linnie vs budgie/parakeet

[wulfie]

okay, I know this is a really dumb question, and it shouldn't really matter, but I'm really curious. Which has a better talking ability, a linnie or budgie/parakeet?

Both birds have the ability to talk. The record for most words goes to a budgie. They are very talented.

yeah, I just read that a budgie holds the record, curious as to how a linnie would compare, or do they just pick up a few words/sounds?

Both my Linnies talk up a storm and they are only 6 months. Plus Linnie have lots of big bird personality. They eat with their feet, hang upside down and sleep lying down. They walk toe over toe so they kind of waddle Also very easy going and forgiving little birds.

In budgies, the males are the good talkers & their vocabularies can be quite large. Some speak quickly & in high-pitched voices, so the humans don't recognize the words & don't reward the speech, which sometimes disappears. Female budgies are rarely good talkers.

In Linnies, both males & females can talk. They have a more limited vocabulary, but the ones who speak, often speak a lot.

Both species have personalities much bigger than their physical size.

My linnies are quieter than my budgies.

Both are very entertaining companions.

Both are such wonderful little birds. We had a linnie she sadly passed a couple of months ago and we are still so upset over it. I think that a linnie is a quieter bird with of the characteristics of a much larger parrot. Ours whistled lots and was working on several words. Budgies do hold the record for most words spoken however I think that a linnie may be a bit easier to understand once they start speaking.
