Yay!!!! That is so great! I wish my babies would learn something besides the screechy, off key singing that they do. It sounds like someone playing the violin really, really badly!

lol pebbles did that then one day he just blurted out pretty bird. i took an mp3 player that has a voice recorder on it recorded a bunch of words and songs on it and then downloaded them on my computer so everytime i leave i play it on a loop. he is picking them up rather quickly, now his dad cujo is learning the andy griffin theme song at a much slower pace he can blurt out the first couple of cords but that is it.

Hmmm. I might have to try that. My Grandma is very upset that none of my birds say Hello and everytime she sees them she says "Say Hello to me". I have heard Zeke say it twice when she wasn't around but that was about 6 weeks ago and he hasn't said it since. Maybe if they have to hear it all the time someone will say it just to shut it up, lol. ;)

You might have a female cockatiel. My female cockatiel can talk but not much. My male cockatiel can talk a lot but they say female can talk too but poorly.

I agree that Pebbles could still possibly be female - a friend of mine has a DNA confirmed female who was thought to be male by tons of people until the DNA results came back - anyway, she can talk, wolf whistle, and sings very pretty. So you could possibly still have a little girl on your hands.
