MJ, the African Grey Parrot, Best Talking Video

What a cutie! I've wanted a parrot since I was a little girl...and I still do, but I travel a lot so I don't think it would be fair to the birdie, but they seem like great pets, you must never get lonely! :)

Not so much as difficult, but emotional maturity is that of a two year old with a 6 or 8 year old genius capacity. Make sense? They're extremely smart, but easily agitated/frustrated/scared/nervous. Good luck. Wish you the best years with your new bird, jbrandona119.

I love his dance/song thing! "da-dada-dada-da-da!"

haha that's awesome. I should be getting a grey soon. it'll be my first large bird. I CAN provide for it but are they dificult birds?

Hi, I read 'MJ's Story' on his website, and him asking "When Momma come back?" brought a tear to my eye.

He sound like a truly wonderful and lovely bird :)

the one with the british/scottish or whatever accent is priceless

i had an african grey he knew the lock combination to his cage so hed get out and walk around the house with our other one

Most greys don't talk before AT least 1 year of age. But he will still learn a lot between up to 1 years old so it's important to keep talking to him even if he doesn't say words back for now.

about $800

How much does one cost?

"Can I have a carrot?" "You want a carrot?" *nods head up and down*. Lol spoiled funny bird!

Very normal. Mine was only whistling at 4 months old too. Give it time. Before long he will be talking up a storm - greys are the most gifted vocally - I'm sure you know that. Just spend time with him. They usually pick up language in context not really by any forced situation or by tricks. They just learn one word at a time.

I have a CAG too. And mine, outside of naps, talks all day, but he isn't a screamer. They can and will imitate loud high pitched things like sirens. If you can't take 2 lovebirds (I have one of those too), I think a grey would drive you crazy.

i have oe too have any trainer tips?Mie only knows how to whistle and cluck hes about 4 months old

Like tweezerjs said, they do require at LOT of attention. We had a grey for a while but between school and work, we couldn't give him the attention he needed and he started plucking. :/ Just make sure you have the time. If you do, it's totally worth it-- they're really friendly and super smart.
