Just in case anyone really wanted 9 parrots.

I figured I should share these here too.

This is the entire household, with most of the talking coming from Schrödinger, my scarlet macaw, and Kyklos, my DYH amazon.

This one's just Schrödinger.

No, they're not that loud all the time, but boy, when they get going, it makes your head spin.

what's schrödinger's vocabulary like? he sounds like he's just mumbling, but definitely sounds like he talks up a storm!

[bloolark]

He says "Hello", "Oh my God", laughs hysterically, says "Noire" (that'd be the name of my doberman puppy), and "Ow!"

He's clearly working on a few more things, one of which I know ("Jaguar!" because we've decided that when he grabs his foot in his beak and yodels, it's because he's playing that a jaguar has his foot, so every time we've seen him do it, we yell "A JAGUAR A JAGUAR", and he's picking it up rapidly), but a lot of what he does is still babble. He's also only a year and a bit though, so he's still a silly baby.

one of mine says "ow!" but he expands it so the middle of it sounds like he's shrieking, its more like ooooow! with the middle o's very high pitched, lol. i love it so much when they talk, and i love hearing them pick up new phrases. the mumbling bothers me so much because they repeat themselves, and i just can't manage to make out what they say!

milo's a little younger than schrödinger, and he says only a few words, too. good to know he's not all that far off, haha.

Keep in mind that it's also all the bird. Some parrots pick up tons of words, some only a few, some none at all. As an example, my blue and gold says 'hello', and laughs, and nothing else, and he's 20. :)

that sounds so charming though, for some reason, hehe.
