People steal African Greys and other large parrots all the time down here in Florida, they are pretty expensive.

A friend of mine was given an African Grey and a Sulphur Crested Cockatoo.

The Grey was really smart. The Cockatoo, named Gil, was really noisy.

My friend would get tired of Gil's constant squawking and would yell "Shut Up, Gil!".

It wasn't long until every time that Gil squawked the African Grey would tell him to shut up, and do it in my friend's voice.
