Talking Nanday 2

[peugeot101076]

Fantastic !

[alexwnovak]

When you guys laughed, I laughed too, and so did my nanday on my shoulder.

[BlueWolche]

I'm quite fond of Nandays, and Maverick here is no exception. I'm surprised and amazed at his vocabulary, and his eagerness to show others his talkative-ness. My Sun Conure, Bodi, surprised me when he began to speak...I heard that it's quite rare for conures in general to be talkative compared to their bigger parrot counterparts (greys, amazons, ect)

[MinilandMayhem101]

My Nanday says "Whatcha Doing"

[sjlove2bird]

I always heard Nanday's don't speak. I guess you disproved that.

[birdluver184858]

i have a nanday conure that loves to give kisses to me only to people she knows. but she loves to make noises like giving kisses. she bobs her head as well as laughing.

his name is jade. jade the dancing king

[asands123]

my nanday used to cuddle with me like that too..she got very territorial after awhile, only myself and my mother could hold her..she never bit us but would bite others

[kagomebaby97]

aawwwwwwwwwwww! i have a peach fronted conure and all he can say is kiss, just like this. i was not expecting this bird to sound so close to my bid Mikey. :P

[lautnerlovers15]

Awww this is sooooo cute !!! reminds me of my conjure Fiji they are so precious and i luv these birds!!!

[2704heatherwolf]

nandy can be very mean birds , i know my fathers nanday is mean she talks, but she wont hesitate to attack people

[trizomatic]

shes cute, no the bird the girl haha.

[tamra1975]

Actually, nandays do talk, they are just difficult to teach. They, like many other parots mimic what they hear around them. I have a nanday too and she talks up a storm. Doesn't get much cage time except bedtime. Its all in how you work with them.

[birdlover60]

how much does it cost

[marydok1]

Ahh, he looks like he's in that "Hey this is my owner!!! Don't come near me!" mode. My nanday does that too, and the slow motion head movements. His name is Pickles.

[MegaLilly2009]

[LysanderBlack]

[BluefrontparrotPolly]

[TheChocolateFireAnt]

Im geting a nanday conure, luckily he doesnt have a name because i wanna name him Loki

[Peekablue]

Wow, he's quite the talker! My Nanday snuggles into my neck and shoulder just like Maverick's doing.

[FCKEVRY1]

My birdie died today. I miss him so much. I don't know what to do with myself.

[NightmareSkittlesz]

how big is his cage> :>

[gtszstarbai]

my nanday does the same thing

he like snuggles against your neck

[Kuchenvieh]

he is so awesome <3

and girl you are so beautiful ^-^

[OverTheRaynbow]

This is a very sweet Nanday.

[pinkairplane86]

I just wish he was like this with everyone! It takes him a long time to get used to new people.

When he gets all cuddled and chatty like this he gets in what we call "guard mode' hehe. He just sits and guards me and anyone that gets too close, he;ll dive bomb them!

[TaylorFanXD]

@pinkairplane86 mines the exact same way, well cuz shes a nanday conure too lol.

[tikifun360]

omgsh that reminds me of my lil girl, the live to be really old, shes older than me! shes going to be 21 this summer

[IdentifyWithResearch]

My vet tells me they can last up to 35 years, but that that's very "high end." I've had mine just over 20 now but she's second hand and if the store owner was right she's probably 23-24 years-old. I can tell that she's older from her behavior but she's doing well. She has a hormone imbalance in summer, which means Lupron shots (it's not all that unusual apparently) but as long as she gets them that's her only health problem to date.

[FCKEVRY1]

Cute. I have a nanday, Pythagoras, who is just learning to say his first words. Not too many of these birds talk, you know?

[pinkairplane86]

Aww! Yea, we actually were discussing that the other night...not sure why he's so talkative for a conure. He's got a vocabulary of about 15-20 words/phrases/sounds. We'd like to get all his phrases on video, but that's easier said than done. He's loves to be a chatterbox!

[iluvabiline]

@pinkairplane86 OMG what a talkative conure!!!

[iluvabiline]

@FCKEVRY1 i have a nanday as well,jazz, she is very talkative....her favorite word is FREAK!!!! lol

[wendy6592123]

i have a nanday conure but he gets very territorial bcuz he spend most of his time with my sun conure :(

he bites sometimes but when hes alone hes sooo cute.. but i might sell him bcuz hes becomming too agressive...

umm how did you teach him to say all those things???

mine just wistles and says his name and sometime dances and he says pee-ka-boo!

[pinkairplane86]

We really didn't teach him to talk. Just interacting with him and him being around us all day, he picked up quite a bit. A lot of it just depends on the bird...my sun doesn't talk at all...he occasionally whistles and he clicks. If you are thinking about selling your bird, I'd look into a bird rescue first. That way someone would be able to work with him to overcome the aggression issues and you can be certain he'll end up in good hands.

[IdentifyWithResearch]

I'd second the bird rescue idea unless you found your bird a good home yourself. It's really tough on the bird if it gets resold from a store: chances are the store won't give enough background on the bird that a new owner will understand the situation and unless the bird's behavior changes rapidly he stands a good chance of going back to the store, which really takes a toll on the bird. I'm adding this comment because it sounds like you care about the bird. You may already know this.
