Have some patience. Most greys do not speak until they are 1 to 1-1/2 years old. Gizmo (my grey) didn't talk til about 1 year. After the first word - his vocabulary just took off. Unfortunately he has a rare bacterial infection that keeps reoccuring every few months that we treat with antibiotics. If I could trade his speaking ability to having a happy healthy bird all the time - there would be no choice. So be grateful you have a healthy bird.
