phoenix44 Posted October 24, 2008 Report Share Posted October 24, 2008 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.

livingart Posted October 24, 2008 Report Share Posted October 24, 2008 more of an association of sound and action or prompt than an understanding of context or meaning Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
