Caged birds speak volumes when they are alone
A yellow-naped parrot has a precise tone
Copied from each captor
A precocious adaptor
He’s intelligent, even witty
He mocks, jokes, calls here, kitty, kitty
He will learn games, beg to play
Our experiences made fun days.

    1. I’d be careful. An African grey supposedly smarter and nicer personality but we always got the pets when kids moved. We had a parrot like this for years and it wasn’t until my daughter who handed him down to us that when she and her family moved in that he became mean. He was dangerous. If he was out flying around, which we let him do before, we had any other family with us, he could drive you right out of a room he would say you didn’t go barefoot around him😃 I had to keep him in our bedroom away from the kids. The problem was that he was like a three year-old, jealous, and he would take it out on me and my husband so finally we had to put him in the pet shop. He was extremely smart, he could say hundreds of things, sing songs, my husband taught him how to whistle the barber of Seville and play games.

  9. I’ve watched videos of birds with their humans and they are endlessly fascinating and engaging. Not sure if you heard about the bird that was a witness in a murder trial? He’s memorized the conversation between the killer and the victim and kept repeating it. I think birds are a lot smarter than we give them credit for.
