Loading ...My sister who recently moved to Kauai has an African Grey Parrot named Chemo. Not sure but I think well over 30 years old. Favorite expression is “go to work Mark”. That’s her “X” who never did so she kept the bird and got rid of Mark. LOL!!! Chemo speaks so many words, sentences, expressions etc and they are all recognizable. Always talking. I hear ya about the biting. My sis knows how to avoid it but the rest of us are fair game. About 10 years ago my sister had a “what’s this” moment when she found an egg in the bottom of the cage. Up until then we had always referred to Chemo as him so we had to adjust our thinking. Now she occasionally lays an egg but of course not fertile since no males around. Chemo is in the care of a friend until my sis finds a suitable rental place while she is looking for a place to buy. The problem is whenever my sis mentions she has a “bird” she says everybody freaks out, but once she locates a place Chemo must be put into quarantine, then put on the plane and she there to pick her up on arrival. But Chemo is a lifelong part of my sis’s family so it’s an “until death do us part” kinda thing.
