I understand that lovies are not famous for their mimicking abilities, but
I'm beginning to think our little Plum doesn't speak love bird...like, at all.
She sounds nothing like the love birds in the videos I've seen. She often does a sort of mumble chirp that sounds a lot like she's copying my husband (her favourite person) barks convincingly like our neighbor's dog, quacks, giggles (?) and kiiiinda says her name, but doesn't enunciate well. She also goes nuts when she hears budgies, and tries to 'sing' along with them.
We know very little about what kind of environment Sugarplum was kept in before we adopted her -she was listed as free on our local buy/sell page. Does anyone else have a lovebird who seems bad at speaking her own 'language'? You always hear about how smart large parrots are, but this little bundle of fluff keeps surprising us with her cleverness.
