Have a b/g macaw about 8 months old. he isn't much of a talker (or a screamer which is real good for me) was wondering how long it took other birds to start talking. when was your babies first word?

I have a B&G & a Greenwing & the B/G is saying only 3 words & is 2.5 yrs but we don't work on it. The GW which is 9 months older only says 2 words & has just seemed to pick those up from the B/G. Like I said we don't work on it, we just love em. The Congo grey we have says approx. 50 words & whole sentences. So there you go.

Hi I have a 5yr old B&G . She started talking around 4 month. She talks like a african grey. Her father is a good talker to. we got he very young and had raised her. my wife talked to her all the time when she was young like josie was our child. I think thats why she talks in my wifes voise
