Thanks for sharing this! It always astounds me especially when they say things at the appropriate times. My friends have a talking parakeet as well. Says all sorts of things, "welcome home" when they come in the door; "dinner ready yet" or "there yet" on long trips (yes they travel with him), and just to name a few others. When my folks were there, he picked up on my Mom always saying, "Oh really." He is so funny and delightful to be around. My parakeets always just had specific chirps.
