I have a blue pacific Parrotlet and he's FEISTY!He's only 7 months old but already learning how to talk in that roboticvoice of his. He loves coming out for playtime and if given the choice,probably would hang out on my shoulder all day.

I also Have an African grey about 5yrs old. Heis shy with strangers ,somestimes bites if he doesn't get what he wantsand has a huge vocabulary including most of the rabbits and other petsnames. He imitates my voice which is high and my husbands low voice .He loves to sit on a perch in the room with the rabbits and watch themand call their names. They are used to him and have no fear of him atall.

He likes to say the name Jacques in an exaggerated french way (like Iused to) and it sometimes makes me sad because jacques died last summerand when Neil says the name it reminds me of him.
When I get up in the morning Neil (who is in a covered cage)immediately begins to call my name ..."Maureen, Maureen, maureen,Maureen, maureen.."" until I get him up. He sometimes is so needy hedrives me crazy.
