I said that they weren't known for being chatter boxes. Do a little research and compare that 5-8 words to, say, the vocabulary of an African Gray or other parrots and then come back and tell me all about my BS ;) Cockatiels aren't known for full sentences and continuous chattering, small words and very short phrases in a very "blurry," sort of voice mixed with whistles and churps. They aren't super-clear speakers. Reading and researching before commenting is awesome!
