We've got a African Grey who is almost 4 now (we've had him since he was 4 months old)
He is really something, vocabulary of about 150 phrases
He and my 3 year young son Sebastian having conversations are very funny

Hugo (the grey) see food and says "Food'
"Hey who let the bird out"
"Where's Sebastian?, where's the little boy?"

and the reason he is not an office bird any more is because he picked up
"Fucking Bullshit" (wonder where he learned that phrase)

Hugo's favorite football team is the Raven's (too bad he doesn't get to say "Touchdown Ravens" often)

he tells our other bird (Bogart who is an Amazon) to "Be Quiet" when he start squawking

the things Hugo says in context are really amazing
He will tell you "goodnight, I love you" when the lights go out and will tell Sebastian to "go to sleep"

Usually grey's are not affectionate and can be nippy but Hugo isn't bad at all even though he has his moments
