Can a female parrotlet talk?

Postby Fportilla77 » Tue Aug 21, 2012 12:33 pm

I was just wondering if I can get my female pacific parrotlet to say hello or any other word? So can they talk?

I am skeptical that speech is sex based but rather individual parrot based even for parrotlets.

They say only male cockatiels can talk but I had a female who used to say hello.
I think females talking in some species are just less likely rather than impossible.
As for the parrotlets I see no reason why they can't learn the odd word. Just don't expect it to be clear.

I agree with marie on that one. I've spoken with two amazon breeders and one amazon fanatic (he had like 17 birds lol) and they all agreed that female amazons actually ended up speaking more. ;)

I do not think the sex matters. I've seen some pretty good female talking parrots!
