My beautiful 4 year old bird is called Lexy. He can say hello ,come as well as my sons name Jay he says a few other words too. He can be stubborn at times if he doesn't know you. He needs time to adjust to you and your surroundings. Once he's comfortable you can rub his head bell beak and even lay him upside down to rub his chest. He loves cheese rice chicken shrimp apples carrots and so many other foods. He's a good Bird I just can't keep him due to a terminally sick member of the family. He is being neglected cause I just don't have the time other then cleaning his cage and feeding him he gets no other attention. If you can't afford $400 then you can't afford a parrot. Look for a different type of bird because that's actually cheaper then you'll find anywhere else.
