Some day I'll have my gray ! The Congo Gray is the bigger of the two. I have heard that they really don't start talking untill at least a few yrs. old .There was a famous gray named Alex. He understood what to do on command! He was owned by a Scientist who studied his intelligence for yrs.  |
Our Sam didn't start talking till he was about two, but with 40-60 year life span, that's like the same as a human baby not talking till two!
We were so sad when Alex died last year.
