This is the place to talk about the Darnedest things your birds have said!

Are you a pumpkin?


He made the sentence all on his own, from other sayings.

Cute

My best one is Boo coughing and coughing and sounding like he is dying and Paulie saying Bless you!

And when Steve and I get too loud while talking to one another, Harley will belt out sometimes "what sho problem"...

And if you cough, he is going to cough....If you laugh, he is going to laugh....

Oh well, can't help but love the little devils...........

Louie frequently asks 'Whatcha doin? I was cleaning his cage one day and he asked me this. I just answered him and explained that I had to clean his cage because he made so many poopies all over. His reply. "Louie good boy" I couldn't help but laugh at him.

Boo will yell and scream and holler help and right afer his fit say Good Boy.

the only thing that comes to mind is when my mother's 'too was sitting over my shoulder while i was cuddling a 6 week old chick and she goes "whats that?" and i said its a baby, and she goes "oh hello baby, Shhhh" stinker never says much more that "whatchya doing" and "oooo love me tooooooo"

Mr. Tweeters sais, "Hey Baby!" Thanks to my husband (typical males)

haha those are all funny..........

peanut just rambles on always well he was practicing his words and phrases the other day when he decides to put two of his phrases together.......

phrase #1. I'm gonna kick your @$$
phrase #2. I promise

Paulie has 2: when im on the computer or the phone he beas out with: wha'cha doin?

and the other one is
I didint do it!! (clearly knowing he did do "it" and i or hubby saw him do "it"...lol

My favorites that Angel says are:

(kissy sound) love you
when you reply the same he says
Thank you

Here kitty, kitty, kitty
I da bird!
What cha doing
Whats up doc


My least favorite is

Your a buttcrack!

Dobby has heard me ask "whatcha doing" and "what's going on?"

So he says, "Whatcha doin' going on?"

I love it when they get things mixed up.

Sméagol is a chatterbox .. He talks and talks and talks and talks and talks and talk ......

One day Perk hollered .. "Sméagol! Who ya talken to?"

Too funny ROFL!!

Shrek only says 'hello shrekie', but not very often.

I clicker train my birds, and whenever my budgie hears a 'click' he says: Good Boy!

I was sitting at the computer this morning working my tail off and as usual Paulie was saying things like Good morning, what's your name, whatcha doing and so on.

Out of the blue he asked "where's Mommy" (Ok I am directly across from him when I am on the computer and he really had no reason so ask where's mommy. Hubby replied "she ran away" To which Paulie replied very matter of factly "There she is"

My milo says:
dot tah da daaah. oh my gosh he's funny.
mommy's boy
and
papa
all kinds of stuff really but these are my fav.

lots of kisses and sounds like a chicken. lol pushes he's neck out when hes makeing the chicken sound.

When we are on the phone stendeck will sit there nodding his head and saying "yes, uhuh, yeah," over and over.
If we are a bit late getting off to work he will start running up and down his branches shouting "goodbye see ya lata" think he likes to have the house to himself by 9am. Charming ey!

I recently adopted an older Quaker and it has been fun to hear him say all his stuff- UNTIL I went to get my tiel out and he hollered- "Doooooon,t Do IT!!!" over and over. Needless to say, Daffy didn't do it. That was the first time in a very long time my tiel didn't step up!

Not that I have my bird yet, but I have to share.

A friend of mine has a pet shop and her bird, Paco, stays with her there. She was telling me the other day that anytime they vaccuum or if she is holding another bird-Paco will yell HELP over and over!

Well my Sun conure fell off her cage the
other day onto the floor and Cheeky our
QP said "step up" lol that was funny!

All those are so cute and adorable. I can't wait to get my little Quaker baby and hear him say his first words!

Sonny, my adopted Grey, used to live in a house with a man and his wife. The wife was a bit klutzy and when she would trip or drop something she would shriek and the husband would call "You OK?" Sonny imitates the both of them: first the wife shrieking, then the husband asking if she is ok (in female and male voices, respectively). It's hilarious

LMAO. all your birds syings are soo funny espescially that buttcrack one.. Thats bad but funny. I wish i could share one with all of you but unfortunatly im still anxiously waiting for my little one to arrive. i cant wait. Do all quakers talk? I hope mine says funny little things too.

well , i just had to add what Rico has to say here, we ended up with rico about a year or so ago, and well, i was still working on my potty mouth, and not used to having a bird that can and will repeat things. I had gone in and given Rico a treat one day, and he ate his treat while on my shoulder , then walked down towards my elbow and promptly bit me. I of course responded with "oh my god what the "bleep" I give you a treat and ya bit me, well..... 3 weeks later company comes from out of town.... Rico greets them (in his cage) and goes Pretty boy pretty boy what the bleep! He also barks like the dogs, tells them to go to the kennel, yells MOM to get my attention, and or each and every kids name to get their attention.

Grace, my congo grey, talks a blue streak. But usually she clams up for strangers...


The other day my sister that I don't like so much invited herself over and was being a little pushy with the birds. She doesn't always listen when I say "That means so and so doesn't want to be held" or "Don't pick up so and so because they have been bitey today" or whatever.

Well, I told her to leave Pablo alone because he was sick and had been very naughty all day. But she started walking over to his cage anyway. And then Grace said, clear as a bell, "Don't do it! Don't do it!"

And I started laughing, which annoyed my sister, so she put her hand out for Pablo, and Grace said "No! No! NOOOOO!" The third time she was REALLY loud.

It was too funny.

Then my sister picked up Pablo (can't take a hint, huh?) and he bit her!







I love my birds

OOOOOOOOOOo that is too funny!! So did you bite your tongue or did you say "They told you so!!!"

Boy I need to read these everyday. It's quite a pick-me-upper
my tummy hurts from laughing so hard!!!!

Tobias my CAG says alot of things when he wants to, but one day we had a living room full of teenagers and he told them "Stop smoking cigarettes!" Nobody is allowed to smoke in my house but maybe they smelled like smoke. I know that his previous owners, the husband smoked and had emphazema so I'm sure Tobias had heard the guys wife say that to him alot.
tikileahsmom

Billy say's allot of stuff but my all time favorite so far anyway was the other day
when him and my b/f were on the floor playing and i was video taping him , Tryin to get his Chicken sounds on tape ( already got his duck and dog sounds)

and Billy asked my Boyfriend " whatcha doing?" My boyfriend replied with " tryin to get you to make a chicken sound, What are you doing?" Billy replies: " I don't know, I don't know" while running around in circles bobbing his head

Now i've only had him since June 17th BUT that's the 1st time i've ever heard him say " I don't know " and he said it plain as day

and if it was not somthing he said before ( i adopted him from a member of this site and he's 12 yrs old) I can almost garuntee he picked that one up from one or both of my kids,
since that is thier answer to almost every question they get asked and they're 7 & 9 1/2 LOL

Lyric (Quaker) and I were at the local bird shop for our grooming appointment. The shop owner had her large Cockatoo, Peaches, in the back with us. When the owner pulled a large feather off of Peaches and made her scream, my little Lyric began to laugh hysterically!

mine squawks & chirps up a storm too and there's always some "good boy"s and "pretty boy"s thrown in there for a while that was the only time he would ever say pretty boy at all!



that's hysterical! I think greys can actually mimic the exact sound of people's voices too can't they?

as for mine, when he wants off of his cage and he sees me, he says c'mere and then when I go to him he starts saying hello!

Our QP "Pal" has alot of different speaking patterns.
Whenever someone goes to answer a ringing phone he says "hello"
After you finish your phone call he says "talk to you later" as you are hanging up.
We have a base citizens band radio at the house and he hears alot of the chatter that goes on.
Whenever my wife picks up the microphone Pal says "Hey mechanic, got a copy?"
Mechanic is my "handle" so he's heard her say it lots of times.
Oddly enough out 'Tiel says "hey mechanic, got a copy" too!

Me too!
I want a Baby Qp so bad.

My favorite from Cracker is she starts barking like my chihuahua and unless I'm in the room i can't tell who it is

So, my friend Kristen and I always say "Lindsay and Kristen ROCK!" So Tito picked up on it, and for a while was saying "Lindsay and Kristen Rooooock!!" Then, he started shortening things, "Whatcha dooin" turned into "Doin?" "Step up" was "tep?", so "Lindsay and Kristen Rock turned into "ROOOCK!". Well today, he re-lengthened it to

"**Gibberish* *Gibberish* AND KRISTEN ROCKS!"

"Yeah. what about me, Tito?"

"Tito, too!"

"And Lindsay"

"Linsday's a dumb butt!"

Yeah, thank's mom. He really needed to learn that!

These are so funny and too cute!

My Kiwi calls me Mimi and yells for me...sort of quiet at first, then louder and louder. If I don't answer her, she yells "WHAT, KIWI!"

She barks like the tiny Poodle her previous owner had and cries like a day-old human baby. When she cries, Bo laughs hysterically!

When my Blue Front was alive, she yelled "Boatwreck" if something scared her.

She hated my DH, but when he had food, she 'd say "Oooooh, you're a pretty girl" and fly down off her perch to have some of it. He called her a hypocrite. She had a HUGE vocabulary.

Debra Kerr, the actress, had a yellow nape and a DoubMexY Head. One would say "Come on over Darlin' and the other immediately answered "Don't you darlin' ME!"

Lol love this thread! It really is remarkable how smart these birds are isn't it. When we first got my Grey Dorian he was about 8 years old and already talking well. We set his cage up in the living room and of course our cat had to investigate. Immediately upon seeing the cat Dorian fluffed up and said with eyes flashing "Warning, Warning! Danger Danger!" from the Lost in Space movie. I thought that was so cute but just coincidence until within just a few weeks he added, "Warning Warning! Danger Danger! Whistle (for calling the dog) Here Bandit (my dogs name) Birds Out!" (which is what I always said when I chased the cats out of the room when I had the birds out of their cages). It worked beautifully too as bandit would come running and chase the cats.

These stories are too cute. I have to add my own and hope you see the humor as I do. When zipper was younger he'd quack kinda..like a duck...So I used to say quack quack I'm a duck. Then I started to teach him say ..I'm a chicken hawk...sometimes he got confused and would say quack quack I'm a chicken duck

Yesterday, Trixie (my Quaker) asked for a pickle..."I want a pickle" she said. I have NO idea why or how she said it...she's never eaten a pickle...and I don't remember having any lenghty pickle discussions recently....she must have heard it on tv..

Now she's starting saying "ouch!!" when I tap her cage when mopping around it..

Jake, my Chihuahua like to play fetch....Trixie does to..."readddddyy....go get it"..she tell him..

She calls my dad "Foyd"..(his name is Floyd)..every night she tells him.."good night night foyd..wuv you"

This is the bird that has some sort of spell if you feed her anything but her regular food (though I did learn the other day she can still eat boiled rice!). Anyhow, when we used to give her mashed potatoes and stuff she'd go and touch it with her beak and say "it's hot"

She calls us "stupid" (or tupid) now..thanks to my brother's last visit..lol..thanks for the lesson, Tony!!

My favorites:

"you gonna be gooood?"..."huh?"..."be goooood awight"..to anyone..

You get her to arguing..act your going to hit "mommy"..she will cuss you out..tell you to be gooood..."no bite"..and just babble on and on..you can tell she's fussing at you, but you can't tell everything she's saying, it's hilarious..(a got to be there kind of thing I guess.)

And my all time favorite. "give me a kish...pease"..her kiss is rubbing nose/beak..the whole time she's going "a kish".."awwwww"..it's the sweetest thing on earth:)

What I find the most amusing is when Maj will land and say "OW" or "DXMNIT"

Also one day I was in the bedroom folding clothes with my DH, I thought Maj had already went to sleep but the next thing I know I heard myself laughing. DH said if I wasn't sititng next to him quiet he would have sworn I was in the other room laughing histerically.

And this one wasn't my baby but I used to visit this Animal rescue quite often, it was a "Zoo/Animal rescue" All the animals there were either hurt in some way and couldn't be released back into the wild or something along those lines. So they opened it to the public so the money could help pay for their care and food etc. Anyway they had this huge red mccaw who at one time had belonged to a fire dept I guess or lived near a fire dept. The zoo was set up out in the open so smoking was allowed in designated areas which happened to be near the mccaw area. Anyway "Archie" as his name plack displayed piped up one day when I was there with my ex who was a smoker and had just light up "WHERE'S THE FIRE" and let out this SCREEEECH. OMG I laughed for days about that bird.

The funniest thing my bird has said i can not say on here but here is one thing he says to me alot when he wants out of his cage and I am doing dishes or cooking: He will start off with HEY and I will say what Harley and then he will say come here and I will go no not right now mommy is busy and the he says You want to go out good boy get out go out! He hears me saying that to the dogs when its time for them to go out and now he says it he also barks like everyone of my dogs and laughs just like me lol hes a funny lil boy

ok i can finally contribute! yay!

ok, louie the QP just started to talk. i call his name and he answers, "whaaat?" sometimes goofy the CAG will make a noise and louie will say, "whaat?"

goofy, on the other hand, is a chatterbox. we were warned when we got him that he knew the f word. well the other day my daughter was home (snow day) and apparently goofy was moving around his cage and bonked his head on a toy. he called it a f-er. yesterday he was in his cage and just unleashed the f-er about 10 times in a row. i had to tell him that was inappropriate...

yesterday i was in another room and i heard him say, "there ya go. i love you." then a smoochie sound. another time he positioned his bottom off the edge of his cage door then pooped. right after that, he said, "uh oh"

my fave tho, is whenever the cat comes around and goofy is out, he gives the cat the stinkeye and makes a fart noise.

My Boo never shuts up! I'm home all day and he entertains himself by singing 'Twinkle Twinkle Little Star'. He's got it down pretty good. When the dogs bark he tells them to "go get in your bed."
"go potty" AFTER he has already pooped
"Don't be ugly" when he is not minding
"Don't bite mama"
Bedtime ritual is of course "nite nite" then "mama loves Boo","Boo loves mama", The list goes on and on. I am usually in a wheel chair. Occasionally when I'm standing or walking I will trip and fall. Boo makes the most horrific sounds like sceaming and saying oooooo and no noooo nooooooo. While I am pulling myself back into the chair he has sound effects going on that sound like someone is dying. I think he watches too much television.

Len will imitate the phone ring when we walk out of the room and he wants us to come back. The fire alarm imitation in the morning to wake us up that Quake and Len both do. Ouch is a current favorite when I am about to trip or walk into something, and the sneezing imitation really gets me because they won't stop tell we say bless you. His favorite game while playing thanks to my mom is to holler whee when he is hanging upside down from his favorite toy and spinning in a circle.

Quake also loves Good girl now since when i say that and she has been out and playing/training she gets a pumpkin seed treat. If i do not get her out at this point for at least a couple step ups and a treat need I say Earplugs are optional?

If I yell at the dogs for something, or yell at one of the cats, Saby our Red Lory Parrot will yell, B-A-A-A-A-A-A-D BIRDIE!! He doesn't know how to say bad dog, but he knows SOMEONE'S being bad! It's so funny! First time he did it I coulda died laughing!

I have lost count of Boogies words and phrases. We had hoped a few of the words he had learned at his previous home had been forgotten, but NO We ask Boogie if he is a happy bird to get him started singing happy birdday which works nearly 100% of the time except for last week. My wife asked Boogie if he was happy, and Boogie responded with "Boogie is a happy F'ing bird" We make it a point to ignore the bad words, and even find words that sound similar showing no reaction, but this was just too funny with his timing and excecution of it.

Santi gets quite cranky if I keep her up past her self-appointed bed time. SHe proceeds to call deafeningly into my ear and if anyone dares to talk tome, let alone touch me, when she wants to go to bed she absolutely flips out. She will run after them and try to bite, all the while going through her entire vocabulary, gthe funniest being kisses and 'good girl'. Once after she got my little brother reall well, I could have sworn she was laughing. It took all my effort to not laugh myself, it was so well placed and funny!

What a fantastic thread! So FUNNY!

Smartie comes out with some corkers!

My cockatiel lands clumsily off her cage: Smartie says "Ouch!"

He can say "Ya dumb birrd", then after a moment's pause, "GOOD birrd".

When I was trying to teach him monkey sounds. After my best rendition he looked at me for a moment then announced, "You're funny!"

My son was holding him and some Chinese girls walked past chatting in their language and Smartie started copying them and then laughed! My anti-racist son was extremely embarrassed.

The funniest one is his impersonation of a cow having just eaten a sour blackberry. It's hilarious! I wish I could video it. It came about because I was showing him the blackberries near our house. I ate one first and it was so sour I flinched backwards. For some reason it only took one look at me to "get" to him. The next one I offered him, he flinched back dramatically then swooned sideways one way and then the other. It was very funny. Every blackberry he tried had him doing this little hammy routine. Well the next thing was we turned around and there was a cow standing behind us. Then the cow gave a series of moos. Smartie mooed as well. The next blackberry I offered him began with the reeling, swooning routine and finished with a neck-stretched-forward "Mmmrrrrrrr!" He does it regularly now and it's always such a laugh. It's even funnier when you know that he actually IS being a cow having just eaten a sour blackberry.
