A little introduction of Sarabi, the African Grey Parrot of which this blog will follow. Sarabi was born in Sweden the 6th of June(the Swedish National Day) 2009. She is a Congo African Grey Parrot (Psittacus Erithacus Erithacus), a breed much known for its ability to, not only mimic human speech but also understand some of it, and use human speech to communicate with its owner(s). Congo African Greys, or CAG's, usually learn to speak at the age of 12-18 months but they can learn a few words or phrases before then. Sarabi is now at the age of 7 months and her vocabulary consists of:1. Hi (Used as a greeting in the morning, when someone enters the room etc.)
2. Up up (Step up. A phrase used when she wan
ts to be lifted onto the hand.)3. Peek-a-boo (At the moment pronounced "Eek-a-poo." A phrase used when playing the popular childrens' game by the same name.)
Besides these words and phrases Sarabi also makes kiss noices when asked to "gimme' a kiss" and she stretches her wings when told to "Stretch."
