Zen's Mom Posted July 2, 2011 Share Posted July 2, 2011 Hi everyone - I have a question. We have a 4 month old Cag. He's been with us going on 2 weeks now and is Precious! So I have a question. he's doing his human baby-talk... so often says things that sound like talking only of course don't make any sense. Like he said toy last week, but I'm sure it was just a noise that must have sounded like toy. But today my husband and I were sitting with him and saying I love back and forth and Zen suddenly looks up, stares at my husband and pipes up with the *sounding of * I love you - more like the tonal sounds rather than actual words, but the copying of our 3 sylables was unmistakable. THEN!.. late afternoon my little Sun conure and I were talking back and forth saying "apple apple"... to each other and Zen SAID Apple! I heard it distinctly! -Was it just luck? Happenstance? I was just wondering how old they are before they actually start to verbalize real words. I heard 9 months so I am wondering if I read correctly or if I have a magic bird or something!

Luvparrots Posted July 2, 2011 Share Posted July 2, 2011 There are parrots/greys who can mimic quite quickly. Sounds like that is what you have here. Congratulations on your quick little grey! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ruby Posted July 3, 2011 Share Posted July 3, 2011 ruby said her first word around 4 or 5mos. she's now 8mos and knows a number of words. her voice is still a little grumbly though. the vet told us it would get clearer as she gets older. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shoulderin Posted July 3, 2011 Share Posted July 3, 2011 Wow, that's great! My 9 month old is mimicking lots of sounds but no clear words yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
