I must confess that I love how they look like they’re made of play dough! But I would be missing an aviary, about 20 acres, a second hyacinth for company & a security detail = way more than £20,000!

Nice try, though. Budgies are best! :cool:

Mine don’t & I’ve yet to hear of one living in a household with other budgies who does. On the plus side, dietary conversion is apparently also easier with one.

Cheesecake and Chirik CAN mimic human talk, but that's their discretion. They mimic cockatiels and squirrels accurately

@Sparkles99 I am curious. Do your babies talk?
@Emma&pico posted a wee video of one of hers (not a budgie) talking. It was adorable, and I have heard that budgies do talk. I've never seen one....
Pretty sure @Britnicorn posted footage of her little sweetie singing bacon pancakes. Budgies sound adorable when they talk.

@Sparkles99 you're again driving me towards budgie adoption. I promised myself I won't adopt another budgie ( after those sad incidents of escape).

Phoenix talks a lot!!

he is capable of making very small, cave-man sentences too. “Gimme a kiss bird” is a common one lol. He also says “You scared Phoenix!” after a loud noise (something i said to my fiance a lot lol) “Me perdonas? Im sorry, its okay!” (me perdonas is “you forgive me?” in spanish) among other things. he is a talker

and of course, his most famous:
