what age does a grey talk from

[shazbaby36]

i have a 14 week old grey new to this could anyone tell me at what age they start to talk

[TheGreyMiester]

Sometimes 1 to 2 years of age. Depends on the bird. Some will never talk although it's most likely that it will talk some day.

Our grey began talking at about 6 or 7 months, although TheGreyMiester is correct -- a year or two is not that unusual.

 

Just keeping talking to your bird and one day, he'll respond -- and that will thrill you! After that, the trick is to quiet him down :lol:

We got Harrison at 3 months of age and he was saying "hello pretty bird" and "hello pretty birdies" at the breeder's house...he's now 15 months old and says all kinds of things. He had two sisters there with him and neither of them talked while we were there picking Harrison up.

My Grey started talking at the age of one. She is almost two and associates words and phases with objects and movement.

I was told that male CAG's start talking earlier than the female CAG. My Angie is a little over 3 months old and I thought I heard her say "Hello" today. She only said it once and it wasn't that clear so I don't know if I am just hearing things. She is my first bird.

She very well could have, some of the members have greys that have talked at a few months of age. I haven't heard that males talk before females. I don't think it makes any difference.

oooh it must be so thrilling when they say their first word :woohoo: Brian still mostly just makes baby noises.. although i could have sworn i heard him do the "wolf whistle".. ya know the zwits zwoo one when i was in the kitchen, when i went in to him he just went back to peeping.. so maybe i just imagined it

I have a TAG and she started talking at 6 months. But my understanding is TAG's tend to talk sooner then CAG's. I have nothing to compair her too so don't know how true that is.

She is 8 years old now and says a few things not a lot. However she may say more then I know cause she wont talk if she thinks I can hear her. She is a closet talker.

Harry started whistling straight away at 3 months old and now sounds like he says hello but its not that clear. hes trying awwww! . I just keep talking to him and always say water when he drinks and name each fruit when he eats it. I want him to be able to ask for it later in life. little stress if you know what they want.great idea on the poll by the way

My TAG said his first real word at 6 months old. Prior to that he mumbled and whistled. Now, at 17 months old, he's a chatter box that picks up new words and phrases very quickly (a little too fast sometimes. )
