A talkative pet can come in many forms, such as a PARAKEET, which is an 8-letter word, or a mynah or MYNA, both of which are 4-letter words. Parakeets are small, brightly colored birds that are native to Australia and other parts of the world. Mynahs and mynas are also birds, but they are larger than parakeets and have black feathers with yellow beaks. All three of these birds are known for their ability to mimic human speech, making them popular pets.
