Louy was chirping like crazy, like his usual behaviour and this time i chosse to listen harder.

AND HE WAS REPEATING SOME OF THE THINGS I WHISTLED TO HIM.

So now my mum and sister can not say stupid bird!

He even whistles my high piched whistle. I'm a very good whistler if i say so myself.

Yes budgies are smart and males and even females will pick up whistles. Keep talking to him and you may be surprised to hear him talking very soon. Pretty did .

Huzah!

Whistle on!

That is fantastic! It is amazing when they start to repeat what you teach them!

It is actually shocking what they pick up. Tweety the first knew alot of phrases, but she also picked up some of my Dad's football chants and when I heard her, I was like Oh my god. Really does show you the benefits of having them in the main room of the house.

I have been listening to my budgie and he has sorta got the start of talking.

I sometimes say chirp, chirp, chirp to him and he goes eh eh eh.
