THIS BIRD
>> Saturday, March 8, 2008
This is Ginger's new parrot. It was the most colorful thing I might have ever seen, and was without a doubt, the LOUDEST, screeching-ist animal I've EVER heard. He was friendly and excitable; I couldn't quit watching him, but I should have had earplugs and sunglasses!
If I remember / understood correctly, this screamer is a Sun Conure. I know very little about birds and parrots, and I thought they could all talk, but not this guy. At best, he can be trained not to scream so loud, so often.
Apparently, you have to get an African Grey (not so pretty and colorful as this bird) if you want a bird to chat with; or maybe a Quaker Parrot.
Ginger's got it covered with a talker though, as she also has a sweet young cockatiel, (like Sharon's birds), and that one can learn to 'speak'.
