I don't really know to be honest.
I've only kept 2 out of 11 budgie chicks and 1 of 5 tiels .
Both the budgies I kept are females . I don't think female budgies are known to be good speakers. Plus all my tiels and budgies live outside in a large flight cage . I don't spend a lot of time any more training them. They seem quite happy with their flock so I leave them be.
The budgies are still extremely tame even though my interaction with them is minimal. I can still pick them or have them step up without any trouble. In fact because of their trusting nature , their parents and the other birds will all come to perch on my hands if I get them a treat .
The male tiel chick on the other hand doesn't talk but does whistle up a storm . I taught him a few tunes and the rest he picked up from his father as well as the wild bulbuls that live around my building.
But then pictures all around! His eyes just opened and he's so cute and helpless, a little pink roly-poly.
