My sons tiel has learned to talk..

[Celia58]

He can whistle the "come here" whistle(dont know how to explain it any other way)
And he says his name Pikachu very well now..Its amazing how fast he picked it up too.Any ideas for new words for him to learn?
Maybe Pretty Bird could be next.

Unfortunately he is mimicking my Amazon when he screams too, sounds like the tiel is throwing a temper tantrum when he trys to sound like Paco..Paco has been so interested in the tiel, he wants to be near him but Im afraid to let them to close..But paco seems content to just sit about a foot away and watch him..Its funny because Paco has no interest in my greenie at all but that tiel has him very intrigued...Now my greenie is very interested in the finches though.

My little girl tiel does the come here whistle and she wolf whistles lol. She also does the mailman coming up the walk, he has a certain whistle. We thought she was a boy until she laid some eggs lol. She is fascinated with our sun conure and he likes her too but I'm also afraid to let them get too close lol

CC doesn't mimic or "talk" (not that I mind, she's the bestest no matter what), but a few days ago I was asleep in bed when she started making her "attention! Danger!" call.

My bed is right across from her cage, less than 4 feet from it, so she has a clear view...apparently my b/f had let the cat in and the cat was nuzzling and licking my face, which CC found to be unacceptably threatening, LOL!

Funny thing is, her "alert" sound definitely wakes me up!

I can't imagine "real" talking from a 'tiel, I'd probably be so shocked I'd fall over, hehe!

He says Pikachu pretty clearly.If you get on youtube their are some that talk quite well.But they whistle much better..

My Jack is a really clear, and good talker, he only says a few words, but he says “hi Jacky boy”, “Hi Jacky”, “thank you” (he has only just picked this one up recently, he says it after he gives you a kiss). He is good at mimicking too, maybe too good, but he mimics the phone perfectly, and a microwave.
