Parrots are teaching each other to talk !

I've always wanted to have a parrot but they are very expensive where I'm from. An African Grey parrot seems to have a longer lifespan than dogs and can live up to fifty years in captivity. It would be nice to have one but I do wonder if they can handle the tropical climate that we have. It would be nice to be able to teach one to talk and maybe in Tagalog too. It would be hilarious!
