I could not scan it, re-type it and uploaded the pictures.
During this interview all he wanted to do was kiss the reporter.

Mishka Routledge a three year old African Grey is Southcrest’s latest celebrity after winning the title of “The Best Amateur Talking Parrot” hosted on the best talking parrot website. Mishka will now be the star of an educational film entitled Train Your Parrot To Talk.
Antoinette Routledge is Mishka’s proud guardian. From the first minute of meeting Antoinette, she starts to chatter about Mishka and all the remarkable things he has learnt, showing us where Mishka got his talent from. Antoinette came across the competition on the internet and entered Mishka, sending in a total of 37 video’s of Mishka talking.. The competition was held by a Texas animal behaviour expert, Barbara Heidenreich, 60 parrots participated.
The winner was chosen by being the video most voted for.
Thirty four of Mishka’s video’s had over 100 votes, but is was one video that bagged 140 votes.
Mishka won great prizes,he will be starring in the next parrot training DVD," His prizes include a Habitat Defined tm Avian Cage with Activity Center and 3 Enrichments Pods. As well as toys, bird food, and five copies of the forthcoming Good bird Inc DVD/CDROM, signed by professional animal trainer Barbara Heidenreich.
Mishka is a friendly bird that loves kisses, even from reporters, and enjoys all the attention that Antoinette gives him. He is well disciplined and knows how to use the potty when nature calls.
It takes him about a week to learn new words and a sentence, and he understands exactly what he is saying. When asked questions, pertaining to what he is being taught, he replies correctly.
Antoinette has invented a training method, when teaching Mishka to talk. Obviously this method is fantastic, we are hoping Antoinette will share her secret with all bird guardians.
He really is a clever boy, this was his first competition ever and he won, Antoinette said. Apparently Mishka thinks so too with his comment “Mommy I am a clever boy hey”
Even though Mishka has had his wings clipped, he still loves to pretend he can fly
