tabbytai Posted December 9, 2008 Share Posted December 9, 2008 My Dudley is about 8 months old. She is a dear. Anyway, I just wanted to share that she said her first words over the weekend!!!!! Well... she has said a few things before but it was more like baby talk... only I could really understand her... but she spoke so clearly the other day! She said "Hello Birdie." I almost freaked because I thought it was me! ha ha ha! I captured it on video later on that day as well! How fun!:laugh: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

casper Posted December 10, 2008 Share Posted December 10, 2008 Congratulations! I think its still exciting when my boys learn a new word now, but those first words are the best! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MasterMarK Posted January 12, 2009 Share Posted January 12, 2009 Poppy is now 5 months old and not speaking yet people have told us because he whistled first he will not speak is this true ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
judygram Posted January 12, 2009 Share Posted January 12, 2009 Thats BS MasterMark, my Josey started out whistling and she talks now and whistles too. Poppy being just 5 months is too young yet to be talking much, give him some time as Josey didn't talk until she was one year of age. Why don't you introduce yourself in the welcome room and tell us something more about you and Poppy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nikki Posted January 12, 2009 Share Posted January 12, 2009 That's wonderful! My bird is just 6 month's & I've heard hello on a rare occasion but that's about it. She did however look out the bathroom window on 2 mornings & make a perfect crow imitation .....just what I need, a crow in my bathroom! This was VERY LOUD!

danmcq Posted January 12, 2009 Share Posted January 12, 2009 Well, Judy certainly stated what that piece of misinformation your friend said was. :-) Don't sweat teaching your bird whistles, songs etc. Those are the first sounds they are programmed to do to survive in the flock..contact calling, baby pants, cheeps of I need attention etc. The learn whistles and sounds first. Do try associating food items, actions etc. with the same word(s) everytime. YOu may do this for months, but I guarantee you, you're Grey is paying attention and one day will shock the living hell out of you when He not only says something, but in the correct context. :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
