i have had 2 budgies when i stayed at my mums and one used to say all our names and spoke with my dads voice which at times was really creepy they used to play football all the time aswell they were great little girls i loved them.

our budgie Hooky is a real character his favourite saying is "who farted" LOL, he does that ch ch noise too really loudly when he wants some attention he knows if you want some pease and quiet you will have too talk to him, hes such a cheeky boy

my budgie Mr Potatoe is about 7 months old now and he has finally started to come to me when I call ("come here!") and then pecks at my hand to let me know if he is hungry.
Today I was calling the kids,shouting "com here!" and Mr Potatoe was the first to come to me, but as I wasnt holding out me hand, he landed on my head lol
when i want his attention, I wolf whistle and make a clicking noise,by clicking my tongue from the top of my mouth (similar to noises horse riders make to their steads) and he has started to mimic the clicking noises, but not the wolf whistle yet.
Also, his favourite perch outside the cage, is the lightshade, he will hang from it upside down by one leg, just looking at us, then he will crawl inside the lightshade and start attacking the lightbulb, making the high CH noises, pecking at it, as if to say, get out of my nest lol
what makes me laugh the most tho, is when he sits ontop the lightshade and tilts his head to one side, so he can get a good view of us ..or when his body is inside the lightshade, with just his head poking out the top, scanning around the room.
Weve only had him since about november, but already his very much part of the family and has such a great little character

mr potatoe LOL great name our budgie Hooky copies the clicking sound you make when scrambling eggs in a bowl with a spoon LOL, he comes when you call him too if you say his name he rushes over with his feathers all puffed up its very cute he wolf whistles, whistles the theme tune to the A Team and mimics a canaries song hes a great little talker know too he says merry christmas, wheres popsy, who farted, good boy hooky and gis a kiss (followed by the sound of a kiss) he really has become a part of the family

Hooky sounds like a lot of fun, how old is he ?
I cant wait for mr potatoe to grow more and talk/mimic more, and also become abit more confident, as right now he is easily scared (but not as much as he was)
Another thing that makes me laugh, is when mr potatoe runs across our laminate fooring, he runs at some speed, looking for things to eat or play with, and his feet make a really loud and fast tapping noise, i could sit and be amused by that for hours
If i tap my fingers on the floor, he thinks Im pecking up seed, so he comes running over,with this mad kind of duck waddle going on
I can see why they make excellent little birds for the elderly, they really do have amazing little characters, great little companions and comedians

hooky is four years old, the only thing he finds really REALLY scary is tissue paper and only if its white LOL i know that clicky sound you mean, we made a cardboard shelf in hookys cage that he likes to sit and chill out on and his nails make that funny clickity noise on it too LOL we have been trying to get him to say "cuppa tea" and he finally said it this morning YAY he always looks so proud of himself LOL

My youngest Budgie (1 year old) copys the house alarm, lol. Not the noise it makes when it goes off, but when we set it, he makes the sound of the noise from the certain numbers used he also puts it into a little "song" - when he's chirping away, he'll put that in, lol very cute.

sounds like a right little character, hmmmm....... and what might those numbers be LOL
