Meet Usef



One of many parrots I often look after, he has a very large vocabulary which doesnt include any swear words, he is very entertaining and I often find myself answering him as if we were really having a conversation
on the last day of my last visit he told me to shut up I had to appologise to the owner as I think he got that from me Could have been sooo much worse though

Do you find you have to watch your language when you're looking after them, Elaine?

Re: Meet Usef

I find them fascinating, they are all clever if you put the time and interaction into them. Usef can coount to 10 but does sometimes miss a few numbers in his excitement to tell him self he is a clever boy. If you put your coat on ifront of him he will say "bye bye, be good now". I must try and record him the next time I am there. The macaws talk aswell but they are not as clear as the greys and baby Toots is begining to talk now too.
I have also looked after two amazons who sang ba ba black sheep in an aberdeen accent

Re: Meet Usef

It wouldn't do for me to have a parrot, it would say all sorts of naughty things.
