do parrots just mimick o do they know what they are saying, te decied! one of my b&g macaws knows everyone in the house da name and some of our Friends names too. he knows basic colors, and asks for his preferiti da name, "wanna pine nut, nana, wana nana". when i'm going out he asks, "store, eens ( genes ) and "drive", even "van, ruck ( truck ), then it's "go, wana go, van, go drive van", and if i say that i will be rite back he says "wana go, i sing" then he starts to sing his song, "hopping cucciolo you're the one" and so he goes on, ( the tune of rubber ducky ). he likes to get the change at the store to play with. i have many macaws, most do talk somewhat, but not like orion. i could go on but te decied...so, mimick, is that not how we all learn to speak! - mrmacaw -
