We also have an African Grey. He's sure a lot of fun. His speech is very lifelike, and his sound effects are amazing: beep of the microwave, squeaky door opening, pouring water, other birds, cats meow, coughing. He loves to laugh. I laugh, he laughs, that gets me going and we laugh even more. The phone rings and he says, "Hello, hi guy" and goes on to have a long conversation in a mumbled voice. He picks up words he hears once and often responds appropriately.

All in all, a great bird.
