In this series we will cover different methods on training your bird to talk. Birds can be taught to talk rather than simply mimic sounds. In the past, it was thought that one-on-one interaction, including much out-of-context repetition, was the best way to teach parrots to talk. Many birds throughout the ages have acquired human words this way, but these birds are more likely merely mimicking the sounds of the words. Modern parrot behavior consultants are more excited about the prospect of talking rather than mimicking birds, and so our ways have changed.

Parrot body language is something every parrot owner wants to better understand. In order to clearly understand what you
parrot is saying with sounds and body language, it is often necessary
to combine several factors such as the current surroundings, what is
going on around the parrot and what the parrot's emotions at the moment seem to be in order to figure out what is being expressed.

If you have children, you learn that what you teach your kids as they are younger will help mold them as adults. Birds are the same way. Training your bird
at a young age is ideal when compared to re-training or correcting the
bad habits of an older bird. Some bird owners get lost in the cute and cuddlyness of the baby bird and forget basic training for the bird in that stage of its life. However, you must remember that in order to
set the stage for the future, it is important to socialize your bird,
work on good communication, and establish trust at a young age.
