Guest guest Posted October 24, 2004 Report Share Posted October 24, 2004 ahahahaha. I used to be able to tell all mine apart. One speaks Vietnamese/English, and all the others that speak, only speak English. One day, they were all playing musical cages, in the dining room, where they apparently had all switched who was on which cage. They thought they'd see if I could figure out who was who, so they started acting & sounding like the other bird. Now, since they are all african greys, it is easy to pull this off. One would talk in the other ones voice which thorougly had me confused. The one I thought was the nice one, was the one who liked to nip? rofl. They are real practical jokers, for sure. I think that night one actually bit me during all the confusion. Three of mine almost look identical, while two look different in size or coloring. lol SandyE~Houston Re: Re: coughing/ was catarrh >>>My parrots also mimic coughs that my hubby and son had when they were >>>sick!

Guest guest Posted October 24, 2004 Report Share Posted October 24, 2004 Sandy - that is too hilarious. Aren't they soooo smart? I forgot to mention that my Grey hears me try to get up, and I'm saying 'ow' from all the aches and pains, so now she goes 'ow...ow...ow'. I'm anxiously awaiting the day the Armour will get rid of all the aches, hoarseness, etc., etc. .....joan ...............One day, they were all playing musical cages, in the dining room, where they apparently had all switched who was on which cage.

Guest guest Posted October 25, 2004 Report Share Posted October 25, 2004 Joan, I will be very happy to hear that you've gotten in your Armour and that it's working great for you. That is funny that you mention the 'ow' as I have one who also did that. She will also say something in my hubby's exact voice, and he hates her, and she dislikes him just about as much! Funny that she would pick his voice to mimic! What a riot! He has a little quaker parrot who thinks her duty is to be on him 24/7 rearranging everything in his shirt pockets. lol. My grey, Coolie will say (in Jimmy's voice) Bonnie! Hush! And you'd swear it was him saying it. I can't tell the difference in either of them! hahahaha. I love it! My Mom makes that same ow every morning when she gets up out of bed too. I don't think there are many places in her body that does not hurt on arising. (I also had this happen, but Armour seems to have taken all that away for me). I can call her at night, and before she tried Armour, she would literally cry out in pain, which just about kills me. I can't stand to hear somebody in pain like that, and she hollers very loudly I might add. It echo's over the phone, and really bothers my son when he calls her and it happens. I'm still going to buy her the Armour, although I have no doubt if she'll take it. If she gets to hurting too badly, she will, if not, she'll send it back to me. I can't make her take it, but I know for her, it's helped almost all her aches and pains subside, so maybe that will be the thing that keeps her taking it one more day. Let us know when you get it and try it. SandyE~Houston Re: Re: coughing/ was catarrh Sandy - that is too hilarious. Aren't they soooo smart?
