Buster's sense of humor is outrageous. He loves to tease us and laugh when we screw up!
"You''re silly!", he'll shout then waiting for a response which we will reply, "I'm not silly! You're the silly one!". He then repeats his silly statement followed by "Neenerneenerneener." Then he laughs. One time he responded by saying, "No, I'm the bird!"
My husband Dennis plays poker on the computer and Buster is in his cage right behind him. When he wasn't doing too well one day, he decided to go all in and lost. Buster commented, "That was stupid!" Didn't do much for Dennis' attitude!

THE WATER FAUCET
My husband and son bought a new kitchen faucet. When they came home with their purchase, they put the box on the table and we all gathered around to open it. I hadn't seen it and Buster couldn't see it because he was behind us.
We got the box open and while we were admiring it, Buster, apparently frustrated that he couldn't see it said loudly, "WHAT...IS...IT?" He really got our attention!
Of course we had to take it over to him so he could see it and touch it with his beak.
African Grays intelligence is unbelievable. He was never taught to say this. He learned to talk by observation, not us drilling words into his head. This is why his speech is so appropriate and why he can make up his own sentences. Sometimes the sentences are very basic, other times they are fully complete with correct verbs, etc. He continually shocks us with what he knows and what he says!
