Perjo - Female CAG hatch Nov 2015
Perjo last week said “you’re so tall”. I about crapped my pants. I’ve never said this to her but have used this phrase a couple years ago in phone conversations describing a situation to someone.
Now she says it ten times a day of course.

that's really neat. And Funny@ They are amazing!! And for sure he loved your surprise, so he keeps saying it!

I got Neptune at 7 weeks, a few months later when he started talking he said I want a cookie !! In a little kids voice, I had never saud that, but the breeder has a 5 yr old son who did! And he said a Spanish phrase .

Umbrella Cockatoo- 15? years old..I think?
Noodles says "I lost my way" and talks about an obscure town that she has never lived in (or visited) that is located about an hour from me---but the weird thing is, she came to me talking about this town, and before I adopted her, all of her homes were about 5-6 hours from the town she talks about lol! Every SINGLE time, " "town name...I lost my way". She says this probably every other day at some point...also always talks about a baby and "the store" in the same rant about losing her way in the obscure town. Her most recent owner (before me) had no connections to the town either, but couldn't recall Noodles talking about it--so it's even weirder lol! I never talked about it, when Noodles first started saying it, I was living in a totally different state with her...6 hours away, and so there was no way she would have heard it on the radio or from me!

Bella on very rare occasions says H-E-L-P in a very low pitch scratched out way .
It must be something she learned from her original owner.

I can't remember the last time my YNA came out with something old and forgotten.

We live in the backwash days of the past! Julio will come-up with any number of statements or words that we have never heard him say before.

In November, we where headed for the cabin and Julio elected to say 'HI' in at least twelve variations of tone and voices and then repeated it several times...

We never know what he will say... Aaaa, life on the edge! :D

Yoda, Green Cheek Conure - Trigger, Congo African Grey
I made a joke once about how Trigger was trying to get our attention and I said "Look at me! Look at me!" I don't think I said it more than once.

A week or so later he said "Look at me! Look at me!" and of course we did and he got lots of attention as we laughed... now it's his favorite thing to say... because it works. LOL!

African gray, 'Toby'.
RIP Max and Bugsie (white capped pionus).
My bird's first six months, were spent in my fiance's home. Learned stuff from everyone there, including names. Then after we got married, the in laws only visited occasionally, and so he rarely heard them. It's now 30 years later; and last week he starts whistling like my (now dead for 15 years) father in law used to, and calling the grandson to come downstairs for dinner. He learned the F*** word from brother in law while we were on our honeymoon, and every half a dozen years he will come out with that, in BIL's voice.
