All of our parrots "talk" to some degree saying "hello" "pretty bird" etc.....but let me tell you that Sally the Quaker Parrot is SMART! She not only repeats words we say im tell you that she is having conversation! She says 'Bye bye" when anyone put on a coat...if anyone is eatting something "want a bite". If you tell her no she says over and over "that looks good!" Do you like that? mmmmm i want a bite"......if its parrot friendly and you give her a bite shes all "mmmm this is gooood" She tells us she is going to take a bath before she does it.....If someone is upset she asks "why you crying?"

She laughs at funny things on TV. I mean she has different degrees of laughing from a giggle to a sinister evil cackle. She barks at the cat when it is too close to her. Its almost freaky how much she knows what she is saying and not just mimmicking us LOL There are dozens of other things she says and does. I have never owned a large parrot like a Macaw but of any bird I have ever had she is hands down the most intelligent!
 
i know what you mean, when someone gets home or walks in the room cooper says hello/hi. when he is either tired or its bedtime he says goodnight. and good morning when i uncover him. he doesnt laugh at the tv, but he laughs at US. just like a person. if he hears us laughing, he starts. also, if someone falls or something similar he starts laughing...haha. and not with talking but when he wants water, he hangs on the wall above his water dish, makes dripping noises and flails his head around. he does the same thing for food but above the food dish and sort of mimics the sound pellets make when they hit the bowl. it is amazing how smart they are. i love watching cooper learn new things.
 
My Quaker is very new but the other day I heard barking and our neighbor doesnt like dogs so he complains when he hears barking so i walked outside to tell the dogs to be quiet. They were all asleep. Then i heard it again and i looked to the side and it was Emory lol. She sounded just like them!
