Smokey grey.....a Timna African grey.......Very smart, fella........Counts to 10 for a peanut, has a 25-30 word vocabulary on a consistent basis......He repeats everything, he hears :o ::)......He even has the ability to change the pitch of his voice to sound like me or my wife....

    I've spent countless hours working with him & the rewards are priceless............. *up*

He can cluck & purr......loves to kee-kee ::) and does a mean nasty ole' hen assembly yelping seris, that will stop you in your tracks. :o

     When I go away, I usally leave the radio on for some company for the flock.......I had this brainstorm to put one of my turkey talk cd's in on auto reverse for them to listen to......It continues to play till you turn it off....needless to say...Smokey picked allot of the sounds up..... ;D

     We've worked on a gobble, but he's not quite sure of it, just yet.....LOL!

      He's only 6 years old, so he has a bunch of years left to work with & teach him.....
