Just wondering how old a lorikeet may be before they can talk ?

Mines about 12weeks and I swear to god she said hello to me as I walked into the room today 20150817_132758.jpg

Start as early as possible, lorikeets love to interact and will talk the house down. Their voices aren't as clear as some other species but if you keep on as early as possible you may get a great talker out of her.

My Lorikeet first started off at murmuring at the words and how I said words when I was teaching her. Paris now says 'Step up' 'Whaaat?' & copies whistles that I make. I also agree with @JAM , lorikeets don't have the best clear voices when it comes to talking. :)

She has the wolf whistle down pat although i didn't teach her that it's a bit embarrassing around others :)
