There was a bird that knew over 1728 words and even constructed its own phrases!

Male specimens of budgerigars are considered to be one of the top five talking champions amongst parrot species, alongside the African grey, theAmazon, and the Eclectus parrots, and the ring-necked parakeet.

Puck, a male budgerigar owned by American Camille Jordan, holds the world record for the largest vocabulary of any bird, at 1,728 words. Puck died in 1994, with the record first appearing in the 1995 edition of Guinness World Records.

Rather than just mimicking, Puck created his own phrases and sentences. He often used the appropriate phrase in a situation, and sometimes displayed an uncanny understanding of his environment.

If Puck was still alive, he surely would be an internet sensation!
