I have an 8 year old Meyer's Parrot named Alex. She follows me around the house like a dog (I let her out of her cage whenever I'm home) and she talks. She knows what she's saying, because she will only say "Hi" when she first sees me.. and she says "Yum!" only when I give her a grape (which is her favorite food).
She does a perfect imitation of the squeeky sound my Swiffer makes when I mop the floor, and can make a zipper sound of my luggage. All I have to do is take my luggage out of the closet and she will go, "zzzzzzzzipppppp!"
I also have six (how many do you want?) Australian zebra finches. I started out with a pair... and... well.... you know the rest!
