Does anyone remember Alex, Irene Pepperberg's famous grey? Alex could count, identify shapes and all kinds of other really cool stuff. Greys in general are good talkers, and talk in context -- they understand what they are saying. That fascinates me.
I like African Grey too after I watched some videos on Youtube of them talking and perform other tricks. They are indeed very smart birds. Maybe some day I will get one in the future after I have learned more about bird care.
Is African Grey the only bird species you are allergic to?
It is the first time I have heard of someone is allergic to a certain bird species. What are some of the reactions you have had when you get close to an African Grey?
