wow Spike is talking already thats amazing he is quite young isn't he under 4 mths, most don't learn till there older is it clear? any videos of it I would love to see that

It is clear When he gets excited it's pretty pretty pretty pretty bird He is just under 4 months, I estimated his hatch date as May 1st. He knows step up and down perfectly and is doing well with his flying trick, I say is Spike going to fly away and he flaps his wings He is doing great. Still has his hissy fits though

Bailee's first whistle was the wolf whistle, followed by the "come here" whistle. Spike sounds like a smart bird.

Spike does sound like a very smart boy good to hear he is doing great

Cheeky doesn't whistle..... I was told it was a bad thing to teach them, so I don't whistle around him at all.

He made noises, and regular tweeting before he spoke. His first words were "Pretty Bird", which then became "Cheek is a pretty bird", "A VERY Pretty Bird", and "Hello", and a few others.

I'm always working with him on his talking.

I was also told that if I got another tiel, that Cheeky would stop his talking...even if I got another that talked.

I think the thing with whistles is that you shouldn't teach them first if you want a talking tiel, you've got that so i think you can do whistles safely now!

Boomberry, a member here, has a talking/whistling tiel Noo and he still talks and whistles despite the presence of her 3 other tiels.

Lol hugs has this tune that is almost like pretty bird. I truly don't care if he never talk. I just love my boy. Pretty cool thats he talking. teach him to say i love you. That would be something to hear each day.

I will work on it

Oh I would love to teach Lea tricks like the flying trick! I am working on the hold hands trick that I taught Bobby but she isn't interested in learning at the moment, her main objective in life is to chew things!!!

Spike said I love you he also said good boy and what are you doing and he laughs like my Mom I can't believe he is learning so fast. He steps up and down and can flap on command too. I am too proud of him Oh and Bea I love your photo with Bailey in a helmet He probably will want to get one. Glad he is doing much better.

Spike's such a smarty!! Would love some video of him if your camera can take little video clips.

I have one but I am not very good at putting pictures up. So I don't know about videos mabey one day I will try and video tape it. Right now he mainly talks when he can't see me but Iam working on getting him talking with me completley in sight. I wonder why he only talks in his cage, he is super quite when on my shoulder.

Probably trying to get your attention - Bailee used to be like that too.

Spike is a cool bird. Glad he can say so many words my earl is only 6 weeks but trying to teach him to say "hello".

I can't wait until he says it outside of the cage too
