Incidentally if you want your parrots to speak, general advice is to refrain from teaching them to whistle until they’ve mastered words - but the way I see it is that they use they can use either their whistle or vocalisation as a contact call

@@Iamgizzmo Really? That makes me very happy. Lip Lip and Babish will be pleased too. (They're great-grandparents now with twenty something children of their own!)
Im his little brother and this was 1 year ago and its not a boy its actually a girl, but yes he is right, her feathers go up and then she starts getting agressive if he touches the phone. :)
Jackson Helopines The male is saying his name “Lip Lip” and the female is just whistling. They also speak quite a few words of Turkish as their female human is Turkish. This is a few years back and these two little characters were just hilarious - I was bird-sitting for their owners for about three months. They were very spoiled and even though they slept in a nesting box they would fly around the whole house and come and wake me up when they wanted their breakfast (Lorikeet mix, fresh grated apple, a dollop of honey and microwaved for about ten seconds). If their breakfast was too hot or too cold or somehow not to their liking they would get very upset 😀 and I’d have to make it all over again.
Oh yeah sorry for the incredibly late reply - these little guys aren't mine: they belong to a friend. I have some other videos of Lip lip talking somewhere. The male does most of the talking. One of their babies was raised by a kid with autism who managed to teach him an incredible vocabulary.
Hi, I hope you see this asap but I have a 14 week old hand raised rainbow lorikeet. He keeps making these quiet high pitched noises when he’s in his bed. I’m not too sure if that means he’s scared or something. Would you happen to know and if you have any advice raising him?
Hey there, sorry for the late reply. Hopefully you found the information you needed.. There are lots of lorikeet resources online and there's also parrot forums and the r/Parrots subreddit on Reddit.
Lorikeets can mimic human speech but they definitely don't understand what they're saying. However there was a famous African Grey parrot named Alex who could both speak and understand English. There are documentaries about him on UA-cam.
I show this to my bird and he is so happy
Same here!
LOVE TO HERE WHISTLING!
Aww so cute
My lorikeet whistles back
Mine does to
My lorikeet peekabooed at these lorikeets 😂

They are Lorikeets, not exactly a parrot? I’ve been around these little guys for many years..

Can you hold a conversation with one of these birds in English?
