Pickles is awfully cute.:heart: I think parrots definitely know how to say things in context, but it’s hard to say if Pickles is doing that here or not.

I feel silly asking this but I had to wonder If this Cockatoo was just reciting phases that he's heard before or if there are some phrases they use correctly.
...not a silly question at all. 'Toos do learn vocalizations from us...Milton does all the time. He also uses many of the vocalizations in correct context...

Exactly what Cassiesdad said.

My U2 says “Helllllo” whenever the door to the house opens. And he doesn’t have a HUGE vocabulary like some do. Probably 25 words or so.
