Can Females talk as well as the males

I know in some species of birs the males are more vocal because it can become a courting behavior. What about IRNs???? :?:

Both sexes can be amazing talkers and have pretty much equal ability to do so. However as with any bird just because they can doesnt mean they will talk. Generally they start around a year old.

is it a bad sign that my bird is so quiet? She is 5 months old and i have had her for like three weeks? Are there any tricks?

Hi surferdon

No it isn't a bad sign they tend to do things in their own sweet time talking is just one of them my indy can go days with out a sound and then talk non stop for a week so don't worry.

I dont think any of us have had a baby that spoke at 5 months? Am I correct or no?

My very social six month old peeps out what I think is either 'hey' or 'treat' but she really hasnt began mimicing yet. Im not even sure she is saying anything. But, I think it is 'hey'
