Odd things your grey says?

Teko is 10 months old this month.

Hes been practicing a certain word for days. It came out today clear as day - underwear- where in the heck why in the heck would he pick that up LOL!

What silly/odd things do your greys say?

I have an 8 year old female Grey named Bo. I can't think of any silly/odd thing that she says but she has some funny mimics. One of her favorites is imitating me drinking a cup of coffee. She starts off by "slurpping" her coffee, then makes the sound of swallowing, then smacks her "lips," then makes the sound of the coffee mug being placed on the counter. She has been doing this for years and it still makes me laugh.

KoKo, my 15-year old CAG, will give a great big sneeze, make the noise that we do when we pull it back into our nose, say "ahhhh", then say "sorry."

I hate to even tell anyone this but... My husband taught our grey to make a fart sound then she says oops excuse me. I hate him for it but I can't help but laugh when she does it.

HAHA! Cute things they do! I don't drink coffee - so I dont think Teko will pick that up - although a soda can opening he just might LoL!

The sneeze is just to cute.. My quaker does that & says "bless me"

Id love to hear a grey farting -- and its even funnier that she excuses herself HAHAH!

'Scuse me, as they are interupting a conversation or removing your fingers fron their bowl, or just about any time they are in the mood to talk.
Bless you! for any sneeze, real or imagined, followed by foofing the feathers and saying 'shake it off.'
If the door to the cage isn't opened when they think it's time to be out and about in the morning, I hear a beak being slid across the bars of the door, a pause, and then, "Help! HELP! I'm being kept prisoner against my will!"

My 13 yr old CAG says "god d*mmit" when he hears something drop. I have NO idea who he picked that up from

He also calls our 2 cats when he hears a can open up (probably from hearing the cat food cans open up). Even though both of our cats have been gone 2 years now!

ROFL! You need some video of that also! Greys crack me up, the things they either pick up or are taught ;)
