Default What words does your bird say?

I was thinking about all the phrases and words that Kady comes out with. The list is getting quite long. Kady will carry on conversations for a period every afternoon. Kita on the other hand doesn't say too much.

What words or phrases do your birds say?
Do you think they know what they're saying or are they just repeating?
Do you notice a difference between male and female as far as talking ability?

Ollie understands almost everything, and will say it in context. For example- she'll say "step up" probably 30 times a day just to herself, but the majority of the time she will also say it when I stick my finger in front of her to step up.

Ollie says all sorts of things. I need to compile a list- its getting to where I can't remember everything!

My most interesting list is from Mr Buddy. When we first got him he said a lot of things I cant repeat here! But his first few days of chatting was interesting. Things like "Hey! Wanna go for a ride? Where's Calypso? Is that dog barking? Why is that dog barking" He always asked for "ssssoda! sssssoda!" I told him, "You wont be getting any of that here pal!" He stopped asking. He calls out for someone named Jordan all of the time. Last week it was "Jorrrrdan! Bring Buddy down...okaaaaay?" followed by "Jordan! Oh look, Jordan is up early today! Step up, step up Buddy. Ok Ive done that before" These things amaze me since I have no idea where he spent the first six years of his life. The list goes on and on. The crazy thing is, he laughs when my husband and I are talking at appropriate times. I really do believe he understands everything.

Buddy sounds hilarious! I too think they know what's going on and can understand us when we talk.

I know I'm forgetting a bunch, but here is a partial list.... I haven't yet figured out Red's less clear words, because he's in that stage where he doesn't want to talk to me, he just wants to be petted, so I can only hear him talking from the other room. They DO use words appropriately... sometimes they even start laughing at a joke before the humans do....

Silk is starting to mumble abit, she makes a laughing sound that cracks me up because it sounds just like my laugh. Mullani says three words, What ya doing "Whatchadoing?" over and over again without a breath in between.

Roxie's vocabulary isn't real big yet ... she seems to say things like "Alright?" and "I love" at the right times. There are so many phrases and words she tries to say that I can't make out quite yet. I think today she tried to say "what are you doing?"

Her list so far:

Hello (she says this two different ways - she says it like we do when we answer the phone and she also says it with a British accent like a birdie she watches on youtube)
Hi
Bye-Bye
I love or I love rah (can't seem to say her whole name)
MMM-mmmm
Alright?
What ??!!

She tries to say good birdie, and peek-a-boo is getting clearer, she yells WOOOOOO!, sneezes exactly like me, makes the smacky kiss noise and the "OOOOM-AH!" kiss, she does a funny little roar while we play on the floor or on the bed, she can whistle but can't do anything with it LOL. And she laughs all the time.
