Oh my gosh this is all TOO FUNNY!!!!!!. I can't wait until Sasha is gabbing away.
We almost got an African Grey instead of the Macaw but then somebody scared me off them. Are they pretty nice birds as far as a bird goes?????
Does anybody have a Grey and a Macaw that can tell me some differences in temperment?

I have an African Grey and my daughter has a Macaw. The Macaw is more loving and will let anyone hold him. My grey is mostly a one person bird, but sometimes will let others pet him. He invites you to pet him by lowering his head and says "come on". If you take your eyes off him while you are petting him, he will bite you and then laugh. He is 5 years old and has a big vocabularly. One of the first things he learned was to bark like a dog at about 7 months. He also calls the dogs and teases them.

I almost bought an African Graey when I bought the Blue Crown Conure. The breeder kind of shied me away from him. I do know they are the best talkers, but they are one of the worst for feather picking, and often times will hunker down in their cages. They are also usually one person birds. I dearly love them, but decided on the BHC. He is really a sweety. Loves to be petted and makes cooing sounds when you do, he will go to anyone, even though he would rather be with me. He has never bitten anyone else either. He will ocasionally nip me if I happen to pet a blood feather. But he doesn't bite to hurt ----just to let you know not to do that, that it hurts.
In my opnion, all birds are nice, but I wanted a better natured bird.
