I'm a firm believer that the speaking ability of any bird
depends ALOT on who is teaching it to talk,and how it was
raised.My mother has a Mitred conure that has a frightening
vocabulary.Once my mother stepped on a piece of glass while
passing the cage,I kid you not,she started cussing,the bird
said "Oh my,did you hurt your foot?"
She also says things like "Be Gentle!" when we are clipping
someone's wings,or "I'm Thirsty! I want some Orange
Juice!"..the worst is when you pass in front of her with wet
hair,she'll say "Did you take a shower?"
I had a Meyers that had about a ten word vocabulary,and I
bet he could have picked up alot more.
Someone spent alot of time teaching that bird,be thankful!!
