If you want a Parakeet to talk,you must get a male,four months of age or under.(Females do not talk as well as males)Do not place a mirror in his cage,he will talk to his reflection and pay no attention to you. Teaching a bird to talk is best done on a one to one basis. Place your birds cage on a table,you sitting on a chair in front of him.( Birds respond more to females, due to the higher pitch of voice.) Make sure there are no other distractions in the room. Say your chosen word,over again clearly and precisely. Birds find it easier to say words ending in eeeeeee! Pepeeeeee,or Pippeeeee! So try a word similar to this. You need to be very patient. Do this as often as you can,throughout the day,for about 10 minutes at a time,making sure you have your birds attention.Some birds learn quicker than others. In about 3 weeks, your bird should start to make noises in the back of his throat,which you will recognise as a word,but not quite right. Keep up your training,and a few day's later, your bird will say the word!!! I have many Parakeets,and taught all mine in this manner. It takes TIME AND PATIENCE!! Always talk to your bird clearly and precisely,never shouting.Once he say's one word,try something new,but do remind him of the first word occasionally! Soon your bird will be chattering away,and will say many things you did NOT teach him!! Good luck.

It takes a year to teach a parakeet a word.Just repeat the word over and over again.

parakeets are very hard to train and have a low vocabulary.Patience, I guess

You would be better teaching yourself to spell, before worrying about the parakeet..............
