And a Normal Grey Cockatiel named BB who came home with me on 5/20/2016.
... Just curious here folks... How long did it take your 'tiels to start flappin' their gums....errrr...beaks :p

BB has been here four months as of the 20th and he is only 8.5 months old. He prolly started "talking" two months ago?? I dunno...I'm old and can't remember that far back :rolleyes: :p

Some of his words are as clear as day.. "what are you doing?" "Hi BB"..."where you going?" and he mumbles a couple new ones too " my name is BB" "how are you".

His whistling however is awesome! I love listening to his rendition of the andy Griffith theme while he also throws in a couple wolf whistles in to mix it up lol...plus he is very talented in making up his own stuff.

I really can't believe what a fun,loving,playful,smart little guy he is.
Never knew cockatiels could bring so much laughter and joy lol.

My Lucky use to say Pretty Bird really clearly.
at some point in 15 years he stopped talking and just whistles now.
 
Awwww cute.... I would LOVE to hear/see it on video! :D

BB is very talented that he can do those things. ""Nut can't talk at all haha

I've never had a tiel who could talk but my aunt/uncle's tiel named "Newton" they had many years ago could say "pretty bird" very clearly and also said his name.
