My daughter managed to catch some fabulous video of Pippin, our 3yo budgie, talking. :)



(This is my first attempt with movie maker so be kind! ;) )

Hee - he's SO cute!! ^.^ I love how they start making up their own sentences out of the phrases they know.

I know! It amazes us when he rearranges words to make up sentences that actually mean something! eg: we always talked to him about 'your Luna, Pippin's Luna' etc. and he turned it around and calls her 'MY Luna'. O.o
Actually his full phrase is 'my beautiful darling Luna', (which we did not teach him) which he abreviates to "my beaw dar Loo." XD

So cool! I was just about to ask how much he manages to put into context. I've never been around a talking bird, so I'm always amazed by your budgie videos. *grin*

It's almost spooky how much he says in context. First time I noticed it was when I happened to be making a salad for dinner, and his cage was nearby, and he looked very pointedly and excitedly at the greens and said "Yummy!" So I held some up to him and got a "YUMMY! YUMMY!"

Now he says something in context almost daily. Like he'll be sitting on my hand or shoulder, quietly chattering, tilt his head to watch Luna nearby, and say, "Look at Luna."

But there's nothing more heartmelting than hearing him say "I love you!" with feeling and know he means exactly what he said.
