My friend has some budgies and a pigeon or two at her home.

I'd love a pair of budgies, but I'm probably not ever going to get them

I have a cockatiel named George. He's 18 and can whistle and talk. I'm teaching him to whistle the theme from Andy Griffith currently but it's hard because I can't whistle!

Could you not play a recording and then just give him treats when he repeats it?

We watch Andy Griffith all the time. And I do try that but he's stubborn in his old age

Fair enough. I'd be stubborn too

Hell, I'm stubborn now and I'm not that old!

Cute! I would like to get her a friend soon, and I think I will name him Salsa.

That's so cute

I agree, just record it and play it on repeat (yes it may be annoying for you) soon enough he'll repeat it. That's how my mom taught daisy
