His name is Monti, last week he said his name for the first time; “Motti”....instead of Monti!

    Ellen, this is too funny. Monti’s very beautiful; you’ve captured his wide-eyed look of wonder so splendidly! Another great addition to your already GREAT portfolio! By the way, how does Monti relate to the RATZZ?

  • Ellen replied

    Thanks Bonnie for your kind comment; Monti is so used to the rats,he doesnt pay attention to them. I use to have another african grey, he was older and could speak very good. When the rats had a fight ,he always warned them or told them to stop! (of course he had learned that from me)Refards, Ellen.

    It almost doesn’t look like you used selective coloring, but I know Greys eyes are typicaly yellow, right? I love Monti… wish I could see him in person. I am in a need now to go visit a local avian store, that allows me to hold any of the parrots I want to hold. =)
    Nice red hat, Ellen.

  • Ellen replied

    Kimberly, it was not selective color. His eyes are grey till about 6 months, thats how you can see they are still young , They turn yellow after 6 months of age.Thanks for your comment :))

    Brilliant photo again, Monti is gorgeous. I used to also have an African Grey called Henry and they are fantastic birds. Can’t wait to see more of him!

  • Ellen replied

    What a nice name….Henry! Could he talk well?

  • Elaine Harriott

    Elaine Harriott

    Yes he was excellent! He was older than my brother and I when we lived in South Africa and could talk …. and of course let you know what he wanted! Very cheeky too. Sadly though we had to leave him behind when we moved countries, but I believe he is still alive and well – going on about 38 years old now!

  • Ellen replied

    Thanks Elaine….i just wrote you a bubblemail to ask about his age:)
    Sorry to hear you had to leave him behind…
