My African Grey parrot

[Cammy]

Yes, birds can be amazingly intelligent and intuitive. Mine has the intelligence and vocabulary of a two year old human child. Unfortunately she also acts like a two year old and is quite a brat, but that goes with the territory. Someone once told me "If you don't want to take care of a two year old the rest of your life then don't get a parrot". Pekoe, my parrot, is about 25 years old and can live to 80 years, but mentally will always be two years old. It still amazes me some of the things she says. It is quite evident that she understands fully the words she is using in any given situation. She even gives my husband the Bronx cheer whenever he walks by the cage because she doesn't like him. I think it is funny, but he is not amused at all. What can I say - she is a typical bratty two year old.
