How well does your sennie talk?

[thekarens]

When I got Sammie I assumed she either wouldn't talk or would have one or two words in her vocabulary. Well, almost immediately she started saying "Step up!" and that was quickly followed by "good boy!"

She's now 6 months old and she's added a few more phrases. She says "Hi Sammie! Hi Baby! and Whatcha Doin?!" She only says these phrases though when she thinks I'm ignoring her and she says it in her "robot voice." The other phrases she says in a very sweet, cute voice.

Mine says .....
Alright?
Hey baby.
Night. Night.
Drink.
Eagle.
What ya doing?
Huh?
Jub. Jub. (his word for porridge, as he can't say porridge).
Dinner!
Come on.

He also blows raspberries at me, does kissy noises, makes shooting sounds at me, burps, meows, quacks, whispers, and does the "Anne from Little Britain" noise (a UK TV show).

Shame he prefers to scream.

 

[thekarens]

That is a shame. He has quite the repertoire!

 

[SennieSlave]

Oh and when I'm crying because he's driven me to it - he says "awww" in a really patronising way.

I have two senegals and only one says anything. JoJo only says her name and it isn't very clear at all.

How well do your two get along? I wouldn't mind a second poi in the family, but I'm pretty sure Sammie would eat it....or at least try to.

Rio can say and do the following:

Rio
Wendy
Fluffy butt
What are you doing?
Pretty bird
Birdie

Man, can she scream like a girl. LOL my daughter taught her to do that.
Mimics the Macaw next door - not good.
Mimics the Cockatiels on the other side of me. - Lord help me.
Mimics our other bird, Kiwi - the Parrotlet when she is really ticked off.
She also does kissy raspberry sounds.
Mimics a smoke detector.
Clicks
Whistles
Pops
Tries to bark like my dog Mya.
She also has a begging sound she makes. She does it when she wants to go to bed or if she can't get to me.


She is 10 months old.

Fluffy butt cracks me up!

Sammie also does the raspberry and kissing sounds.

NOT AT ALL!!!
Both birds are 17ish and I've had JoJo for almost 17 years and Georgie Girl for 12 years. JoJo is a runt at only 106g and only has one foot, but she has no problem instigating full on attacks on 148g Georgie Girl.

That's about what I would expect if other sennie are like Sammie.

Lasher won't talk, he mostly whistles and screams....but he will imitate laughs which is kind of funny

 

[MamaFuzz]

So far I've heard and made out:
Hello Indy
Hello
Good boy (Indy is a girl)
Girl
Weeee
No
What?
Wave
Pretty bird

Indy also does tongue clicks, my alarm clock, lots of purring, catcalls, and various whistles. Her favorite is a very suggestive whistle when you go to give her scritches. Not sure how I feel about that one yet.
