I thought he was going to pull out a guitar any minute.

I like the way he turns his back to the camera when he's finished. Like closing the curtain on his act.

It's called the evolution of dance.
Check it out. There's some great music on it too!

I think the dancing video got millions of viewings. It's amazing.

This place in Africa
Cameroon was our home
Till a man came and hosed us
Wet through to the bone
He thru over us a net
And pulled it so tight
We all started growling
And screaming with fright
A terrible journey
It was just pure hell
To England they sent us
For people to sell
Some of us lived
But most of us died
Our wings they were cut
Our feet they were tied
Shoved into small cages
We were roughly thrown
Further and further
Away from our home
From one place to another
Then another thrice more
Then thankfully here
Where I now feel secure
I am starting to trust them
And learning their speak
I have friends and good food
All I ever would seek
But I think of the others, who were netted from the tree
Most of them dead now, how cruel can it be
To be dragged from our homeland, and never be freed
Lives wasted by torture, all for mans greed

Dianne, I forgot to tell you that a few months ago, we took the kids to an alligator farm near Alamosa, CO. They had many other animals, including two African Greys. I tried to get them to talk, but they wouldn't. I asked them how Sammie Sue was and they totally ignored me! I think they're jealous of how smart she is.

And...the fact that Sammie Sue has her own blog must really drive them crazy.
If they are in a wild environment, they usually won't pick up too many words unless they hear them repeated a lot. Sometimes, Sammie makes these jungle noises and I have no idea where she learned them unless it's just in her blood. It's so funny to hear.
