My boy Chico stopped talking for a couple weeks.

So a month and a half ago my father passed away and I’ve been spending half a day every day with my mom. So instead of Chico being let out of his in the morning I haven’t been letting him out till 12:00 or 1:00 so I believe he got upset and stopped talking for about three weeks till the other day he started cursing like a truck driver at my macaw.

WOW... my sincerest sympathy.

I wouldn't doubt that Chico picked up on the sadness/stress/changes...

I'm glad he's perking up!

My deepest condolences for the loss of your father.

Any change in a parrot's routine or otherwise jarring event can cause behavioral changes. You are doing the best you can.
