Female Max not talking yet

[Maroznia]

Just a quick question... when do female Max's begin speech? She is one year as of March 25. She whistles, laughs, dances, takes a shower, loves to be blow dryed, but not one word... we keep practicing simple words with her but she would rather have a scalp massage...LOL

She might not be a talker. I don't know if there's a female/male difference, but the male Pi we're looking at is already talking, and he's only 8 months.

Most birds can pick up words as soon as they can pick up other human noises, like "Huh?" or "Mmmmhmmm. . ."

I would simply suggest you keep practicing with her knowing that she may never be much of a talker.

Pi's arent known for there talking ability.
Their better at mimicing noise's rather than speech.
Some pick up words like nothing but most pi's Ive met arent talker's.
My pi mumbles a lot, says what and huh clearly but thats all...and like amiestgermain said you might not have a talker.

My female BW never talked in the 2 years I had her.
