LONDON, England -- A computer programmer found out his girlfriend was having an affair when his pet parrot kept repeating her lover's name, British media reported Tuesday.
The African grey parrot kept squawking "I love you, Gary" as his owner, Chris Taylor, sat with girlfriend Suzy Collins on the sofa of their shared flat in Leeds, northern England.

BHAHAHAHAHA!!!
I don't know if anyone saw this on some program about funny pets but there's this one video of a parrot mimicing about 20 different sounds ... funniest thing I've seen in months ... includes everything from a phone ringing to a space ship sound ...
What we have here is a[n almost] dead parrot.
If only Clinton had a parrot. Of course, he would have ended up as an entree before we ever got to hear anything.
Stool pigeon.
I dunno, but I've heard that African Grey Parrots are among the most intelligent birds, even accomplishing tasks that some mammal pets can't. I watched some science program about African Greys on TV that was amazing.
Besides a big dog like a Lab, an African Grey would be my next preferred pet. If I could afford the right environments for both, I'd own both.
African greys are excellent talkers.. guess she didn't realize that lol.
Too funny.
This is why I have a dog.
"Why so little?", she asked the pet store owner.
The owner looked at her and said, "Look, I should tell you first that this bird used to live in a house of prostitution, and sometimes it says some pretty vulgar stuff."
The woman thought about this, but decided she had to have the bird anyway. She took it home and hung the bird's cage up in her living room and waited for it to say something. The bird looked around the room, then at her, and said, "New house, new madam."
The woman was a bit shocked at the implication, but then thought "that's really not so bad."
When her two teenage daughters returned from school the bird saw and said, "New house, new madam, new girls." The girls and the woman were a bit offended but then began to laugh about the situation considering how and where the parrot had been raised. Moments later, the woman's husband Keith came home from work.
The bird looked at him and said, "Hi, Keith."
LOL, i thought this was referring to Ross.
Did the program you watched have Alex in it?

I've read a lot about him, he is an amazing bird..
To anyone who longs for a parrot that 'talks'. You may get what you want, morning to night nonstop chatter. I very rarely curse... but if I did the stupid bird would repeat it. Repetition on my part isn't necessary, if the creature hears something once and likes it, you'll hear it forever. I completely believe this story.
Possibly the world's brainiest bird. http://www.upatsix.com/faq/greyfaq.htm
uh, sorry, who is Ross?

Tired and not thinking
I raised canaries for a while. The thing that struck me was the male canary was always canoodling the female and singing at the top of his lungs.
There's a difference between a male canary singing and a male canary ... .
oops. How do you get out of this one?
