This thread will be our reference for all the african grey's (congo or timneh) who own us.

If you are owned by an african grey(s), post here with his/her/their name(s), age(s), your favorite photo(s), and any other interesting information you'd like to share!

Ollie Grace is 2.5 years old, and the love of my life!

She loves to fly, eat almonds, attack toes, give kisses, ride in the car, and chatter all day. She also loves her momma!

She hates baths, foods I cook specially for her, the vet, and her harness.

Some of her most overused phrases, "Step up, that's NAUGHTY!, You's a good girl, HI!, Wanna nut, and Whatcha doin??". She is an expert at sound mimicry.

My sweet Gipper passed away last year. He was my best friend. He would call me Sweet Girl (my dad called me that) unless he was angry with me and then it was baaad girrrl. He would say There you are! each time I entered the room. He could and did say anything he chose to, which was alot! I miss him so much. Ruby, silly macaw Ruby, has been a big help. Still I cry when I see a grey. I called him my proper English gentleman and Ruby is trailer trash!

Boca is about eight years old. (don't know for sure)
He is a re-home who came from a home where he was ignored other than to be fed once in a while.
Boca has a vocabulary of at least 87 words and 20 phrases. (at last count)
He loves me, hates my husband.

Most of you know the story of how I inherited Libby.
Dying friend.
Libby is about 20 years old. She loves my husband and hates me.
She loves Gini's Birdiebread.

Sweet Boca! Precious Libby! My Gipper also HATED my husband and lived to get him out of our nest!!

Now I know we have more Grey's on PC than this.
Where are you Grey's?

I'm trying to teach him "Tell me about it, stud"...you know, the famous line in "Grease"...so far he says "Tell me about it, SSSSS"
5~26~07
He said "Tell me about it, Stud" perfectly. He doesn't always say it perfectly, but most of the time he does.

He's also saying different variations of the phrases in the first group. Like "Whatcha doin boy?" or "Whatcha doin Harrison?" He beeps like the microwave, makes belching and farting sounds, whines like the dog, wolf whistles, and he also kinda mumbles in my husbands voice...I'll say "what did you say?" to my husband...and he didn't say anything at all...it was Harrison.

Since we've found out that Harrison is female, we've been talking to her as such. She's learned a few new phrases...

Pretty Girl
Good Girl
Wanna Come out and Play?
She's also barking like our dog...she talks to the dog but I can't understand her...she says "blah blah...Sandy!!" (the dog's name)

I had a sneezing episode yesterday and after each sneeze, my husband said "bless you"...well, this morning, Harrison made a sneezing sound and said "bless you" right after. ha.
