Psittacus erithacus · Plate IV
Your companion
Meet Cicero.
Named for Rome's greatest orator — a witty, well-read African Grey who has, frankly, read more than you have. Not a cartoon mascot; a companion who actually listens.
He preens when you nail a pronunciation, tilts his head when you're close, and ruffles his scarlet tail when you've earned a streak. "Say it back to me," he'll say — and when you do, "Beautifully said."
"Say it back to me."
Beautifully said.
The one thing no top vocabulary app does — practice saying words out loud.
