In Conversations with Cosmo At Home with an African Grey Parrot, Dr. Betty Jean Craige tells the story of her parrot's education in the language and culture of her human friends. Cosmo is a seven-year-old female Congo African Grey Parrot who by the age of six had learned more than a hundred words and had uttered more than two hundred different phrases. Craige recounts how Cosmo learned to talk, developed social skills and a sense of humor, and became an adorable feathery little person, a real party animal. Cosmo is funny-her first joke was "Telephone for bird!"-and so is Craige. Craige's purpose in writing this very entertaining book is not only to report and explain her parrot's acquisition of language and cognitive abilities, but also-through Cosmo's story-to awaken readers to the mental activities of all the animals with whom we humans share space on our planet. The book has a preface by Irene Pepperberg, author of Alex and Me, and two appendices a list of "Cosmo's utterances" and a list of "Forty-Four Tips for Living with an African Grey." Preface by Irene M. Pepperberg, author of The Alex Studies and Alex and Me

This is one of the best, funniest books about parenting a parrot that I have ever read. The story about the down-to-earth, day-to-day things one has to deal with having a feathered friend that can talk back to you, make jokes, and keep you on your toes is funny and sweet, and at the same time sobering in its telling of just how smart and intuitive our feathered friends can be. It is a must-read for any bird lover, anyone who has ever thought about getting any kind of bird, or anyone who likes to read a good well-written story about two beings living together with love, trust, and understandingProduct details

CONVERSATIONS WITH COSMO AT HOME WITH AN AFRICAN GREY PARROT edition by Betty Jean Craige Crafts Hobbies Home eBooks Reviews
This CD is o.k. I had the notion that it has actual "training tracks" for Capt. Morgan. It is only informational.
I had just purchased a juvenile grey when I bought this book. It was so entertaining and helped me adjust to this bird' presence in our home with our children dogs and rabbits. A must read if for nothing else to read Cosmo's admissions that "Cosmo's a bad bird" after he would bite his owner!
i thoroughly enjoyed this account of cosmo. such a beautiful bond between carer and parrot. alot of the funny things are so relatable to my own cheeky "scarlett" that i laughed and read parts out loud to my family .
Love Betty's writings and Cosmo's antics!
This book was not only informative, but it was downright funny, as Cosmo displayed some very human traits, such as lying to her owner and taking the dog for a walk. I think it got a little too preachy in the last 20 pages or so; I think it would have been better to use this material to break up the almost contast hilarity of the rest of the book.
I enjoyed it. My parrot is an , but I could relate to a lot of it. Parrots are such wonderful pets for the right people.
Professor Craige tells the story of Cosmo, an African Grey parrot, who is intelligent, funny and creative. The book is both entertaining and informative. Those folks who already share their lives with a parrot will not be surprised by how bright Cosmo is, but they will love reading the story of her development and her brilliant use of language. Those who have never lived with a parrot will be amazed by how intelligent and complicated parrots are, and learn a new respect for these truly amazing creatures.
As someone who shares her home with parrots I just love a book that shows how smart, funny and creative birds are. I enjoyed reading the lists of all of the clever things Cosmo says and the stories of her often mischievous sense of humor.
