It's so cool when they start to say something new! Especially when you've been trying to teach them! 😊

I love it when they pick up something we weren't trying to teach them!
I'd love to hear Albie's sweet voice if you can get him on video:) However, if he's like my guys they won't say a word when the phone comes out..lol

Jax, my GCC, only says a few things. He says, "Step Up" , "Hello", "Green Green" which is his nickname, and he still calls for Phoe. There is something so precious about a conure's voice:)

@Terry57 Albie is the same, completely camera-shy. The moment I even move my phone, he stops whatever ever he's doing and shuts up! Its the only time I can guarantee to get him to be quiet











Albie can now say :



Love you



Gentle (usually after hes bitten)



Pika pika



Peekaboo



Thank you



Bed time



Bath time



Got the beaky



Bat bird



Yeah



No



What



Eh-eh (he tells himself off when hes doing something he knows he shouldnt)



He also does :



Big kiss



Little kisses


Laughs menacingly



And he tries to hum a long to music



Eta : he also says good night too

Holy cow, he has a huge vocabulary, especially for a GCC, that's awesome!
None of my conures have a large vocabulary. After Jax, the next would be Jury the Jenday, and he only says "Step up!" and Pretty, Pretty Bird". He's so funny when he talks because it almost sounds like he's screaming.

I see Albie just turned 3, so...

Happy Belated Hatchday Albie!!!

We play “gotcher beak” but I haven’t heard anybody say “gotcher beak.”

Someone was practicing the word “pretty” yesterday but I couldn’t tell which bird it was.

Albie is a really good talker! My old greencheek only said a few things. I think his were “dammit” “baby” and “love you”. Which suited him very well.

@HeatherG Thank you , he is a good talker isnt he ? I feel like such a proud mum !



I spend literal hours just talking to him , and having conversations with him . He does respond with a lot of gibberish but i feel like hes chatting back , i can certainly tell when hes being sassy and giving back chat , when he telling me off , when hes being sweet and lovey ,its in his tones ,pitch and how quickly he chatters along with feather fluffing and nody language .



Albie gets very involed with conversations. I like to think he understands a lot of what tell him , but who knows . I figure flocks are all chatting to each other in the wild ,why not a flock in the home ?
