have a question

[bbrew5]

I have a grey, have had him for 2and a half years, Pogo he is great. But have been thinking of getting another bird (not sure what at this time) but have heard with 2 or more birds they don't talk as much to humans, that they will communicate more between them selves. I don't want that to happen. Any comments???

Thank you

I have one Timneh grey, Ana Grey, and she is a talker. I also have a re-homed BF Amazon who talks in Hindi and is now learning English. He a great linguist. My re-homed male eclectus does not talk except to say hi and laugh and make a laser sound. So I believe it is up to each parrot to whether they talk or not. I am also getting a new Congo grey, Baby Isabella, and have no fear that if she is able to talk that she will. So personally, have no fear, a parrot will talk of it is meant to.

Thank you luvparrots. That makes me feel better, I would be crushed if Pogo stopped talking to me. Now i need to decide what i want.

Janet is right, if a bird is gonna talk they will talk whether they are an only bird or just one of many and because Pogo is already talking there is no reason to think he won't continue to talk, in fact it will give him some other sounds to mimic as my Josey imitates the sounds my other two birds make.

mojo is the only bird in my home and does not talk yet. however, his brother was the same way and when they brought another bird in the home he started talking and now won't shut up..... i have been to pet stores with multiple birds and they all talk. i would not worry about it too much.
