I have two American Budgies that I never tried to teach to talk. Now that they have each other I doubt they will stray from their birdy language.
I would like to have the potential to own a bird that can talk. I am planning on getting an English Budgie from a breeder who hand feeds her birds. When I get this bird it will be kept upstairs in my bedroom for quarantine and to bond with it, and the other two will be down in the family room. They will be able to flock call to each other, but won’t be in the same room.
My question is: if a bird can hear other budgies doing their budgie talk, will it have any reason to even attempt to learn to mimic human speech?
Will it be less likely that the bird will talk?
I guess I will have to try and find out, but I’m curious if anyone has any experience with this.
Of course, the whole point of having the bird is not for it to talk, but I just want the potential. Once the English Budgie is trained to sit on my finger, etc. I will consider getting him a friend to bond with.
