Aww...your parrotlet is so cute! And occasionally, Cricket (my parrotlet) will imitate the noises of my budgies. He doesn't do it very often, but he does sometimes. He has a little parrotlet-esque chirp mixed in with it, though. Won't imitate budgie noises perfectly.

Gose as I sit here is squawking up a storm and I realize she sound just like the breeders flock of budgies from where I got her...

Too funny what they pick up.

I have a budgie, Valentino, who is SO good at impersonating both my cockatiel and my lorikeet that I literally cannot tell who is doing the squawking unless I'm looking straight at 'em!

Your little Gose is very cute, btw :)

I call her Goose half the time xD

She is a little spitfire.

She was supposed to be a breeder bird and was bought with such intensions but unfortunately was handraised by herself with no other birds.

So the breeder I got her from told me she hates other birds but loves people.... Which is why she ended up with me. I'm used to birds that hate other birds unfortunately.

So she is kinda a rescue baby. But loved. Very much loved xD.

Yep, I do! :D Little Sam here loves to copy my budgies and sometimes I can not say who is singing :)

She is a little spitfire.
I am sure she is. Parrotlets have such amazing personalities!

she hates other birds but loves people....
Same thing here with Sam. He is so sweet that I could not believe my eyes when I approached him to the budgies cage and he tried to attack Bud (the budgie that Sam learned to copy).

By the way, Bud never stops singing even when sleeping, so I guess Sam learning to "talk budgie" was not that hard for him.
