This morning while sitting upstairs waiting for my coffee to get done it was still relatively quiet so I was able to catch Snowy talking very clear and it got me wondering how many other budgies do we have here that talk or mimic?
I need to start writing down all his little things he says.
His latest phrase I heard him say was "What are you doing?"
He also barks like a dog and says "Shut up".:lol:

I have a girl so no sounds from her but there is the cutest boy budgie at a birdshop I frequent and he will get on your shoulder and say whatcha doing beautiful. Or I'm beautiful

Both Tobie and Kiwi are talking up a storm! Sayings like "Bye,Bye" "Pretty Tobie" "Birddddddd" "Bark, Bark (after the neighbor's dogs :D), and "Hi Kiwi" are just among the words and phrases.

Only 2 of my many budgies talked. My 1st ever bird, 60 years ago, said his name: Pretty Boy. That was it, "pretty boy"--but he said it a lot. His favorite time was just before bed, when he'd sit with his head in his bell & say it over & over...."Pretty boy, pretty pretty pretty preety boy". My last budgie (don't currently have one) :( ) said the shortened form of her name. I got her 2 weeks after my husband & I split up. She was the 1st budgie I'd ever had who wouldn't have a thing to do with me! Without realizing it, I must have said "D##n bird!" a "few" times, 'cause once I got my act together (about 9 months), she started coming out of the cage & was soon sitting on my shoulder, saying "Bird". And that became her name--and only word: Bird. "Bird. Bird. Birrrrrrrrrrrrd" Just once she said "good bird", which I often said to her after I became human again, but just that one time. At least she never picked up on the "d##n" :) She was one of my favorite budgies ever. Had her for 10 years. Lost her to ovarian cancer :( Sweet birdie...I still think of her.

I have 2 budgies that mimic other birds - one does a 'tiel (T.L.) and it sounds like I have a 'tiel in my house. The other does a starling or finch etc she was a stray outside for a while, and she sounds just like a species of bird you would hear outside the window.
I haven't heard any talking yet from them though... Supposedly Billie talks (according to her old owners) but I've never heard her ever mutter a word
