How do you get a Parrot to Talk ?

[shotta 20]

I think all Trini parrots could say 'Cocorte'..

[DVSTT]

I heard this still works...

bwahahahaha

[*KRONIK*]

I think all Trini parrots could say 'Cocorte'..

Also due to the fact that everyone duz call it "corcorte"
Even if its strangers...
So they get accustomed to hearing the expression...

A parrot will mimic whatever noise or word he hears. No need to force them into speaking bcuz they get stressed easily. It will come to him over time if ppl are interacting with him daily. Names, car alarms, various whistles are some of the first things they learn. Make sure you have plenty of toys & other things to keep him entertained bcuz a bored bird will start getting stressed out etc

play some chutney songs by it cause d amt of time they does repeat d lines d parrot bound to learn it .....

[acesinghit]

Parrots will learn faster if they are around people. If you want a parrot but have no time to take care of it or leave it out in the yard where the cage is far away from the house then you might as well give it to someone who would appreciate having one or just forget the idea totally and buy fishes. Some people have their parrots inside the house or in the porch or areas where there is plenty 'traffic' so at least the parrot is seeing activity and could 'join' in the conversation.

Well those supposed to talk quickly

But ur best option if u dont have time..
Buy a recorder record what u want it to hear/repeat...
Leave it on "loop"

It bound to learn

But also...
The reason for being present physically is to look at the parrot and see what sounds/words they respond to...
If their eyes/pupils dialate upon a certain sound or word...most likely they will pick up that...
So a lot of it depends on at least SOME quality time with the parrot...to see if they are interested in hearing/learning/repeating what u want them to learn....

Now these are not any rules if the parrot world...because some of them pick up the least likely things you would expect, like cursing and car alarms...
Some may resoond differently to different approaches...

Cool advice, will try this. Just got a second one and the person said not to have them close to each other since they will not talk. So we have them in separate areas. They make lots of noise in the morning if you do not feed them.

A parrot will mimic whatever noise or word he hears. No need to force them into speaking bcuz they get stressed easily. It will come to him over time if ppl are interacting with him daily. Names, car alarms, various whistles are some of the first things they learn. Make sure you have plenty of toys & other things to keep him entertained bcuz a bored bird will start getting stressed out etc

What kind of Toys ?
