I love writing poetry and love to paint in oils and watercolours. I have won several competitions with my poetry and paintings and 3D Henna Art using Glitter and Jewels to creat Art -which l do as a hobby.
The most rewarding and loving thing that l like to do is spend time with my Parrot and have accomplised in knowing all that he is capable of doing. I now
consider myself as his personal trainer and knowing his abilities into knowing how his small walnut sized brain works.....Similar to that of my Computer. I confirm that l never used any form of Body Language to indicate to GR to turn his head left or right to give me the right answers.....and l also confirm that l have never once used any treats to get him to do things for me and none of my cards are ever marked to cheat in anyways.

He has demonstrated using his Visual Memory and knows about 150 items.
GR not only knows his main colours but also knows the difference between dark and light pencil to Gold to Silver and can pick out the orange pencil with black spots.
He is able to pick numbers that l ask him to give (numbers from 1 to 100).
He uses Episodic Memory to store (Large Numbers of Files which l call Tasks) and like a computer he can work from one File to another.
He uses Semantic Memory - example he touch our dogs photo in various ways by his name, or the colour.
Acts upon future events like he knows when the Baby is about to climb the stairs and stops him by saying 'No'
He has demonstrated that his memory is Autobiographical (he knew Joe from five years back...recently l showed him Joe's photo and two other photos...l asked him to show me Joe and he touched his photo.(that was without training)
GR has demonstrated that he can encode well...Examples are the videos uploaded on my channel of GR doing the English Althabet.
'The Theory is that if you don't understand something, you cannot encode it well - simple word in foreigh language can be hard to recall' (GR has demonstrated that he can encode it well)

He also uses body language in a way that when he see a pencil that is when he wants a scratch he would put his head down for a scratch. He knows what he likes and do not like.
