I have just kept working with ours. They have learned a wide vocabulary.They dance, bark, do tricks, and ask for your food.They will holler if anyone they dont know gets near them.They are very smart.You just have to keep repeating the words and they will pick it up. Television is good too.
They are very spoiled.
Now I have cockatiels also and one of them can crow like a rooster.They talk too.

My parrots are African Greys.I have two.From what I understand African Greys due tend to be some of the better talking parrots.Not only can they talk, but they also will copy the exact sound of a person's voice.

For example, my husband has thought I was in the other room talking, when I was not home.I have swore that that my dad or step-mother were in the room talking to me & they weren't even at my house. No, it was one of the birds! They also duplicate the sound of a couple of my kids.

As for other types of parrots, from my understanding, they can learn to talk. The best way I have found to teach a bird something is to actually not try to teach! Seriously. If you want your bird to learn something, just keep talking to him/her. If your bird is a non-talker at this time, you will want to keep repeating a word or phrase that you want him/her to learn. Sometimes, they will pick it up real quick.Other times, months later when you think they will never say it, the bird will just start saying something. In reality, a person needs to face there are those rare occasions that you may have a bird that just will not or can not say what you want no matter what.

Good luck. Just for the record, the only time you hear either of my birds say "not so nice " words it is in my father's voice!:)

one of our parrots, a blue headed pionus, was yelling to my mom, in my voice one day. and my mom came marching into my room, and said to me "i can't hear anything you're saying to me cause i was in the shower, if you want to say something to me, wait until after". I just said to her... "it wasn't me, it was kiwi". Kiwi, also yells my name in my moms voice to get up in the morning. As my mom would repeateldy yell for me to get up every morning while I was living at home. Kiwi picked it up. He has a vocab of about 50 words. My male cockatiel knows these sayings "hello", "pretty birdie", "pretty tango" and "peekaboo" which I have taught him. But he mixes them up on his own - like sometimes he says "hello pretty bird tango", or "pretty pretty pretty pretty pretty tango", sometimes he'll say "peekaboo tango"...so he pretty much mixes up the words I taught him to make new phrases. it is pretty funny. I love when he says something new.

what kind of bird do you have? many of the female counterparts of species like cockatiels and budgies, usually won't talk..but of course there are exceptions.

do you have a parrot? oh how funny and strange...I have never met with a person who had a parrot...I have only read about this in books...and do you mean that you think you can really teach your parrot to speak? I have never imagined it could be true.. while reading you can often read of a character having a speaking parrot but I had no idea they could really exist...do you know other people who have speaking parrot? If so, what do they say? Did their owners teach their animals by themselves? Oh it is a very interesting matter to me...please keep in touch and tell use how things go on with your parrot in training!!!
