So between an African Grey and a Blue and Gold Macaw which would you think would imitate a crying baby first?
If you think African Grey we thought the same thing.....
Ell (formerly Elvis) has started to teach herself to cry like a baby. our little guy gets fussy in the evening and we're always sitting in the living room where the birds are. it first started that when Charlie (our new born) would start crying Ell would yell to try and get our attention at the same time (since when the baby cries he gets attention). Well since yelling didnt work last night she started to imitate his crying sound.. For a macaw she actually did a good job. but thankfully she is not as skilled as Ziggy our grey is... though i'm sure it'll come some day since she did pick up our black lab's howl (which is hilarious to hear a bird howling)
Just wanted to share our amusement

I also would have guessed the AG would have been the first to imitate your baby. CONGRATS on your Charlie!!!
