Disclaimer: I KNOW you should not get a bird because you want it to talk I have two male budgies and pretty sure I'll never get a word out of them.. love them to bits anyway.
But I'm curious.
I want a Pionus (eventually, not right now) but they don't seem to be very common in my area. I recently ran into a BH at an exotics shop (they even said they don't see them often)... and I had to pass him up because I am not prepared yet. It was very hard since I don't know when another one will pop up. It was even *harder* because when I laid eyes on him (5 months old) he immediately moved over close to me, put his foot up toward me, and said "Hi!".
He was the only bird I've looked at that I felt a 'spark' with, and I'm so sad.
But anyway - Now I'm wondering if he was extra super special for talking already, too? How common is it for a 5 month old Pionus to be saying Hi?
How many of yours have learned to talk at all?
