Talking Budgie Menu
Herbert the Budgie
Herbert is one of the budgies that Sarah is the guardian for. Sarah has a wonderful flock of budgies and she lives in Israel. She is also a member of the psittaliguistics committee. Herbert was only a few months old when he start to talk. His ability to talk in context so quickly solidified my theory that budgies are master communicators capable of learning our language about ten times faster then we can.
About Herbert from Sarah
Herbert was born in June, 2003. He is just starting to get his adult feathers. He was purpose-bred to be a talker. How? His father is an English show budgie and bred some show birds for me until his hen suddenly died. I noticed all the season that this cock budgie made all sorts of sounds all the time and seemed to have a "comment" on everything. I paired him with an American budgie type hen for vigor and to see if he would produce a chick that liked to "talk" as well. The two chicks they produced at the end of the season were hand-raised and kept alongside Binky. Both learned to talk right away. One chick was rebellious; but the other was snuggly. I kept the the cuddly one and named him Herbert. He is light gray normal color like a show budgie. He is a bird with his own ambitions, as well
Hear Herbert's Recordings Below
In this recording Herbert say he wants to make an alliance with humans so they can cooperate and change the way birds have been treated in the past.
In this one Herbert talks about the possibility of being reincarnated when we die
Herbert looks at being recorded as living forever. It likens it to being in the Olympic and winning a medal where you will never be forgot for your special skills.
He talks about the importance of winning and voting for the budgie of the month. He lets us know that he can be a good sport about it, but likes to win it as well.
To get the word out about talking budgies Herbert says that we should start speaking publicly more about their abilities.
