how mischievous does a bird have to be to learn "stop it" of all things? xD

Ohhh that's great!!! **Clapping for Cleo** My little Missy says "Uh-Oh" really well. She has also picked up "You okay?" I couldn't figure out what she was saying for the longest time. I knew it wasn't a sound she picked up from the birds outside the window or the t.v., but eventually I figured it out. I always say to her "You okay?", without really realizing it. Then one day she repeated it back after I said it, and the riddle was solved... Makes me laugh when she says it.

Awwwwwww, that's just a chirp. The videos of talking budgies are much more impressive.

@ferociousgumby Lovebirds do not sound the same as budgies. Their capabilities to talk are VERY limited, but lovebird owners certainly know the difference between chirping and talking. Cleo is (to the best of her ability) mimicking things I say and do often. And it is not common to see a lovebird talk at all.

My lovebird makes so many different sounds, chirps, clicks, grunts, screams, sweet little peeps, distress-calls (to get my attention), whistles (usually on one note, and he stops when I come in the room), clacks, and a few more. I want to teach him a simple "hello", and he tilts his head all over the place when I say it as if he wants to repeat it back to me, but so far no dice.

@ferociousgumby They're a lot smarter than we give them credit for, aren't they? I was shocked that Cleo was able to say the handful of words she knows! It's a pleasant surprise to hear it. At first I wasn't sure it was more than just a noise she makes, but after I say a certain word, she will repeat it in her lovebird language. Especially my sneezes! She's a little comedian.

I don't know if this is true, but I've heard that if you put a budgie and a lovebird in the same cage, the lovebird will kill the budgie.

@ferociousgumby My lovebird and budgie visit for a little while every day, a half-hour max. They do not fight. Then again, I would never keep them together long enough to let that happen. And never unsupervised.
