I'm wondering at what age did your greenwing macaw start to speak. I guess I am asking for specifically greenwings because it seems that all of the different types of macaws mature at very different ages. I am curious to see there is a "norm"

Lynn, my GW, Skylar, started talking within a couple of months of bringing him home from the breeder. He never had a huge vocabulary, but was my most reliable (on command) talker.

Mardy started saying HELLO before she came home. She would have been about 5 months old at that time. She's 23 months old now. She's been slowly adding words and sounds ever since she came home. Mardy now says six words or phrases and makes six different sounds. From what I understand, males are better talkers than females. Mardy is a female.
