Pet Birds That Talk---5 Kinds Of Birds That Can Learn To Talk

It is truly amazing that birds can learn words and phrases that we use

. Let's take a look at 5 kinds of birds that are most likely to talk. Each type as well as each individual bird differs in their ability. But the following 5 have a great track record.

African Grey---This parrot has, without doubt, the most potential to become a fluent speaker by learning a big vocabulary and understanding how to use the words in their proper context. Speech is developmental. This means that some may speak as early 9 months while others may not speak until they are two years old. Most are blessed with intelligence equivalent to that of a 5-year old, and can accurately mimic sounds that they hear in the home or office. With proper care they have a life span of at least 30 and many times 50 years or more.

Amazons-There are many different species, most of which have the ability to speak. They pick up words fairly easily but demand a lot of attention from their owners. They can become aggressive as adults. So proper training when they are young is a must.

Macaws---These flashy and colorful birds are what many of us think of when we picture parrots--and with good reason. They have entertained us in movies like 102 Dalmatians and Rio. Their speech is not as articulate and it is often harder to understand, but they probably think the same thing about people. They are also great at learning and demonstrating new tricks.

Conures---While this is a smaller bird, it makes a big sound and can become great speakers with positive and consistent training. They are active and can be unexpectedly loud for their size. This is not the ideal bird for an apartment where neighbors are close.

Cockatoos---Their elegant appearance is what usually draws people to this bird. But they are also known for the above average ability to use words and phrases. They also have an uncanny ability to imitate household sounds such as doorbells, and flushing toilets. Their social nature means they need a lot of attention from their owner to be happy.

Even though a large percentage of the birds mentioned above speak, abilities vary from one bird to the next. If you will be heartbroken if your bird does not speak, rather than take these generalizations, you should wait until you hear the bird speak before making a decision.

If you want to take a chance and adopt a bird from the very early stages, then choosing from list will increase your chances of having a bird that will talk, and hopefully, its ability to talk will not be your only reason for choosing the bird. But with careful research, love, and care, you can have a great relationship with your bird whether it talks or not.
