How to Train Your Parrot To Talk and Say Specific Phrases
Learning how to teach your parrot to talk is usually at the top of the list for someone who buys a parrot. Beside being lots of fun, it’s just cool to have talking parrot. The African Grey parrot and the Amazon parrot are probably the two best parrots for training to imitate and “speak”.
The best age to teach your parrot to talk is when they are young. Teaching an older parrot to talk is a lot more challenging since older parrots have already been exposed to all kinds of sounds, it will take a lot more effort.

To train your parrot, first have your parrot’s cage or swing in a room where they will constantly be in contact with human voices or sounds. We recommend the kitchen, living room or any other place where you family always resides. The parrot will listen in on your conversations and are likely to pick up some words and try to mimic those sounds as their own way of interacting with the environment.
When you try to teach your parrot to say specific phrases, be as close to their cage as possible and try not to have any background noise like the TV on. This will allow the bird to hear the words and sounds more clearly.
Whatever you do, do not over-train your parrot. Your parrot should not be trained for more than 15 minutes a day. Teaching your parrot to talk for more than that will bore them and become frustrating for you. Have the sessions short and fun. You can talk to your parrot while helping it to interact with it’s environment, for example showing them food and toys in the cage.
As a last tip. Teach your parrot to talk before you teach them how to whistle. It will be harder for your parrot to learn how to talk when he or she already knows how to whistle. Good luck!
