Just wondering...

[JungleDreamz]

I was in a local pet store the other day, and one of the bird experts in there said that male african greys learn to talk sooner than females...Not any better or anything, Just learn sooner...Is this true??? Or False???

Not sure whether it's true or not, but I can tell you that I have a female who's 1 year and 3 months, and she doesn't shut up.

my 10 year old girl talks quite often. my 17 year old boy hardly speaks.

I believe that there is actually no difference between the sexes ability to talk, but more the individual birds and whether or not they choose to talk. But then I'm not a scientist, just going off of what I've read <br><br>Post edited by: jessdecutie18, at: 2010/01/21 14:21

I agree with Jess it is more the individual birds interest and inclination than weather they are male or female.

Ok I see...I wasnt wondering about the ability to talk though, Just the time it takes them to learn from female to male...But that is probably just the particular bird too..Thanks for the replies!
