i have a bird that can talk away all night, BUT somtimes i feal mean on him as he is on his own (as in he doesnt have another birdie friend!). he has the cat which jump's on the table with him and he shouts at, but is not scared off he gives as good s he gets lol. Anyway....if i got him a friend is it true that they will stop talking in human language because he now has a little friend? i have heard this a few times but i have never known if it is true or not??? Any help much Appreciated

Glad you posted a little update on this. I wasn't thinking about getting another bird, but I wondered if I did, would it stop the one I've got, speaking and being so human-friendly, and it turns out it probably would ! No birdy friends for Pom-pom then ! Think we best just stick to chirpy friends on here.

Thanks for that!
i did have him a friend for a 4 weeks, when we rescued another bird but i had to find it a home he stoped talking as much and i thought if he has another friend for good then he will stop all together!

Hi Lizzie I dont think you have to threat about the bird not talking as long as you keep talking to him after you get the new bird he'll still chat away. It sounds like he is quite content being on his own if he chats all the while. but I realy dont think that you will have any problem with him but introduce the other bird slowly to him and dont forget to still give him the attention he has been used to cause he could get a we bit jealious. I hope I've helped a little best of luck in whatever u decide
