Billy does every annoying noise imaginable.
He can say loads funny stuff, loadsa catch phrases and stuff, they're really amusing
He likes anything thats bad for him i.e crisps,kebab,chips etc, my mums put him on a fruit and veg diet
He likes biting and chucking stuff all over
and whatever u do dont give them chocolate or avocado!

Had a sub-species of african grey called a Timney. His name was Charlie, we got him when he was about 3 and had him for 17 years. He didnt talk but made EVERY single noise that he heard, alarms, farts, burps, miaows, barks, you name it.....He had a stroke though and had to be put down at the end of last year
