True. We had several. A grey red tail parrot that could impersonate quite a few people and would go camping with us and would shreak 'hold on' when the car went through a sharp bent, a blue budgie that could talk a little say it's name and how sweet it was, ask for kisses and cookies and was very cheeky hovering over ashtrays and visitors that it knew where a tiny bit frightened of it. Loved to hang from your head to see it's reflection in your eyes and would join in when playing cards tossing cards from the center pile or pulling them from your hands. And a lovebird couple that had a love hate relationship with the yorkie. The female would deliberately either go up to the dog or humans to bite your finger while the male was a bit shy. Also had green yellow budgies. No pets anymore though.
The next poster has been to a birthday party this week.
