MJ, the African Grey Parrot, Transcript 2

Since a few viewers have said they find it hard to tell what MJ is saying, I decided to make some videos with transcripts. MJ talks just as well as a person, but my camera isn't the best quality, lol. Enjoy!

[SeventhEve]

Has he learned to construct his own sentences? Did he piece together "I wanna carrot" himself from other words you taught him?

[kristyu2bullet]

My mom taught him to say, "I wanna carrot," but he does make up his own sentences & even his own words for things. Some are quite amusing. ;D

[7dogbutt]

I am in love with your bird!!!!!(rob's ma)

[kristyu2bullet]

Thanks! You'll have to come over & meet him, one day. :D

[piratekit]

Does he really like carrots? He seems to repeat that alot. My mom's gray LOVES cheese, but it's the one word he won't/can't say. But if you say the word, he gets all flustered and does the excited dance if he knows you're bringing it.

I can't believe how well he speaks without making all the extra 'noises' grays seemed to pick up on. I've mostly seen them say a phrase, then lapse into whistling or clicking before saying another one. Nicely trained!.

Thank you. I know what you mean about them not being able to say some words & getting frustrated about it. My grandma's 1st grey could say all our names except "Anthony." He'd say, "Antha, Antha..." and then get mad & make a gibberish noise, lol.

please post some more MJ videos! i have been watching them since before i got my grey, Brian. Brian is now almost 8 months old and just finding his voice. he says "oooooo" like MJ, i thought it was so cute i had to teach him it.

I love his "wanna carrot?" sequence, so clever. he's one of the best talking greys on youtube, lets see some more video's please =)

Ye the more u socialize with them, the more they talk....specially if it's a male ..does everyone agree ? I have Parrots & Budgies & they all talk to me....one of them likes ringing a bell he's got., everytime i ask him to ring it....they're so clever

[maribel8157]

He's the greatest...how can anyone say they don't understand what he's saying ...he's sooooooooooooo clear :) Just LOVE IT ! lol lol

[jenzzify]

How old is MJ? I can tell you've spent alot of quality time with him, it's touching. I hope my new babie grows up to speak as well as MJ, if not i'll love it just the same. Thank u 4 taking the time to record and post these videos, there are VERY cute & inspiring. Not 2 mention set a GREAT example for all of us AG parents (and prospective) on proper care and the rewards of...... I'm goin to see my new babie for the 1st time on Sunday <3
