Yes, most of my birds talk...aside from my finches. My Umbrella Cockatoo says, "Hey, Baby" and "She's a pretty, pretty bird" among other things. My African Grey has a wide vocabulary and among his favorite phrases are, "What are YOU looking at, hmm?" and "Can I tell you secret, Hollywood? *whispering noises*" and "What does a monkey say, Hollywood? *monkey noises*" My cockatiel sings, "Just My Baby Chicken." And, says, "He's a good, Chicken." He is kind of rough on the pronunciation, but he tries. I also have a Hyacinth Macaw who came to me from an abusive situation and he is learning to say, "Hello, Chuck." And, a Baby Sulfur-Crested Cockatoo that has just learned a few whistles.
