We have a family pet, it is an African grey parrot that dominates our house. When we get up in the morning the parrot greets us with a cheerful " good morning" which is repeated until it is given fruits and nuts for breakfast. We have also taught him to say a limited number of phrases such us "you are very pretty", which makes it very popular with our female visitors. We have grown very fond of it, and consider it almost a member of the family.

The only negative thing about the parrot is the daily cleaning of the cage, but apart from that, it requires little attention. It is a constant companion because it is always "talking" so you never feel alone in its presence! It even sings along with you!.
