Talking CAG makes female canary call - sending my male canary to sing up a storm !

My African Grey learned the female canary call.... as in the spring my girl canary was calling out her loud note to her mate.

Now that spring time is done, the eggs laid, chicks fledged, - my female canary is not calling to her mate. But my African Grey parrot is !

I think she calls my male canary just to get him singing so much. The poor canary sings on overdrive once my African Grey gets him going !!! I am confident my CAG knows exactly what she is doing !!!

It's cute. And I don't mind, except maybe sometimes at 4:30am ! LOL

Oh that is too cute.

I have the same issue with my Parrotlets & CAG. This spring my Male Parrotlet was singing his heart out to impress the yellow Female Parrotlet. Well you guessed it my CAG picked it up & there was an ensuing competition of male tweets except the CAG sounds were like 100x's louder...

That is too cute...my Caique thinks he;s a grey, and gets them all going!
and then yells at them all and tells them they are BAD!

LOL! She's gonna drive that poor boy crazy! You may have to make him some little canary sized ear muffs so he can get some rest!
