At what age do parrots start talking?

By one-year age, the vocabulary can reach hundreds of words and phrases - this is a particularly active period. In 2 or 3 years the birdie can already recite poems or make long sentences.

In parallel, work hard to have a pet look for your company. This is not so difficult to do, because wavy parakeets need constant contact.

Many owners of birds often in pursuit of the formation of a large vocabulary of the pet forget that repetition is the mother of the teaching.

Try to conduct training so that your actions or the parrot coincide with the word you are proposing. For example, if you see that Kesha is stretching, clearly pronounce the word "potayagushki".When leaving, do not forget to say goodbye to the bird. Over time, the feathered friend will begin to guess that words and actions are somehow interrelated.

Do not insist on training, if you see that the parrot is completely devoid of concentration. The best way out in this case is to just wait and give the bird a chance to do his own business.

If the wavy parrot wants to play, postpone the lesson for another time.

IMPORTANT: Long words and phrases should be reserved for later lessons. In general, it is desirable to prepare a certain set of phrases, and to vary the words from it in a different order.
