Freddie has a well-developed vocabulary! While he is undoubtedly an exceptional bird, it's not unusual for Amazons to be so vocal. My old Amazon, George, used to have one-sided phone conversations just like Freddie does.

Freddie is definitely an exceptional bird, great to hear all those words pouring out LoL. His previous owner's taught him well.
One Amazon, in a pet shop near us, chats all day to the customers coming in.
Curious to know, does he sound like you when talking, or the previous owner?.
Enjoy him........

Hey Babe, and What a good bird you are sound like me. My voice is much softer than the owners, so it's easy to hear the difference. I've been talking a lot to him, but not really trying to teach him yet. I do repeat things that I'd like him to say such as God Bless Freddie...Goodnight just before he's covered...

Remember, whenever we talk, they are listening and learning, all the time. :eek:

I guess the one sided phone conversations must be normal. When the phone rings and I pick it up Boo goes into

Hello?
Oh, hi! How are you?
I'm fine.

Then it trickles off into mumbles.

That is so cool, wonder if they ever think : how come no-one ever answers me :eek:
I reckon that's why it trickles off into mumbles :rolleyes:
