Polly Want A Cracker? No, I Prefer Parakeet Food.

An interesting fact about the parakeet, regarding their ability to mimic sounds and appear to talk. They can be taught to say a number of words, but the females seldom if ever talk. It's mostly the males. This happens to be a female because the color of the cere above the beak is pinkish. If the cere is bluish the parakeet is male. That being said, this parakeet probably would not answer you, but if you could read her mind, this is what she may be thinking.
