    What a little chattering machine!! Paints an interesting picture of his owner… 😀
    Adorable feathery puff, BTW.

      Archeologists love to find trash dumps because they tell us so much about the people living at a particular site. Budgies kind of perform the same function in verbal form!

    I hope you know who doesn’t own a Budgie. How do you say Parakeet in Russia?

    I knew budgie talked but I didn’t know they could have such a large vocabulary.

    Hm. On the one hand, I would LOVE to snuggle with a little bird. On the other hand, I don’t think I’d like having my verbal trivialities literally parroted back to me all day. (Poor thing would be saying things like, “Dammit, where’d I put my stupid phone?” and “For the love of Pete, where did I leave my shoes?” over and over again.)

      I can only imagine the foul mouth a bird would develop living with me.

        Allein, it would be a ‘fowl’ mouth. Night! Night!

      I’d have the same problem. It would be an endless litany of “Have you seen my glasses?”, “Did I take my pills this morning?” and “What did we have for tea yesterday?”

        Mine would say, “Kitties, cut that out!” “Get out of my way!” And “Stop fighting with your brother/sister.” It would be more fun to teach it Monty Python and Eddie Izzard lines.

          Would you teach it the Dead Parrot sketch?

    Funny, chatty little guy – so sweet. I, too, was surprised that a budgie could have such a large vocabulary.

    I know a lady that taught hers to say, “I can talk, can you fly?”
