Also, as far as whether he's an American parakeet or an English Budgie, we were told Budgie - I don't think there is much difference other than size, though, is that right? Since this video, he's learned how to say "Nobody puts Baby Bird in a corner," "Hasta la vista, Baby Bird," and "Ich bin ein Berliner" like JFK. I need to make some new videos!

I have been told that some birds simply have no interest in talking, despite a young age. Also, are you sure your parakeet is a male? I was also told that females generally do not talk. Otherwise, I repeat the same phrase over and over, many times during the day, using the same intonation each and every time. I say things in a very excited voice. But I think most of it is Disco - he just loves talking and mimicking!

@MsJumpinJude Females can talk but not as well, my female budgie Buddie whistles, beat boxes and can say 'what ya doing?' and 'hello Buddie' but these aren't very clear at the moment.

@duckymarshmallow I am glad your female talks - so many of them don't, although they definitely communicate to their owners in other cute ways. I would love to see a video of your female. Feel free to post it on Disco's wall on Facebook - Disco loves it when people post pictures and videos of their birds, any kind of birds!

@MsJumpinJude Buddie is a bit camera shy so i may/may not get a clip of her speaking, her words aren't very clear but she is still learning :).

[MsJumpinJude]

@duckymarshmallow Well, if Buddie decides to warm up to the camera - or you can trick her, LOL - Disco would love to see. She sounds like a real sweetie!!!

Awesome guy, it's a catchy rime

[sodacoaster]

yes he has some aspects of his face that look English - especially the throat / throat spots. What a cutie! Please feed him lots of green veggies so he can stay with us a long time so we can see what all he learns.
