I am not going to try to keep this updated. She adds new words on average 1 word every 2 days or so.
What I find most interesting is she is putting words together that we have never said.
Best example of this I heard just this morning.
Bella learned the phrase "Michael work" from my YNA Bingo. This morning Bella said "Bingo Work". Anyone else out there notice this with there bird? Is this a learning process, a way to learn meaning behind the words?


Underlined things are thing we have never said but she put together on her own.

African Grey Timneh
I feel they have some idea of what they are saying maybe not exactly but an idea. Like they can use the word in a sentence but can't give you the definition. Timneh never says good morning at night. Never says hello when I'm leaving, says What are you doing when she seems genuinely curious about what i'm doing. Loves to mock me when I'm eating and make really loud lip smacking noises like sounds good can I have some. They are amazing Greys indeed. My best so far is Timneh said good morning and I said hey there dude and she says back Hey there big fella I almost died laughing. I'm still a very new parront and am floored by some of Timnehs reactions, like speechless, did that really happen.
