I have been playing youtube sounds of cockatiels every morning for my budgies. Murphy is not repeating some of the whistles. Towards the end of the video when he turns his head you can hear a few of these sounds.

My lovies did enjoy hearing a few of Murphy's sounds! It is so cute that he imitates those cockatiel sounds, for a while I have been trying to teach my birds the whistle of the hunger games but no succes yet:D

Murphy was trying hard, but it looks like his buddy in the background - was not impressed.

Being a female budgie Mickey is not into all the singing and whistling stuff. To my knowledge Murphy has not talked yet but I do say "what ch doin" to him often.

Awesome, Dobby really loves to whistle and make sounds to get his point across but he has quite a few words and phrases he knows. He just started saying baby boy which Lurch used to say from whoever originally raised him:xflove: It's cool to think he is picking up new words from us now as we call him baby boy a lot as it fits and is kinda a tribute to Lurch.

How old is Dobby? My other male budgies from the past began talking about 8 or 9 months of age. Murphy not talking. I read that birds that learn whistling do not talk. Trying to prove that wrong.

Dobby is a Maxi Pionus and is probably about 8 now, Lurch was another Maxi who really liked to talk and was probably about 10 when he escaped and he was still learning new words. Nerd was on of my first Maxi's, was probably wild caught, and always spoke wild Pionus bur we understood each other perfectly and he knew his name, had a name for himself, and a vocalization of a name for me. He was with me 31 years.
