We got our Grey after losing the Amazon. I too always wanted a Congo Grey... I seen a discovery channel about a bird named Einenstein that was soooo smart! I was hooked ! Ours is just a baby he is 4 1/2 months so he does not talk yet. But he is trying! We got him out of the paper for 600.00 I had bought a Timneh for 300.00 and he was skittish and sketchy because the people who had him were afraid of him so we hand tamed him and he was really sweet! But a friend of mine begged and pleaded for him so he went to his forever home. Keep saving they are soooo worth it! Angel J

Hi Donna We had a Blue front until we had a thanksgiving tragedy... We lost our chicken. We have a African Grey now in his place.. he is just a baby but gosh darn I miss that amazon! He was hubbys boy but I had fun with him too. I never even knew they had white fronts but I bet Alex is a beauty! Amazons are so unique and great birdie friends . Angel J

Angel, I have a white fronted amazon named Alex. I used to own an Grey and other feathered friends. I just love birds. Donna

Hi, this board is pretty slow but I pop in once in a while to see if anything is going on. I have an umbrella ****atoo Allie,a bare eyed ****atoo Peaches,a sun conure Sunshine, a jenday conure Jen,a normal green Quaker Pickles, and a peach faced/fischers love bird Mango. The biggest talker and the clown of the bunch is my Bare eyed Peaches. She is a hoot!! She uses words appropriately. She says Chris come take your medicine (that's my son) It's time for bed, go to bed, bye bye baby I love you, Hello baby,bad bird,pretty wings, go potty allie, hello pickle pickle,wanna take a bath, wow she says all kinds of stuff. She is a really hyper bird. Allie talks but more winey squeaky talk, Pickles talks when he feels like it and whistles the Andy griffith song. The conures are the newest members of the family, I got them I think in 04. Peaches is the oldest and she's almost 6. They are messy but so entertaining. Such great personalities, they are awesome!

I have only had birds for the last 2 years ... I wish I had discovered what great companions they are earlier on. Yes I love our lil Congo baby... I cant wait til baby chicken says his first words... They are soo smart! My umbrella is more like a big baby she says a few words but mostly just makes sounds like whines and wants to be loved and snuggled but the grey he is my boy! I read a book that says they talk between 12-18 months so I am going to start really listening around 7 months! I would have never known a bird could be so smart and so emotional! We used to have a blue front amazon that was a real kick in the Pants to... but we lost him to a tragic accident w/ the dogs... Love my birdies! Angel
