      Apparently, they already had other birds that they were bonded with, and Gizmo likely didn't get along with the other birds. So as the last one in, he was the bird that got the least attention. I've known other people who had to give up a new bird, because the birds they already had would attack it. So their only option was in their opinion, was to keep Gizmo alone by himself. Just glad that Gizmo has found a wonderful new home.

      Also, African Greys tend to be very picky when it comes to choosing friends. That's why if you want to have one as a pet, you should always go to a breeder who has hand reared and has a number of them. You should enter their aviary and choose one that seems the friendliest to you. Never just buy one where that one is the only option.

    Greys like Gizmo are some of the smartest parrots, they can sometimes fully converse and understand what humans are saying.

I'm assuming they learn to speak the same way an infant does- by picking up on what's going on and connecting certain words with actions, objects, or emotions. Beautiful creatures.

    I’m so glad you talked about African Greys using English - CORRECTLY and IN CONTEXT. My cousin has a grey, Buddy, and it is absolutely true that greys can communicate in English just like people do. One day, we were standing outside the house but Buddy could hear us, and he said ‘you’re talking too loud". My cousin had a dog Buddy didn’t like. The dogs name was Max. My cousin pulled a turkey out of the oven, and Buddy said, "Awwww Max!” Then made a laughing sound. There’s so many more examples with Buddy. People who don’t know greys, or even animals, think I’m nuts when I tell them greys can speak human language and are complicated as humans are - but it’s so true. And Gizmo shows that too.

    Omg! Gizmo you’re so so beautiful, African greys are so beautiful also very intelligent and sensitive and must be adopted by someone who is seriously committed to a relationship that can last for up to 65 years. Gizmo reminded me of my Nico, she was only 17 when she flew away as I fell on the floor while she was on my shoulder. Immediately I ran out looking for her but couldn’t find her😢😢😢😢Im sure someone took her and didn’t want to bring her back to me regardless that for almost 3 months I put signs with a substantial reward. The problem with this type of parrot is that once they become attached to one person you can’t separate them without seriously risking their health due to separation anxiety. They are amazing and nothing can compare to what it feels and means having an African Grey but I will always warn anybody about the committed relationship that they require. A parrot is not a pet and if life presents you with one to rescue (as I did) it shouldn’t be taken lightly ❤❤❤
