Teaching Your Parrot To Talk
After reading so many request for information regarding talking, on the various mail lists I decided to write my own article on the subject. My experience deals with the two Congo African Greys in our flock and what I have learned and read on the different mail lists in the last 3 years. Both our Grey are prolific talkers and we lost count of how many words, phrases and sounds that they know a long time ago. Most of the questions related to talking are asked by the new parrot owner so this article is mainly directed towards them.
We all love parrots for many reasons but the ability to produce human speech and to mimic a variety of sounds is a big reason why parrots have fascinated mankind for so long. Amongst the many reasons for choosing a particular species of parrot as a companion, intelligence and talking ability are often placed very high on the priority list. Every parrot owner I have ever met is thrilled when the first word is spoken.

Owning an African Grey Parrot has always been a dream of mine so when my husband found me day dreaming over one in a pet shop he finally caved in and said I could get one! I had made a decision to get my baby grey from a reputable breeder instead of a pet shop mainly to ensure I got a well cared for and well loved baby. I also decided to do as much research into African Greys as I could so that I could provide the best possible loving home for my new found friend once she got home.
This is where I came across the African Grey Parrot Centre website which is run by Rick and Paula. I thoroughly enjoyed reading the posts of other members and gained a lot of very useful information from some of the forums committed members, and then I myself became a member. I then learned that Paula breeds African Greys and contacted her about having one of her babies. She was very informative every step of my babies ...
