Does your parrot talk? Unfortunately my Kiwi doesn’t talk very much. She will try to mimic sounds and will laugh when prompted but so far she has not said any words that I can really understand. Now conures are not typically well known for their talking ability but some species of the conures can talk pretty well. Sun conures are often very vocal little parrots and if you spend the time they will develop the ability to speak some.
Parrots such as African Greys and a couple other species of macaws often are the most capable of speech. Cockatoos can be trained to speak pretty well, although they are often very vocal in a negative way. Be sure you know what you’re getting yourself into before buying a cockatoo. While they can be fun and extremely cuddly they are the loudest in my opinion of all!
I’m sure you all have heard of Alex the talking African Grey that died recently. He was thought to be one of the smartest parrots that anyone has ever come across. He was capable of distinguishing between colors, numbers, letters, etc… If you have a Grey more likely than not you do not need any help teaching him to talk.
However if you do I have a great opportunity for you. Chet from Birdtricks has developed a package that walks you through the steps of teaching your bird to talk. He created a system that includes several cd’s full of other birds talking. Different research shows they learn the best from hearing other birds talk. You can try this package out for only $2.95 for 30 days. If you decide to keep it you are billed the balance but if you are unsatisfied you can simply return it no questions asked. I would give this package a try. I’m not sure how long it will be availble so dont wait too long!
