Longest phrase?

[WyrdOne]

My 6 year-old Congo Gray knows about 40 phrases. I've often wondered how long a phrase he'd be capable of repeating. What's the longest phrase any of you have managed to teach your Gray? Cosmo's longest to date: "Jesse Ventura is my kinda guy!" His latest: "Cosmo for president!

My TAG was wild caught, too. And, like yours, doesn't 'talk' much, but will copy any and every sound she hears around the house. She does say "What are you doing?" with three different tones of voice, sounding more intense until you answer her. She also says "OK Pepe", and calls the dog "C'mon" when you clap your hands. Her longest 'phrase' is her goodbye song. It's three bird calls, three goose honks, another whistle, and a modified cukoo clock. I have no idea where she heard all that, but she's been saying goodbye like that for at least
5 years now.

Spanish and one phase in Dutch.You can hear some of the things he has to say by visiting the vocabulary page on his web site

I was a career Navy officer and get a kick out of teaching Cosmo nautical phrases.

My CAG can say bad bird bad bird what you gonna do what you gonna do. It is so cute because when he goes into the what you gonna do, its in a deeper voice. The other part we added was when papa comes for you. Can't wait till he says it all.

Dusty has a huge vocabulary, with lots of phrases. I think her longest are" two, two is four. You're so smart." and " Jingle, jingle, jingle all theway.
One horse open sleigh, hey! Ho, Ho, Ho." She also yells at the dogs, calling them all by name and saying " go on, go on, don't you want outside?" She says this when I open the door to let them out.

hi bob , about phrases , my leo , 4 years old says phrases of 8 or 9 w0rds. I teach him a lot , I gave speechlessons , so my articulation is good. and I am alone , so he does not hear other voices.
on friday , my daughter comes to eat a tosti. "who is coming ? liesbeth comes to eat tosti , oh leo!liesbeth , do you have a lekkere tosti for leo?
"
"there she comes (all in dutch of course)coffee and lekkere cook..." when vrouwtje (thats me) is going to run errands , leo cannot hoera (on top of his cage)no , no ,no ,when she comes back leo may hoera! "I can really have a conversation with him. I love him so much. and still.....when I offer him something he snaps at my fingers, is that playing???

I can take him on my lap,like that better than on my shoulder ,can control him better (my ear...)but I cannot say that I can do everything with him.but
I read in the group , that parrots have their moods...so , then you have to leave them and do not touch.
when he snaps like that I am sometimes disappointed , because I never really punish him.I also learned in this group that it does not work when you punish a grey.
I should like to hear reactions , greetings from holland , regine van den broek
