Default Re: My African grey (Congo) parrots

Thank you all. A Clutch of eggs and brood of chicks is correct.

It can very in length to teach them to talk. Joe was as indoor pet that had been hand reared. She could say hello, Joe, no, goodbye and a few swear words when I got her. I taught her not to use the swear words.

She learns new words/sounds nearly every month. Mostly food items, but also tickle (head feather stroke), come out (come out of her cage), go in(to go back in the cage.

I taught the words, but the sounds were learnt from hearing them outside or on the television.

She used to do a Scottish accent and also some Scottish words.

Joe then taught Jake and they both taught the babies.

Hopefully they will breed later this year and I can share photos.
