African Grey

"Crackers" is our Red tail African Grey. She's a year old and is very entertaining. She is talking more everyday. Her newest phrase is "Oh boy Oh boy Oh boy "! in the Mickey Mouse voice. She can say her name, "Hi Crackers" plus "Good Morning", "How are you?", "I love you". They mimic everything they hear from the sound of running water, to the phone ringing. I thought that was funny (hence the word was) she'll ring if Chris leaves the room thinking he'll come in to answer the phone. (makes me laugh, makes Chris nuts!) then after several rings she'll say "Hello" in every voice she's heard including the TV. She whistles for the dog then calls his name. She's a funny bird~ She plays like a cat. She'll stalk her toys then attacks it.

Here's a joke my step-daughter Jenny sent me~

"A burglar broke into a house one night. He shined his flashlight around, looking for valuables, and when he picked up a CD player to place in his sack, a strange, disembodied voice echoed from the dark saying," Jesus is watching you." He nearly jumped out of his skin, clicked his flashlight out, and froze. When he heard nothing more after a bit, he shook his head, promised himself a vacation after the next big heist, then began searching for more valuables.

Just as he pulled the stereo out so he could disconnect the wire clear as a bell he hears, "Jesus is watching you." Freaked out, he shined his light around frantically, looking for the source of the voice. Finally, in the corner of the room, his flashlight beam came to rest on a parrot. Did you say that? He hissed at the parrot. Yep," the parrot squawked, "I'm just trying to warn you." The burglar relaxed "Warn me, huh? Who in the world are you? " Moses," replied the bird. "Moses?" the burglar laughed. "What kind of people would name a bird Moses?" The parrot then said. "The same kind of people that would name a Rottweiler Jesus."
