My
name is Tongo and that is what I tell anybody who will listen (and some
that don't). I am an African Grey Parrot. I live with Ron, my dad, Debbi,
my mom and Paul, a ten-year-old human. I know all their names and say them
often. I love to play tricks on my humans. I make the sound of phones
ringing, microwaves beeping and doors opening. Sometimes, when I make the
telephone sound I answer it and hold a conversation, i.e., "Hello..., uh
huh, uh huh, yeah... the prettiest bird you ever saw! Uh Huh, okay! Love
you, bye." But, there are plenty of times that I just want to play a
stupid human trick and make my house noises to see who I can attract. Did
I mention I do voices too? I can do Debbi calling Ron and Ron calling the
dogs but my personal favorite is Ron reprimanding Paul. When I do this
voice, it places me higher up in the pecking order (excuse the pun.) I
think it's fun, especially as Paul is just a little older than me an I
like to be his boss!
