... Just curious here folks... How long did it take your 'tiels to start flappin' their gums....errrr...beaks :p

BB has been here four months as of the 20th and he is only 8.5 months old. He prolly started "talking" two months ago?? I dunno...I'm old and can't remember that far back :rolleyes: :p

Some of his words are as clear as day.. "what are you doing?" "Hi BB"..."where you going?" and he mumbles a couple new ones too " my name is BB" "how are you".

His whistling however is awesome! I love listening to his rendition of the andy Griffith theme while he also throws in a couple wolf whistles in to mix it up lol...plus he is very talented in making up his own stuff.

I really can't believe what a fun,loving,playful,smart little guy he is.
Never knew cockatiels could bring so much laughter and joy lol.

Awwww cute.... I would LOVE to hear/see it on video! :D

BB is very talented that he can do those things. ""Nut can't talk at all haha

I've never had a tiel who could talk but my aunt/uncle's tiel named "Newton" they had many years ago could say "pretty bird" very clearly and also said his name.
