It was better to find him in the old museum layout. Now you have to find him on the touch screens for the ark. We bust the screens looking for him XD. Its ashame that non of his adverts are up and around =c. what funny as well as most people who have a talking animle teach them to swear but not him. He had a propper little accent going.
Memories. I thought my father sounded good on this! If anyone has a spare copy of the ep we would appreciate it. Been looking a long time. A cd copy would do fine.
Ha, ha, this is great! I read about Sparkie on a BBC website, and this is really amazing. He does indeed sound a bit like a polite Dalek. It's wierd how he can do two accents.
Hi Triky, yes. This is very real. He was a Champion Talking budgerigar and can be seen at the Great North Museum Hancock in Newcastle Upon Tyne. William
Lol! The Geordie accent gets me every time

This is awesome. I love how talking budgies sounds like mini radios or those wind-up talking toys for kids (the cow says... moooo, etc)

Pity that the video isnt Sparkie on film, speaking "live" so to speak.
I read up on him in The Times. Interesting story.
Thanks for the video

Hi Joannamichelle, Yes it is a pity that. You can't get a live video of him anywhere...believe me I've tried. William

Yeah, I'm pretty sure there was no video. This was my great-great-aunt's bird and the family remains very proud to this day!
