Charlie Chatterings

Been looking through some old videos of my Charlie, who I lost recently a few months before he turned 13. I think I had been away for a weekend or something when I filmed this and he was excited to have me back... he was probably about 8 or 9 here?

Either way, he was a very cute and funny budge! How much of his babbling and chatter can you decipher? 



He starts speaking more clearly at around the 30 second mark. Some of the things he says are "pretty boo, budgie boo, there you go!" and "you silly bird, Charlie!"

He is absolutely gorgeous and so full of beans…..can hear all those things…does he say..BW BOO or VW BOO…There you go Charlie.
I love his head bobbing he is so happy talking to your fingers …..a great little boy and lived to 13!

I think he's saying a mangled version of "I love you boo" in those moments. We're trying to compile a list of all the phrases he would clearly say at the minute (most of which he strung together him self, like "daddy's a pretty budge!"), think we're up to about 35-40 so far.

Yes can definitely hear that too, he is very clear…..I also have a Charlie who talks a lot, they are so funny with the things they put together aren’t they….better than watching the TV .

Many of us wish our budgies would talk to us like that! It is so special when we can see videos of the forum budgies chatting away.

That's a lovely video. It shows what a fabulous bond you had with Charlie. It's interesting hearing a budgie talking in a male voice. The other budgies I've listened to online have mimicked female voices.

So much talking. He was a very cute boy.
I couldn't work out what he was saying as I had 10 budgies doing there nuts and my 3 year old climbing on me trying to get close to the screen.
