Ilove tongo,he was a factor in the next parrot I purchased (cag). I am delighted with my sidney, she is 2 now and rules the roost, she loves bossing me and my husband and all of our pets around.
wow i just finished watching all your videos you must be good bird trainers i have 4 cockatiels tht will repli 2 me if i whistle to them but thts about it lol
I have a grey her name is Nila i think she is about 4yrs old. i love these videos we are going to have to get a camcorder so we can video tape too. she knows alot of sounds and can sing part of the andy griffitth song. i wish she had a little more personality thou. maybe with a little work she misses my son. that was who she bonded with the most
Just keep working with her. She will come around. Tongo hated us when we first got him. He was re-homed from a pretty abusive environment. He did not even want to deal with us. After much love and patience he learned to love and trust us and he showed us his wonderful personality.
he is so awesome! i have been watching your videos! did you teach him to say the word bird in places? i have a grey, he is a congo at 6 years old, he talks well too but doesnt sing, which is surprising cuz i sing well. i have a dbyh amazon that sings, and bg macaw and a gw macaw. i just got a new dvd camcorder so im gonna start recording too. thanks for the laughs!! nikki
Tongo has a huge ego, lol. He hears songs and switches them up to be about him with the exception of the Bingo song. I changed the words to teach him to spell his name. Keeps singing to your Grey, I am sure that he will pick something up.
@prezli The fact that he changes the pronouns in songs means that he understands the context of the sentence and rudementary grammar. This bird has impressive cognitive skills.

Thankyou! Don't forget to vote for him in The Pet Shop's Most Outrageous Bird Contest. The information is at the top right hand corner in the Director's Video information. Thanks, Debbi
We will be adding more of videos soon. I remember when we first got Tongo we would look all the time for parrots for Tongo to watch but there was no youtube. It is so fun to share Tongo and to watch other Greys :-)
The videos of Tongo are actually from 2 sessions we did with him and then we choppedd them up into snippets so we could explain them properly. Otherwise he talks and sings constantly.
wow, I love this bird! what a genius! i love how you can hear things his owner says to him that he repeats. i used to have a cockatiel, and he would imitate the microwave beeps and doorbell. aren't birds the best?
