Remembrance of African Grays past

Irene Pepperberg's talk brought back memories of when I lived with an African Gray. Mahorn wasn't as demonstrably clever as Irene's parrots. However, she was well-stimulated and loved practical jokes. Her favorite was to call out "I've got it" when the phone rang ... in perfect mimicry of one of my housemates.

We missed a lot of calls that way.
