Yeah, they can learn some pretty great things to say/mimic.

Conures (which is what I had) don't start speaking until about 2 y/o, and can only build a vocabulary of maybe 200 words. Africans can build near 2000.

I know I'm crude. I wanted Louie to be crude, too. The first words I wanted him to say, crudely as can be, is:

"Wanna F**K?

I'm all about shock, and nothing would shock ppl more than a bird that kisses a girl on the lips (which he would do when you asked for a kiss)  and then says the only 2 words he knows.

Talk about a crowd-pleaser!
