Betty was Victor's mate for approximately 3 months before he died. During that time she picked up much of his vocabulary. Unfortunately, because she learned so quickly and was exposed to new budgies too fast, she did not get a chance to practice her pronunciation as much. As a result she kind of chirps the word out. This is common in budgies that have not had a long enough period of time to practice speaking the human language, before they are exposed to another budgie and start speaking their language instead. Right now Betty has three male friends, Topper, Toovic and Amber and they all talk in context but chirp the words out like Betty.
Here are some of Betty's best recordings when she was at her peak in talking shortly after Victor died.
In this recording Betty gets upset with me for speaking angrily at my son.
In this recording Betty comments about how she doesn't like humans commenting about her brain and how it works
Betty tells us how she dislikes it when people joke with her. She definately does not have a sense of humour like Victor.
Betty has a problem and tries to console with Victor in the afterlife
In this one Betty again calls on Victor from the afterlife to help her through a problem of trust that she is having with people. Betty often believed she could call on Victor any time she had a problem by just talking to him.
