Nicky is the smartest talker I've ever encountered. He will take words from different phrases he knows, and put them together for a sentence that is appropriate.
He also rambles on with nonsense, but he gets things right far more often than chance would dictate.
He has always said, "Hello Gregory," and "Goodnight Gregory," but today he started saying "Gregory wants to come out!" when I was ignoring his usual "Nicky wants to come out." He then told me, "Gregory is not here, but Nicky wants to come out."
I have no idea if Gregory was a bird or a person. The woman who owned Nicky also owned my Tanya, and Shane, a green wing macaw who was adopted by our facility manager. She could have had more birds. There was either a person or an animal named "Rory," too.
