Ah, both mine were African greys! Sadly, I placed them a few years ago (with a very reputable rescue group). Because of my back and neck problems with stenosis/arthritis, I was no longer able to clean the huge cages like I could and felt rehoming them was best. I miss how funny and entertaining they were! Yes, they both had huge vocabularies - I used to write it all down, but finally quit trying to keep up.

@wisco50, yes, I wrote down all my parrots' words and phrases too. Like you, I eventually had to rehome them to a wonderful home because of my health issues. The night before Touga was to leave, my friend came over and sat next to him as he sat on his little table/perch. She explained to him how he had had a wonderful life with me, and was so well loved and cared for, but now mummy had to give him to another loving family. Touga listened carefully to the long story, and quietly and sadly said, "OK". I'm sure he understood her every word. I've never sobbed so hard, the morning of his departure. Ah, our wonderful pets.
