811.0. "Do Macaws talk?" by NQOPS::BUSH () Mon Jul 19 1993 15:48

    
    Do Macaws really learn to talk??  Or am I wasteing my
    time with him?  He's only 12 weeks old.  I don't know
    much about these birds, my finance just brought him
    home the other day.  
    
    Any info about these guys would be helpful.  Thanks!!

    A friend of mine has a blue and gold macaw that too about a year to
    start saying a few words...and she was told this wait was typical.
