Blinkie was just chattering on my shoulder and i heard him say "Blinkie stinky". :(Laughing out loud): Mum's been claiming he can say it for a while now, he spends a lot of time on her shoulder. I love that he's insulting himself, and doesn't even know it.

Bea,

 

I love it, how funny. I think Kazumi will come out with something soon... first thing every morning and most evenings he tries out all the different sounds he can make.... at the moment it all just sounds Martian to me

Just about everything Blinkie says sounds like martian talk to me. He's got a few things he can say very clearly though (in my opinion). Even Ozzie's talking now, he says "Zeeeeeeee" really long. It's his interpretation of his name, as everytime i greet him i say "Hey Ozzieeeeee". Fizzy can do a few of the whistles Bailee does, so i have a very chatty bunch here at my house.

Awww, how cute!

Awww thta's so cute Bea.Chippy our green budgie is the best talker in our house.He can say the most words but Jangles says things at the right times.

I love how they all have their own voices and ways to talk.

That's cool Bea, it must be so funny

none of my budgies 'talk', I was wondering if thsoe of you with talking budgies... are they in the same cages with other budgies or more isolated from the main flock? mine tend to mimic each other but none willing to start talking yet.

Haha...its funny that they don't know what it is they're saying...and I agree that I wish I knew what all the "martian" garble Holly says is.

 

Holly came out with a new one today...the room was quiet and he was sitting on the floor of his cage and said very clearly in the high pitched little voice he gets from me "Hello Beeps!" Reason being he picked up the sound the answer machine makes (a beep noise) when he kept getting chucked out of the living room for being too noisy when my dad was ill and off work for three weeks, so I have taken to calling him Beeps as another of his nick names.

 

I'm currently working on whistling the first line of "Twinkle twinkle little star" with him...so far I've heard him do the first 4 notes and then he stops.

 

Ravengypsy, I can't really help about your birds talking as Holly is the only bird I have therefore he listens to me and my family all the time and so he's picked up quite a lot (he's certainly the quickest learner I've had...my brother taught him to whistle in a week)...but he also makes chirps like the wild sparrows he can hear outside too.

My talkers/mimickers/whistlers are in cages/rooms with more birds and they spend time in my flock of 5 for several hours a day. Blinkie, the best talker of the bunch, was an only bird for over a year. The others have still learned though.

The most beautiful budgie in the universe calls himself Stinky!!! One of the two budgies that I am babysitting for a couple of months, Echo, says "budgie, budgie", "Echo, Echo" and I think, "pretty bird".

It is easier to teach a solo , male budgie to talk as you become a member of their flock and they learn to mimic you. Budgies together have each other as their flock members, so as you have found they mimic each other. Sometimes, if you have had a solo budgie and taught t to talk the second budgie will copy the first and learn phrases. More often though, when another budgie is added, they will regress and stop talking as much, or at all.

 

They are all different though.
