Can a magpie be kept as a pet?

can they actually talk 2 you? or just repeat sounds. do they associate the words with their meanings or just spout off crap they have learned randomly

most birds will verbatim repeat things you say without knowing the meaning.. over time you can teach it the context of the word. like rusty says hello when he meets new ppl... not just as ppl are leaving...

:lol:

depends on how much, how well and more importantly how CONSistently you train them.... you have to follow through.. always.

My flatmates wont let me have it :(

Does anyone else want it?

sure they will!

just turn up with the bird... tell them its a long beaked lorikeet or something.. lol... then when it gets feathers tell them u don't know how that happened!

honestly they are such good birds.. i'd take him happily if i didn't have rusty...
