Teach a parrot to talk

jackie_parish

Hi,
I have just bought an African Grey Parrot who is 14 weeks old.
I have been told it is too young to talk yet but would appreciate any tips for the future.
Any other tips regarding African Greys would also appreciated.
Thank You

Although my friend just kept repeating words and her parrot learnt lots...............probably too much

As most of you know our home is controlled by two yappy terriers, my sister came for the week with her parrot who doesnt talk....My sister hates my dogs and is always shouting .Shut up you little.........s!
we went out for the morning shopping on our return the usal welcome yap from the dogs but low and behold the parrot joined in with ,
Shut up you little....s
. she was gobbed smacked!!! ;D
So moral of tale is, keep repeating the phrases.

make a recording of you talking and play it on repeat when you're not in the room / out of the house.

This may sound stupid, but i've heard that if you put your parrot in a closed box (make sure not to suffocate him) and say the words you want him to repeat, he may say them after you.

Don't laugh out if this sounds funny. Thought i'd put down what i've heard.

Thnx
