African grey learned a phrase we never use around him!

He started saying here i go or here we go, cant exactly remember. but hes said it several times already so i expect him to say it again.
I never use those words together, my aunt doesnt use that phrase, we dont have visitors much, when we do they dont stay long, and ive never heard them say that..
i know african greys can learn a longer string of words the first time they hear it.. but this is so interesting!

i cant find anything on google about it, but this isnt the first time hes said weird things.

where did this bird get this legit phrase from?
[spirits probably. :P]

fun fact about african greys. They dont just mimic. They intuitively seem to understand context somehow.

My aunts dog kept getting in my way, and I kept telling her to move. This bird didnt just pick the word up, he used it when I was moving his cage around.
If the bird wants the light off to go to sleep, he will say night night.
If the bird hears the phone he will say Hello?
He doesnt have like a crazy big vocabulary, though, I guess thats why its a little weird too.

Maybe he heard it a long time ago and didnt forget it and just now started using it again out of nowhere. Thats the only thing I can come up with.
