I have been trying to teach my male budgie, Skye to talk. Skye is quite old. I have gotten him for almost 2 years now. But 2 days ago i have been repeating over and over again his name, as well as Pretty Bird.
Its kind of weird, but sometimes i have a feeling that he is trying to talk and immitate me. He makes this soft noise which would sound like a pur from a cat. I have read that if a budgie is old, it may be difficult to teach them how to talk. So i was wondering what kind of noise it would be for a budgie trying to talk?
thankx...

parakeets find sounds like 'k' and 'p' easier to pronounce. They are most likely to learn in the early morning so pick a word and repeat it constantly for 20 minutes in the morning before you take the cover off the cage and again for twenty minutes after. Also, remove any mirrors from his cage so he is more likely to want to communicate with you rather then his reflection.

he will postpone a splash card that announces: hear up! Then he should help already know what he has to declare. in certainty whilst his beak is shifting, he's in all probability chewing on a seed! whilst they communicate, they communicate and parakeets can communicate as for sure as maximum folk. it relatively is basically that they are far greater clever than maximum folk and what they could say makes greater experience.

Parakeets are surprisingly good talkers, most folks don't realize it because they bend their notes they would whistle to mimic and use the scratchy fussy voice as well. But if you listen closely you will hear a rhythm of things you say, the WAY you say it, being mimic-ed like a tune, then slowly becomes clearer. If you say, "What ya Doin'?" You will here a whistly version of that tune. Which then becomes words.

Sometimes parakeets are actually talking but you have to listen very carefully. They have a tendancy to run all the words together rather quickly. Mine was talking all along but because I was around him all the time, I never picked up what he was saying. My mother came over one day and pointed it out..it was like "prettyprettyprettyshitwhatchadoing" all at once and real fast. I was amazed when I actually "heard" all the things he had picked up!

You can teach your bird to talk. You should start off with sounds the bird makes spontaneously, like 'Wak!'
When the bird verbalizes, Wak!, give him a bit of cracker and say 'Wak! Wak!' and when he responds 'Wak! Wak!' give him some more cracker.
Continue in this manner until you are having normal conversations with your bird.
Glad to be of help.

If you bird is really interested in what your saying, like you can
tell he is watching your lips. I don't think they are ever to old to learn to talk. Be patience with him, he sound's like he's really
interested...

Usually they nod their heads up & down before they talk.
Also concentrate just on one phrase. Once he masters that one you can go on to another.
No - he is not too old!

usually they do that mumbling sound not the one when they grind their beak but another knid. if they his does the mumbling/whistle it is possible he would talk.
