[myparrots1]

hey thats one lovely smart grey. as soon as my youngest grey lucky started watching and listening he started trying to copy everything ziggy was saying and even spelled ziggy lol he dont do nothing i try teach him though just learns off my other birds

[caroleyahoo1965]

I just got another Grey, he/she is 18 weeks now and learning to make sounds. I love for him to listen to Ziggy because I cannot whistle at all and he loves to hear Ziggy whistle! He gets all excited and his eyes dialate, they are so smart and Ziggy is awesome! I got a deal on mine because they were not expecting any babies and there was one egg! I got him for 700.00 and that is one great deal!

[montemike]

Awesome caroleyahoo! :D Ziggy turns 14 in 2 months!

[idahoMW]

Very pretty!

I have a red grey, his red is mostly in his collar and shoulders, but he has a hint of red even in his flight feathers.

[tositwt]

how does 1 african grey cost?? =)

[montemike]

@tositwt

About $800 to $1400. I got Ziggy from a breeder 14 years ago for $900. And I wouldn't sell him for a million :)

I have a question,

Do parrots accualy know what they are saying?

[montemike]

Yes, I believe they do. Dr. Irene Pepperberg has been doing parrot studies for over 20 years, look her up.

[gotfaith1989]

Oh my goodness! He is quite amazing! Usually they aren't that clear and precise, but Ziggy is amazing! I'm uber impressed! You've spent a lot of time with him.

[mixtressariadne]

He's so regal! Don't listen to people being jerks about the cage, he's fine and obviously happy and loves you. I'm getting my first Grey tonight!!!!!!!!!!!!! Can't wait.

[montemike]

Ziggy just got a clean bill of health from the doctor. Thanks, I will take care of him and spoil him as usual.

[montemike]

It's 24"x24"x42", he likes it and has been in it since he was 3 months old. I was thinking of getting him a bigger stainless steel one, perhaps in the future.

[tricia280]

What a fantastic grey you have and glad to see that he is treated with the love and care that parrots deserves, well done +

[Tanja060100]

[joenstacey]

What a smart bird! I love how he skips a few numbers when he's counting. Seems like selective hearing. LOL

[bigbadbarb]

He is so cute!!

[AnimalSites]

Ziggy is great. Thanks for posting. My African Grey Bibi really enjoys listening. She is just over a year old and has just started learning to count. Please post more.
