How to Make a Parrot Talk
Tell your new parrot everything. Treat it as if it was your child and explain to them where you are going and what you are doing. This will help them become more comfortable around you and provide a social environment where the parrot will feel the urge to talk back.
Keep your parrot's swing, perch or cage in a the television room or kitchen of your home. The more conversations and words they hear, the more likely they will try to formulate those words and join the conversation.
Avoid teaching them how to whistle before they learn how to talk. Sometimes when a parrot learns how to whistle, it's more challenging for them to learn how to say words.
Train your parrot for no more than 15 minutes a day. If you try to teach them for a longer period of time, you will bore them and it will become frustrating for you and the bird. Try using associations to help them identify objects. For example, show them their food and say "food" then use that word in a few sentences. Do the same thing for their toys or other objects.
Speak clearly and sometimes hold the bird near your mouth. This will enable the parrot to see how you are forming the words and making the sound that they are hearing.
