I would like to share this tale about Billy an African grey of my neighbours when I was child. Billy was taught to say hello but he made up his own sentences after that. An elderly relative lived with my neighbours named Ethel who was visited regularly by a vicar and Billy used to fart and make ripping trousers noise whenever the vicar went to sit down. One morning the vicar arrived and told him to go and not come back Ethel's dead ! Which she was but nobody had told Billy lol.
When he was covered up he shouted " oh God let me out I'm dying" and made bad breathing noises.
He kept saying " oh no I've come back as a parrot" .He also got cross at items on the news!
In the summer he would be in the garden and he imitated every ice cream van sound. When people went out to buy he laughed and laughed and told them they were stupid , don't you know I' m a parrot ? They would leave muttering and five minutes later they returned for a different ice cream van. Billy loved that game . He also had fun with a dog which he would call and got the dog to sit and roll over, then he cursed the dog for being stupid answering a.parrot.
When he used to curse about the govt. he really sounded like an irritated old man!.
I've never forgotten Billy and was heartbroken when they moved away.
I wish I could find one like Billy
