Pet Forum / Birds / Parrots / December 2003He's talking already!
Piper started talking sometime last week.... he whistles so far, the wolf whistle and now he says "pretty bird" and he is very talkative like as if he is trying to say more words. I am beginning to think that he is actually a male.... for a while I was thinking he was a she because of the coloring of his feathers.... I would hate to call Piper a "little man" and actually have him be a her. *lol* Kathy Congratulations, that's so cool! I have a friend who's cockatiel has quite to vocabulary, they really have cute little voices :). (BTW, most of the talking cockatiels are actually males, some say "all" are but while I haven't personally known any, I've heard of exceptions that prove that rule.)

'Most' tiels that can talk or whistle complicated tunes are infact males. There is the odd girl that can do it too but generally it's a male trait, probably due to the need to attract females in the wild, They need the ability and it of course caries over to captive ones. Josh Thank you for replying Owly and Josh! Piper is quite the little character already! I am just amazed at how quickly he picked up on things! Right now everyone in the family keeps whistling the "Austin Powers" theme song and hopefully he will pick up on that too... which I am sure he will.... it is just too cool! *LOL* I keep telling him "I love you" over and over and I think he is trying to say it, but he hasn't quite got it yet. I just love that "little guy"! BTW, his cage comes today :-) Kathy > > Congratulations, that's so cool!

Not to say, I have had/have a couple of females that talked. One male I had, would not only say "I love you" but would also play "Peek-a-boo", bobbing his head where is couldnt be seen then popping it back up and say his "peek-a-boo". He then expected us to do the same, which we usually did. Thats a real fun game to play with your pet if you can get him to play:) >Thank you for replying Owly and Josh! > [quoted text clipped - 32 lines] >> >> Josh That is so cool when they play "peek-a-boo!" I have already started doing that with him, but it's too soon so he isn't doing it yet.... I think I am already trying to teach him too many things at once so I am probably driving him bonkers! *LOL* > Aye, most the talkers I've had were males.

My daughter used that name posting to another group and I never checked to change the name back to mine! *LOL* Kathy > That is so cool when they play "peek-a-boo!"

Hope this may help. > Ooops, sorry about the "Dharma", it is me Kathy....

[quoted text clipped - 13 lines] > > am > > > probably driving him bonkers! *LOL* It's very easy with the OE V6.0 you are using. Just pull down the tools menu and select accounts. Just clone the info you already have into another new account and change the nickname. > I know, but she usually only posts once in a great while, so I didn't > want to bother setting up two... it's just that this time I forgot to [quoted text clipped - 23 lines] > > > am > > > > probably driving him bonkers! *LOL* |
