Things our greys say...

[HeatherStrella]

I looked for the thread where everyone (including myself) posted things our greys say...I recently updated my album/blog on my site and wanted to post it on that thread but I couldn't find it...so I thought I would just start over...I don't know how to make it sticky...or is that appropriate? I'd love to see what other greys say/mimick...here's this list of what Harrison says and the dates I added them to the album...

Hello Buddy

He just started saying "no" when he doesn't want to do something.

5~1~07
Heather
Where's Heather?
I'm Sorry
gootchie-gootchie goo
Go On
Ooops!
5~23~07
I'm trying to teach him "Tell me about it, stud"...you know, the famous line in "Grease"...so far he says "Tell me about it, SSSSS"
5~26~07
He said "Tell me about it, Stud" perfectly. He doesn't always say it perfectly, but most of the time he does.

He's also saying different variations of the phrases in the first group. Like "Whatcha doin boy?" or "Whatcha doin Harrison?" He beeps like the microwave, makes belching and farting sounds, whines like the dog, wolf whistles, and he also kinda mumbles in my husbands voice...I'll say "what did you say?" to my husband...and he didn't say anything at all...it was Harrison.

Since we've found out that Harrison is female, we've been talking to her as such. She's learned a few new phrases...

Pretty Girl
Good Girl
Wanna Come out and Play?
She's also barking like our dog...she talks to the dog but I can't understand her...she says "blah blah...Sandy!!" (the dog's name)

I had a sneezing episode yesterday and after each sneeze, my husband said "bless you"...well, this morning, Harrison made a sneezing sound and said "bless you" right after. ha.

La Dee Da
Yummy yummy yummy
Stop it Sandy
and she's regularly making sneezing sounds and saying "bless you"

8/13/07
You Go Poopie?
(female voice) "Honey?!"~(male voice) "What?!"
It's alright
Ok bye bye
Bye bye Harrison
You're a good bird, yes you are
Come here
WOW!
She makes the sound of a soda pop opening

Still searching.......I do remember one that we had where we all listed the things our greys said, but I'm having trouble locating it. Still searching....................:S

hi what age did she start to talk as mine is 8 months and not talking yet

[HeatherStrella]

Harrison was talking at age 3 months at the breeder. She learns to say things pretty quickly after hearing them.

[judygram]

Thats wonderful, Heather, she was talking early, Josey did not start until much later, but now she picks up new words quickly, too.:P

[briansmum]

Brian talks very occasionally, so far i've heard
hello
what ya doin? but it comes out like "whaooin" :laugh:
yessss
good boy
woooo/oooooh
kissy sounds

he recently stayed at my mums and has said "ssshhi.." a couple of times.. no prizes for guessing what that's supposed to be. bad parents, bad bad parents :laugh:

he barely says these, it's like they just slip out every now and then, but for 6 months i think it's pretty good
