Babybird is another very intelligent budgie that speaks in incredible context. He is a budgie with a little bit of an attitude and plays on his mom Sherry's feelings sometimes to try and get what he wants. He is also a very loving little guy that needs the company of his mommy very much. In a couple of his recordings he is expressing his dislike for being by himself sometimes.
Babybird Baker is a male budgie who is 15 months old(2003). I'm Sherry, his mommy, I adopted him approximately a month ago. When he entered our family, he could say "Pretty Bird", but now has a vocabulary of many words, including "come here", "Babybird", "Kiss Kiss", "How you doing?", "What's up?" "Mommy", and "I love you". He is very observant when spoken to, and appears to be willing to learn. He is allowed to fly freely most of the time in our family room, where he enjoys to sit on our shoulder, give kisses, and tries very hard to drink beer. He tells us when he's tired by flying into his cage at the end of the evening. One of his favourite things is playing shadow boxing with daddy's thumb, he becomes very vocal during this play. During the day, we have a morning ritual where he sits on my shoulder and watches me as I reply to my emails. During this time I play his recordings and others, *especially Victor's* and he chatters back to the sounds. Babybird is my first budgie, and I look forward to a long, enjoyable future with him.

His Recordings are below:
In this recording Babybird shows a keen understanding of what role the bank plays in some peoples lives. He also mentions the importance of having a job and money.
Perhaps you though the last recording of Babybird talking about the bank was a little bit too hard to believe. How is it possible a budgie can understand the concept of money and banking. Well listen to this one, it is even more convincing.
Babybird imagines what it would be like to be attacked by a cat.
He talks about going for a train ride and leaving a love behind. You can hear a train whistle in the background from a railway crossing not far away.
