My parents used to have a grey - never mimicked human speech, but it learned that my mom would come running when the phone rang, so it would mimick the phone ring sound and other household noises

Cressi: Humans as pets are complicated, but some are great. This one here can scratch my head like no other. She talks a lot, but that's OK. Most of her species do, it is perfectly normal. Sometimes she suddenly makes weird sounds and scary moves, but that's not dangerous at all. 😁

Who else thinks Cressi is so cute.

Jamie: "Cressi prefers her love and attention from Dave"
"Me too Cressi, me too"- lol that part of the video killed me. 😂

She acts like a old lady who just can't be bothered, seems she knows better.Thank you for the informative video.

it’s so cute to see her be absolutely unbothered by everything. my budgie spooks at the randomest things, including suddenly seeing her reflection when she’s falling asleep lol

Hi I'm a veteran and I had an African gray parrot named Buddy since he was a baby. Buddy died 2 months ago. He was my partner he made me feel happy till the day he died in my hands. I loved him very much it's nice to see your birds on your channel. THANKS

"I don't think we'd get another African Grey after Cressi."
Cressi: looks at you "Oh really?"
I think she's quite pleased with herself! 😂

I think your African Gray really loves you.☺

I got my Grey, Pepper, in my 40's, planning on her being my nursing home companion (my genes will have me living well into my 90's - 100 years) I have always had dogs, birds and small parrots - a Senegal and a love bird. All wonderful pets, but my Grey is as sweet as they come except her hormones, which makes me a loyal follower of your channel - she and I are so much more content without all that business going on. She is suspicious of strangers, meaning she stops talking and stares at them. But will go to anyone if I introduce them to her. She is quite quiet and  doesn't yell except when she is mimicking me. Her weird phobias still occur out of the blue, but she is easily comforted. She has never drawn blood (something you can't say about a broody love bird) and only yells and mouth me when I care for her beak and nails. She is pushing 30, content with the routines. Love to ride in the car, hates walks - too many people with hats, and loves TV time for "tickles". Her favorite word. I can't imagine life without my Grey. I felt like I lucked out with her, but my husband used to point out that I thought all of our pets were perfect, when in truth, they were not. My good friend gave me a plaque with Mark Twain's best observation: "She was not what you would call refined. Nor was she unrefined. She was the kind of person who keeps a parrot."

My African Grey has turned 44 years old, but he has never been keen on talking! I think it really differs per bird. However, he could whistle all day long!

"Jamie the mood-killer" haha

When I first got into birds I really wanted an African Grey. But now I honestly not to into the idea.  They are a bird that I’m not quite ready for. I did so much research on them, but that doesn’t mean I’m ready.

Oh I miss Bandit so much ❤️

Greys are my favorite parrot. For the most part, they have a calmer, more studious nature than other parrots. Slower and more deliberate as they study you carefully...

I was so surprised how quiet she is! She didn’t do any bird babbling at all that I noticed. She really was chill for this video. I thought it was adorable how she was loving all the scritches you were giving her while talking. 💘🦜

My favorite thing about my African grey is she talks and argues with her self and how tame they are

"Is Cressi cuddly?" - "Not so much with me." Next clip: Cressi being cuddly nonstop :D

I inherited the African Grey that my parents got when I was 2. He was a bit of an asshole when I was growing up. After my dad retired he worked with him a lot and his mood is much better. When I took him to the vet when I got him and they said he was the most well behaved Grey they'd ever seen!

I have honestly nothing to comment....






Sending love💕💕
