Tp (Tweetie Pie)

My budgie is called Tp he is 4-5 months old and he was the last one out of the nest in my aviary. He didn't really like humans and he squawked a lot. I started to handle him when he was kicked out of the nest by his mum. Soon he was falling asleep on me and sitting on my shoulder. Tp sleeps in his cage and come out for most of the day so we have to make sure we keep the windows closed.

 

My mum started whistling at him every morning shortly after he started copying her. We wanted to get him to start talking and we realised that his mirror stopped him to talk as he thought it was another bird. As soon as I removed the mirror he started making sounds but we didn't know what he was saying. After a while he started saying "Wheres Sophie" and "Hello"over and over again. We are trying to teach him more words but it does take time.

 

Here are some pictures of Tp and his Mum and Dad
