Post: DYH not TalkingPosted by Dolly on 4/29/12
I have a double yellow headed amazon that I rehomed about
six months ago. She/He has settled in beautifully. I also
have a rehomed Eclectus hen named Ruby. She has been with
me for three years. I am amazed at the difference in their
personalities. Ruby is a sweet little snuggler but is a bit
of a couch potato. Goldie is a comic and is so funny. My
question is "can we teach older parrots to talk?". Ruby
called the dog (I don't have a dog) and had a sweet
feminine laugh when I got her. Now she says nothing.
Golding greets me with a happy hi every morning or if we
have company. He also says something with what sounds like
a Boston accent. he has a man's gruff voice. I talk to them
all the time. Being alone I can give them a lot of
attention. I don't know Goldie's sex or age. has anyone
been successful in teaching an old bird new
tricks(vocabulary)?
