Is my bird crying or simply just mocking my dog?

Here I have attached a video of what sounds like my bird whimpering, it dosent really sound like whimpering but it did when I filmed it, my dog does whimper a lot, but winnie had never said any thing before since we just got him

Sounds like regular chirping to me too, at least in that short clip.

Your bird is not crying. Either regular chirps or mimicking.

Actually, my lovebirds can sometimes make a similar noise while waffling on just before the afternoon nap :)

He’s never mimicked before so I’d be surprised if it was mimicking :) it didn’t sound like his regular chirp

He is a year old :) and I got him a month ago
It can take them more than a months time to bloom into their true personality and come out with more vocalizations. Pay attention to what he is doing when he makes those sounds and let us know what he is doing. Just curious...

While he's not directly mimicking it does sound like he's playing with his voice to see if he can make a certain sound. I can't tell what it is right now but with practice....

Afterthought. This could be a great time to be teaching him some short phrases.

I’ve been saying some things to him a lot, I do say his name a LOT so I hope he learns it :)
