How do you make a bird talk?

Answer 1

talk to him

Answer 2

Different species of birds have different talking abilities. While some can learn many words, others will only mumble a few. They can also mimic sounds like the doorbell or the telephone as well as songs. In general, males tend to be more vocal than females. Ultimately, however, talking depends on the individual bird.

The key to teaching your bird to talk is patience. When combined with the following tips, you may find yourself with a chatty new friend:

Spend time with her each day. Daily 5-10 minute sessions are more effective than a long session once a week.
Start with simple words such as "hello." The first few words are often the toughest, but once she has learned a few, new words will come quickly.
Conduct lessons in different places such as the cage, on your arm or on a T-stand. This will prevent her from associating talking with a certain place.
Some birds will repeat what they are taught, while others will say words unrelated to your sessions. For this reason, be sure you are not saying anything around your bird that you do not want repeated. Commonly heard sounds such as calling the kids to dinner or the dog's barking may be the first things your bird repeats!

Answer 3

Lots and lots of patience. Depending on the type of bird. From experience I know you have to keep repeating a word or phrase over and over and over....again. It helps to tape record what you want your bird to say and then play it while you are gone. I have had birds that pick up words very quickly, sometimes the first time I said the word. This is unusual though.

Answer 4

Hi
Firstly you have to have a male bird.

Over the years my cockatiel decided to say things that we weren't trying to teach it and very rarely what we were tring to teach it. For example he picked up 'hello' from everytime we said it to each other and 'hi there' from my daughter answering the phone. "Going out?" from us speaking to the dog and "want a coffee?" - get the picture? So no swear words:-)

Just be patient and repeat phrases as often as you can. It doesn't always work. I have been saying "good morning" forever and he won't say it but will say " how are you" from when I'm on the phone and not even looking near him. He even does a laugh exactly like my daughter.

Also some birds are better speakers than others

Keep trying!

Answer 5

My uncle has a parot and it knows alot of words. To get it to talk is for you to be talking to it alot and to others and it will catch on to what you are saying. If you want it to say a specific word or sentence repeat it to the bird a couple times a day. If you say something often the bird will be familiar with it and catch on. It may even copy your laugh (it copied my grandmas). It even says I love you and yells Grandma since that is said alot. Sometimes the bird will only talk if its alone and eveyrone else is in one room talking
