more than yours does. In many more inflections. TOOOAASSST. I do appreciate that Poppy knows "toast".

    Yes I bought Poppy before she was even weaned and bonded with her in the bird store for over a month before taking her home. She was hand raised and fed by an experienced breeder. They wont let you take your bird home before it is fully weaned.
