My timneh turned 2 on tuesday, and he just started talking
about a month ago. We had to board him for a few days at a
bird boarding facility and he came back saying all sorts of
things that he had picked up from the other birds. Since
them he has displayed a variety of words, in
context......almost like the content was in his brain but it
had not occured to him to try and make the sounds. Perhaps
you can help your bird by allowing it to spend time with
birds already talking? Good luck.
