Earl

This is Earl, my African Grey (also a rescue). He is the one who a few have asked about. Yes, he is the one that asks to go to bed at 9.00p.m. so that I have to leave the chat room.

You're on a roll now Lins! :1968:

What a lovely parrot.

My friend used to have a parrot and it was like a watchdog over her kids, because if Jackie was in the kitchen and the kids were in the lounge playing and they started to get up to mischief, the parrot would say in a loud voice " Oh yes and what do you two think you're doing" !!

She'd hear him and come in to see what they were up to.

Then it would shout at the top of it's voice " BENJI" and Jackie's dog would come running, thinking it was her that had called him !

One evening I was round hers and the parrot kept chipping in with the conversation, eventually Jackie said to him, "if you don't keep quiet, I'm going to put your cover on you".

He was quiet for a bit and then resumed butting in, so she put his cover on him, then after a minute or two, I looked up and started laughing, because there was a small hole in this cover and the parrot had found it and not to be outdone, was peering through it with one eye.

It's not that funny now, but at the time it was.

Sick as a proverbial parrot Lins.
So many parros are totally off their heads, aggressive and in very sorry states (plucked feathers).

Cracking bird and in very good condition.

Regards

Dave

My wifes relatives had a talking Mynna bird.
It could do the police siren and the mother shouting her daughter out of bed(SHIR-LEY) amomgst other things.
It also leant to imitate the phone ringing and caused caos?.
They tried changing Phones but he learnt each one.
They ended up with a flashing light system. :1966:

Regarding the phone, Earl picked up the ring tone so well that I had to change the phone. Fortunately, he hasn't imitated the new one but still imitates the old one and then has a conversation with himself. It goes something like this:
ring, ring, ring, "yes, hello, what you doing, okey dokey, see you later, bye".
Poor Molly keeps being asked if she wants to wee wee, so she gets up and goes to the back door and then tells her to get in her basket. I could go on. Fortunately, he doesn't swear, he just makes me do that when he calls me a reptile. I could fill 2 A4 size sheets of paper with some of the things he says. The most annoying one is the Crazy Frog tune that he picked up off the telly. Drives me mad. :2019: :1941:
