[@domtom8501]

Grey's are not noisy birds. They talk to communicate only. I am 61 and older adults have the time to give the time and attention they deserve and need. Rescues are available and if it's a younger bird will need a plan for someone to inherent the bird. They are wonderful but only rescue

[@teriboots4629]

They are the best talkers of all the parrot’s

[@ForZBirds]

Not all Greys are “talkers” so if you just want a talking bird you have to get one that’s already talking. I have 2 that needed a new home. Both birds are sweet but can be sassy. One talks up a storm but is afraid of strangers. The other hoots like an owl and has to be around people. Each bird is an individual. Both of them are really smart - they watch constantly & learn both good & bad behaviors. They’ve trained my spouse really well. There are days I really appreciate the quiet bird.

Sad the cousin passed, but glad she had the foresight to provide for her pets after death. So few people do that.

[@Ass_of_Amalek]

I think it's more common with dedicated owners of long-lived pets like parrots and turtles, since the potential for those pets to outlive their owners is commonly recognised. when people have pets with a 15 year life expectancy, it's common for them to not consider the possibility of dying that soon, but when you have a pet projected to live another 50-100 years, then the pet outliving you is an easy possibility for people to accept without being tied to accepting that they may die soon, which is a realisation most people try to avoid.

I have an Eclectus parrot, and he's amazing. Almost as smart as an African Grey, my boy (Kelvin) talks up a storm. He knows the context of words, and will try new things if she doesn't get what she wants. She imitates my voice so closely that my husband will think it's me talking. And we got him when he was little (he's 12 now), and I had a cough. He still coughs when I do, and will hiccups along with me. He's snugly, affectionate, and never bites. He lets me know what he's thinking, and will gently move my finger off his back if he doesn't want to be petted. I'd be lost without my boy. And he's plucked a lot, too. But you can't stop loving them.

Birds are living descendants of dinosaurs. They are millions of years older than humans. Lets respect our elder species.

African greys can mimic the owners voice after a while. It may not be the same but it’ll be close.

My older sister got a female Quaker juvenile as a form of therapy when going through very hard mental health issues as a teenager. Everyone including myself grew to love her sooo much and be amazed at how phenomenal those birds are! 😊❤

[@jillmurray4213]

I had a female grey who also plucked. She, like Cosmo was very connected to me and my feelings. We never knew what new phrases were going to come from her. Sadly we lost her at the age if 21. She developed blood in her oviducts and by the time she started acting sick it was too late. It took us a good year to get over her death. We had had her from a baby.

Animals are insanely intelligent - wild and pets alike. It only takes us to interact with them to understand we have a common highly sophisticated language (much higher than the human-to-human language we use). I have discovered this whilst interacting with wild birds and rodents around my home - who would never let me touch them (which is exactly as intended), yet converse with us humans, share emotional energy and understand when we show them something new in the garden that they can investigate and figure out to their heart's content.

This made me cry happy tears! I am so glad her first mom thought ahead to make she she had a good home. She's adorable!

[@angelapellino885]

Oh she is so precocious and smart! ❤

I love Cosmo. She brings me so much joy. I can't have a bird so I live vicariously through her, lol. She's just precious. ♥️

[@wildmountainthyme4123]

I feel the same way. Cosmo is a precious gift!

I was friends with a gray. He would make the sound of someone knocking at the door, and when the dogs would come running into the room barking, he would reprimand them by saying “bad dogs! Shut up!” He really enjoyed making me laugh aloud.

[@BenjamintheTortoise]

I'm totally in love with Cosmo!!! Sassy, smart, magnificent.... She's precious in absolutely every way 💕😊 so very glad she has such a great home and family. Much love ❤️

[@suzannedawson6330]

They’re so smart, they have been known to deceive their owners. Careful, if you’ve been gone for any length of time. They hold grudges and will loving lure you over for cuddles and then OUCH! Punish you. I know this is true because mine did just that. They will use your assumption that they are “just a bird” to their advantage. They watch EVERYTHING you do and they’re often one step ahead of you. So stay on your toes. You’re dealing with a brilliant and conniving little individual. Mostly, they just want to be loved and to love you back. ❤❤❤

[@ruca9074]

She is adorable, I was feeling down because of somethings that has happened to me, and Cosmo has made me laugh. Thank you sweetie!

[@heleneocleary5888]

You will feel happy again. It’s difficult to see when you are down. We are vulnerable some more than others. Focus CNN on everything that’s good and you will be fine. ❤

Yay! I’m so glad Cosmo got her GeoBeats story! If there were ever a bird that deserves this, it is her! Her and Gizmo. She always makes my day.. thank you Geo Beats!

[@drkatel]

I love watching bird videos and I'm envious of people who have them but I should've gotten one 30 years ago. I would always worry about who would take over for me. Cosmo was super lucky to land in this family's home. Very impressive how people with no bird experience stood up to the challenge. 👍🏼
