Bellamy spoke alot faster when first started (like he was nervous) but he goes at a much more normal pace now. I think the key is consistance on your part. When ever Bellamy say something I say it back in my reply; it's really helped his clarity. For example:
"I wanna eat! You too eat!"
"You want to eat lunch? Well, we'll both eat soon."
"We too eat."
"Yes, we'll both eat." |

Aww, Bellamy sounds very smart!! Yes, sadly most of them are kept in tiny cages all day with only seeds to eat, and not a toy in the cage  because they're cheap. |

I know, it's terrible . I'm just glad there are people who DO understand budgies. I hope more people will learn from us. I'm VERY proud of Bellamy (How could you NOT know!?) and I love to tell people about him!
BTW, my aunt was amazed to find out that "...A little parakeet could do all that!" |

Oh! Maybe there is merit to that after all.. I never really tried having a conversation with my previous bird anyway, so maybe thats why I thought he wouldn't learn what the words meant  Bellamy sounds like a little smarty  |

i think some of Bellamy's smarts come from being read to. I've read to him ever since I got him and we still read almost daily. It's funny because he likes to read to me to: he will say "Me too read" and then look at the book and budgie babble  !!! |

Ummmm after looking through your page Sir Bellamy's lady... I am going to say that Sir Bellamy is actually Madam Bellamy... she's girl. an out of breeding condition girl.
She's a very smart girl though!!  amazing how much they can pick up if you are persistent with it. it'll be cool if we can hear her talk too. |

But when they were caught, weren't they be-heaeded, or boiled in oil?

He actually IS a boy. His cere is a lovely pale purple colour and the other day he tried to mate with my hand. My camera's flash really washes him out. Sorry for the confusion ! |

if the camera washes him out, I guess that could mean hes a boy.
but just for the record,I pale purple cere means girl I think. And also I think girl birds can mate with things like people, toys and so on.
John I didnt know about that, the school teacher never told us that part! lol |

Sue, you mean my fig? oh, she hardly ever talks she said "Whatcha doin?" once, and "Pretty Bird" a couple times. She loves her bird calls (especially the toy robin) and does them a lot, but is quiet whenever I film her!!
I'm going to video tape my friends budgie. He can say "Hello Pretty Bird" "kiss kiss" and "whatchadoin?" |
