"Neo" the African Grey talking up a storm - Best parrot talking video ever plus he whistles Mozart

Meet Neo. He just turned 3 in June 2014 and loves to show off his talking skills.

[@donnapatton5914]

To the few who r just being rude and how your bird is bettet. WHERE IS YOUR VIDEO... didn't your mom ever teach if u don't have something to say to shut up...

Wow I can’t believe people will say harsh things about this video, which is sad. Your African Grey is outstanding and absolutely funny. I am searching for me a African Grey as I speak. I’m just doing a lot of research right now. I have the money and the cage and stuff just need my African Grey, and now seeing this I think I’m ready for my new family member

Sara Cobello - You mean a Timneh African Gray, it is still an African Gray, it is just the type that comes from Liberia instead of Congo. The Timneh is a smaller variant, has darker gray feathers and the tail is burgundy/maroon and the beak is light colored on top. For short, Neo is a CAG, yours is a TAG (don’t know why they don’t call them LAG).

[@TheYam786]

30 years old omg

[@razziechkn]

Damn he old

[@d.e.b.b5788]

Mine turned 30 this year. Also chatters endlessly but mysteriously shuts up when I walk in the room. He will only say a few things to me, but on his own, has a huge vocabulary, and remembers how to do voices of people who have been dead for 25 years. Like this fellow, mine is a bit tone deaf, and tries to sing, but it comes out a bit messed up. He speaks english, and some Polish that he learned from the people in my old neighborhood..... but I don't speak Polish, so my bird is multilingual, and I am not! We had a mockingbird live outdoor near his window, so he picked up all sorts of bird calls, then a crow started coming around, and they were all speaking in languages which were not native to any of them!

[@Rosary716]

Our Grey loves looking at other parrots on video. It gets her talking and bopping her head. She’s almost 24.

@@Krislt9 I would not recommend buying one actually. How long have you thought about this? I’ve had Brody for 8 years and I can no longer take care of him without being in misery most of the time because I’m sick. Are you in good health? It’s similar to adopting twin babies that will need your attention 24-7 and live for 45 years. There’s not a single part of your life they don’t affect. A dog would be much easier, and less of a commitment as a lot can change in your life in 10-14 years. It’s something you really have to think about. I love my boy, and won’t let anyone else take care of him but if something happens to me, he’s screwed. None of my family members can handle him. I have zero help with him. If you’re set on it try to rescue one or be a foster parront first.
