LOL!!!!!! @Chopper thats funny & Cute. but yeah they can talk up a storm but I've never seen one out of the dozens and dozens of parakeets we've had over the years that talked but look up talking parakeet on youtube sure you'll find plenty lol

She is really a very sweet bird to talk to and look at but I can't hold her cause she bites. So I don't mess with her that way and don't care too either. She loves her perch near the window. We had two and she never seemed very happy then. When the other one died she really seemed to pirk up.

unless shes laid eggs...dont be suprised if SHE is actually a he...
male keets are much more likley to talk than females.

the record for words knows is held by an english budgie (parakeet) named puck! he knew 1728 words!

We realized yesterday that one of the sounds that Chopper makes is his impression of our dogs barking!

LOL! Just hope he doesn't like the sound of your phone. Our cockatiel does a fabulous phone ringing and also likes to knock on his wood perch simulating a door knock.

I used to have a parakeet and he had a vocabulary of about 80 words. He talked more than any of the parrots that I have now (african grey, senegal and a crimson bellied conure).

My moms parakeet says over 100 phrases.
he knows all of our names and will follow whichever one he decides to say with "smells"
Sadie go potty
good morning sweetheart
how are you
sexy
good boy
hello
and so many more things. And he mixes them all up too,
so there are probably a thousand different versions of his phrases that he can say.
He also picks things up off of the tv.
She works with him every day to learn new things.
He was my bird, but my husband threatened to let him outside because he thought that he was too noisy.

Male parakeet's are excellent mimics, sound's like yours if off to a good start, keep teaching him and you'll be amazed at how quickly they can pick up a new word or phrase.
