KevinD Posted June 20, 2013 Share Posted June 20, 2013 I discovered that Sukei likes to hear herself and talk back as long as she hears it playing. Found this out when showing a video to someone that had the audio turned up, She really seems to enjoy it and wont stop chattering till the video stops. Each time I do it, she adds to dialog with a new type sound. Is this a bad thing to do with her? ANY time you fire off audio she immediately starts to talk back to herself. I checked if it was just parrot chatter in general by running some audio of a different parrot, and she doesn't utter a peep, just to her own. Scratching my head on this one???

Talon Posted June 20, 2013 Share Posted June 20, 2013 My birds will talk alot when the house is noisy. Sometimes, when they are alone and think no one is listening. Stop all the noise in the house suddenly, and they will get quiet...it's always interesting! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luvparrots Posted June 20, 2013 Share Posted June 20, 2013 My three love to talk when I am on the telephone. Never fails, parrot chatter when the phone rings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
danmcq Posted June 20, 2013 Share Posted June 20, 2013 Thats interesting Kevin that she only seems to like and respond back to her own voice or perhaps sound affects. My Grey is just the opposite, if I play his videos he sits and seems very bored. But when I play another Grey speaking or whistling and even sound effects, Dayo will respond back. But my thought is, if it stimulates Sukei to respond, then continue to do so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kins2321@yahoo.com Posted June 20, 2013 Share Posted June 20, 2013 Kevin....a star is born! LOL Just be careful she doesn't obsess and only talk when video is on. Nancy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
judygram Posted June 21, 2013 Share Posted June 21, 2013 She may think there is another grey and she is interacting with it by talking back but its adorable and nothing wrong with it. Now my grey will listen intently when she hears another grey like if I play a video of a grey talking or playing, I believe she recognizes its another bird like her.

Ray P Posted June 22, 2013 Share Posted June 22, 2013 I say if they enjoy it than do it. There is something about seeing her self that she likes and that`s OK. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JeffNOK Posted June 23, 2013 Share Posted June 23, 2013 Gracie likes to hear herself too. She starts to repeat after herself when she hears a recording of her voice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
