I met a parrot the other day, his name was cuervo. "hello, I'm cuervo, nice to meet ya"


I would have bought him, except he was $1200

Hot girls kept dropping bird seed off my porch. It was then that I realized buying a parrot was a smart move.

African Gray Parrot's are among the smartest birds, and I have seen others that are able to solve problems and puzzles. If I could afford one, I would get one.

my friend has a parrot that just repeats what you keep saying...

my friend's name is hubert and it kept on saying "huuuuubert.....huuuuuuubert....huuuuuuubert" repeatedly..it was hilarious.

It also started talking in chinese...but it sounded more like a voice recorder and repeating what others say in a similar tone of voice

regular birds can do that given enough motivation and practice

example: a puzzle birdfeed left in back yard.
