An Episode in The Life of a (Bilingual) Household Budgie: French-speaking bird is learning English. The ACTUAL result is a constant switching from one language to the other: in this film, I have therefore edited out the intertwining French portions of speech for the benefit of English-speaking viewers and listeners.

  • Good! My bird can speak only Japanese, so I'd like to teach him some English words.

    I'll show him this movie right now. Thanks.

  • @nataregimacurre: You bird may also be inspired by "Incessant Talking Budgie Li'l Babi"... (on my channel).

  • I love this video - how old was Babi when he started speaking?

  • Babi was about 3 months old when he began talking "human." His first word? Babi! He is now 5½.

  • Sorry for the redundancy, RoketTM (not everyone reads the description...) -- what you are forgetting is that they learn the human languages from: US! (Including intonations and all the other subtleties of language...)

  • @CVersailles Yes I know that but I didn't know that it was like us having an accent after learning a second language

  • He is a French-speaking bird learning English as a second (human) language...

  • Haha it sounds like he has an accent. xD

  • Il faudrait peut-être leur faire écouter Babi lorsqu'il parle en français pour qu'elles apprennent cette langue...

  • Il est tres jolie. Mes petits undules sont enchantes!
