Shanny, I hope you got your friend because you like parrots not because it could learn to talk. Some don't and the timeline is different for each parrot. Read some of the other posts. Some are named at the top of this thread. It depends of the parrot, some talk as early as 4 months, some 6 months and some longer, some not at all. It all starts with mumbles and imitations of sounds. Be patient. Enjoy your friend for all its antics and the wonderful companionship it can provide. Good Luck!!!:cheer: Relax, have patience and enjoy!!!<br><br>Post edited by: luvparrots, at: 2008/10/08 20:26
