Random Complete sentances?

Does anyone else grey do this?
We have a rescue CAG that was 8 or 9 when we got him this summer. We also have a two YO CAG. Anyhow, this bird will sometimes blurt out complete sentences in a human voice usually far away sounding but you may only ever hear it once. Most times Ive never ever heard the same sentence again. The first time I heard it was when I uncovered him. " I DID NOT hit that G@D Dam**d Bird!"
Ouch , that was sad.
There have been others and so spooky to hear...
I have had some trouble with an injury to one of my dogs tails I have been treating. I went outside to do chores and hubby said the bird said " That poor dogs tail looks awful".
Now these are really spooky, really human, really clear complete sentences that we may never hear again.
Does anyone else's grey do this? Or do I just have a bird I should rename "Ghost".

At the aquarium store I worked at for many years they kept a yellow naped amazon that belonged to the owners son who had died as a teen.The bird would often call out the boys full name followed by "get down here this instant" or "clean this room!" It was pretty heartbreaking.Since he was kept alongside tropical fish he would also say "Ooh that's a pretty one!"

That is spooky. The weird part is he may never say it again. Hubby said it was so my voice that he had to sit up and look around the room because he was sure I was outside. And its not real often like less than once a week.
