i have an African Gray Congo (Male) that will be two in May and i have had him for about 8-9 months. hes not the best talker and when he says stuff its not that clear, but him not being able to talk doesn't bother me. he whistles very well and makes little noises well to but for some reason prefers not to talk or make his noises, he like to scream as loud as he can. he shares a cage with my Amazon Blue Fronted (Buddy) who is 4 and they like each other ALOT, but sometimes he gets aggressive towards him. now due to his screaming buddy is beginning to pick it up even tho he was never done it before. i tried to give him toys to keep him occupied, but its hard because he is scared of anything bigger than his head. he doesn't even eat certain foods because there to big. i tried to spend more time with him like holding him when i watch TV. hes quiet but he soon jumps off me and goes to the cage and screams. so to tell you the truth, i don't know what to do cause now my dad is getting tired of him. he used to give me kisses and play woth me a little but now wants nothing to do with me or buddy. the only time he is quiet is at 8 when i cover him up for bed.
