Heres a decent string of Parker talking. His vocabulary is immense but he tends to keep to the same few phrases, particularly "Yummy Yummy Yummy", with more "yummy"s being added each time he says it.

Hes a closet talker, so in the beginning he runs up the cage as soon as my partner runs out of sight.

LOL! I played the video and when Parker wolf whistled, Buddy started wolf whistling back like crazy. Thanks for sharing.

Tomango, the best is when he sings "I love you a bushel and a peck"!

His yummy's are changing somewhat. I've heard him say them in a weaker voice and slightly higher pitched. But half of what he says does indeed sound like an old man. It's so funny!

Shawna, if you want more talking have a look at this http://www.parrotforums.com/eclectus/56553-say-what-how-rude.html

Pixie heard Parker, and when he got to the Yummy's, she flew over from her playstand and said hello :)

You think that's funny Stephen? We saw something funny on TV, and as our laughter subsided, he let out an evil laugh that cracked us up for another two minutes. He certainly doesn't lack for comedic timing!

Camo, they are more likely to hear his screams, which are certainly enough to scare off strangers. It's the most brain rattling sound I've ever heard!!

Venus clears the room with her scream. All three dogs leave the room and I've put ear plugs in when she gets on a rant lol!

Gizmo the other day decided he was excited and would let out a shriek, he just happened to have flown around the house and landed on my shoulder....thanks Gizmo, yes I heard you, my ear is just there:rolleyes:. Pebbles makes a noise like a car alarm or toy laser gun, an interesting noise, but far from pleasant

Their laughs are just so contagious, aren't they? No matter how many times you hear them do it, it's just as funny every time!
