However, for your parrot, this probably translates into something simpler, like declaring a new guest and not necessarily a desire to communicate with that person.
However, some owners claim their pets can name their favorite foods and even count basic numbers. The most likely reason your parrot talks is because it is a master at mimicry, and it is learning to adjust to its new environment.
In time, it will expand its vocabulary to include words that cause you to give it the attention it wants.

Most parrots are mimics, But many who own an especially talkative parrot like an African Gray know very well that the bird can converse on a very basic level beyond mere mimicry. It can choose words to express specific thoughts -- "Where you going?
The bird can and often will select a word it knows and place it correctly into a sentence in a form the bird has never heard previously. What surprises me is the glib way the idea of a talking parrot is dismissed here. You evidently don't know parrots or the literature.
