I used to have a cockatoo who expressed himself loudly and clearly...in English.

I'll see you one cockatoo and raise you an African Gray. We had both. The latter even invented her own compound all-purpose exclamation: GodShit. I guarantee you that a parrot will take the very occasional time you cuss and make people think you must curse like a sailor day and night. They latch onto words with strong emotional content.
Having a parrot is an interesting experience but I discourage people from indulging, they are wild animals and it's near impossible to provide them with the stimulation and environment they need. Both of ours ended up in a bird sanctuary with a giant aviary with a flock of other parrots of the same species ... I endowed them for life after my wife died and I could no longer care for them. They are better off there, and quit plucking their feathers, too. I visit them occasionally, and they remember me, in a glad-to-see-you, glad-to-see-you-go kind of way.
@mordant i think they'd say, "thank you for giving us up to a good home. We miss you, but thanks for visiting us!"
meet Bear - I have had him for just over 25 years. He was hatched April 13, 1993 - I got him June 1, 1993. He has been hiking in the Teton Mountains, lived in .CA, CO, OK, NC, TX, VA & WA - he loves car rides and playing in the yard. His vocabulary is probably around 200 words and believe it or not his only cuss word is the occasional 'shit' during football season... ?

That would be an interesting revelation
I don't have, unfortunately. If it was a dog, I think would try to tell me :"Paddy, pet me!" If was a cat, would tell me "Feed me, you bastard!!!"

I don't either, but i love dogs. I just don't have the time to dedicate to the care and time he deserves from me. Maybe someday!
@StrongHappySilly I don't have space as well, not allowed by the landlord. Not a big deal.
In all honesty, I imagine that pets would talk like children by just wanting and begging for things then occasionally showing affection to get things from you. But they would probably still care for you a lot then mature as they get older.
