Can parrakeets talk?

Question

Just got a pet parrakeet he is green with bits of pink by his head and blue and red tail, wanted to know if he will talk?

Answer 1

Parakeets can talk, but it will take a while to teach them. It is best to start when they are young. You should start with a simple word and just repeat it slow and clear. The bird will be easier to teach if there is no other bird around to talk "bird talk" with.

Answer 2

Yes, they can and WILL. First your bird needs to be 4 months or UNDER, a male, and only bird. It takes time, and patience to teach a bird to talk. A single bird usually becomes very tame indeed.Birds a social creatures and a single bird will need lots of attention and company. Once you teach your bird to say one word,which can be achieved with dedication in three weeks,you will find your bird will find it easier to say/pick up many words! Good luck with your bird.

Answer 3

With a lot of time, practice and patience you can teach your parakeet to say a few words, however you must remember that they choose what they say(tweet, whistle or talk) so don't be discouraged if yours decides that it likes it's own language better than the one you're trying to teach.

Answer 4

yes they can but their voices are not very loud and are kinda squeaky- it's not always easy to tell what they are saying-but they definitely try! they are more likely to learn if you spend a lot of time with them and win their trust. train him to "step up" onto a stick be patient but persistent- it is the 1st most important thing you should teach any bird that you intend to handle- when he feels comfortable with you-both inside and outside of the cage-you will have a sweet funny companion who will be very likely to try and copy some of the words he hears you say -repeat the word or phrase that you want him to learn often-and don't get another bird because that will distract them sometimes to the point of no longer wanting anything more to do with you! have fun, and good luck!

Answer 5

Not all parrots learn to talk, but they can talk. I have a parakeet that is a rescue, and he is learning a few words. He has learned to say "Hi", and he will start to laugh and come out with "Tweet" and laugh a little more. He is just learning to say "Pretty Bird", which he is learning from one of my cockatiels.

Answer 6

All birds can talk. It's just that most of them choose not to. Some can type too, but parrots prefer to ride bikes and smash mirrors. Many end up on ASBO's.

Answer 7

yes,parakeets can talk,just most choose not to. If you really want them to talk ,you need to work with them daily several times.start with simple words like hello.My Quaker is actually teaching my budgie parakeet to talk. Peewee(budgie) is picking up a lot from his 'idol' Furby(quaker)Peewee is only going on 6 months and was a handraised baby from the people i got him from. so maybe that helps.

The greater you repeat it via out the day the greater he will hear it and finally repeat it. save to the comparable be conscious, do no longer replace it or he won't seize on. Like I reported, it particularly is going to take time, probably a month, yet as quickly as he says it, you will understand and luxuriate in it. additionally, the greater you work together with him the greater he will prefer to do issues with and for you. so take exhilaration on your parakeet in each and every element and play with him and talk over with him and he will respond. good success.
