I read that Alexandrine Parakeets are good talkers. Popper is unaware of this fact. He says one thing - some sort of duckduckduck hello hello ( in two distinctly different voices for the hellos) and makes a couple of noises.
I read "a parrot of any age can learn to talk!" . Popper is indeed of just about ANY age, lol.
I read that the way to teach a parrot to talk is to talk to it. Well, if that is so, my parrots hit the jackpot as I have been running a constant stream of one way conversation with pets and my kid since I got my first dog in 2000. I chattered so much my kid learned to talk incredibly early.
However, my guess is that if popper wanted to talk he would have talked by now. Besides duckduckduck hello. I don't really care if he learns to talk, just curious. I do see he is learning to understand some things I say and he asks for things he wa to by turning his head upside down. But we have had no conversation
Rio does seem to be learning to talk but I can't understand any of it, lol. The same thing happened when my kid was a toddler - he would talk and I had no idea what he was saying. Other (more maternal?) women would often translate the full sentences my child was speaking. Perhaps I can find a bird translator for Rio.
