• Parrot Speech Training
• Parrot Whistling Training
• Parrot Environmental Stress Relief
• Parrot Wacky Speech Training

Product Description
“Because Talking is always better than squaking”

If you’re here you’ve asked, “How do I teach my bird or parrot to talk?” The key to training your Parrot or any speech capable bird to talk or whistle, as with any learned behavior, is repetition. CD’s are the perfect way to teach while your away at work or stepping out of the house. CD’s are also superior to a cassette in both quality and due to the fact that a cassette doesn’t let you focus on just one phrase. All our CD’s are digitally produced for maximum clarity and you’ll get our Speech, Wacky Phrases and SFX, Whistling or Stress Relief CD’s (actual bird sanctuary sfx).

How the Training works!

You simply insert CD, press program, enter desired track, select the repeat
option, and it plays until you stop it. All home and most portable CD players have these options, even your windows CD player interface. Each phrase has a natural ten second pause before it repeats. If you’ll be gone for a long period of time you can program the last track (5 minutes of silence) along with your phrase. This will give your bird a five minute break for every minute of training. Program in this manner if you’ll be leaving the CD playing for periods longer than 30 minutes. The 5 minute break will help avoid burn out! To get them to mimic a speech pattern or song we highly recommend that you only try and teach your bird one at a time. It will also work faster if you reinforce the phrase as your time permits as well. Once the phrase or song is learned and used regularly, move on to another. Remember for training, the shorter it is, the easier it will be learned.

Is this method of training my parakeet to talk going to work?

I have recorded my voice saying “hello” over and over and put it on a cd. i put the raido next to its cage and played it. WILL THIS WORK OR IS THERE A BETTER WAY?

Thanks
i would pet him and talk to him but he goes crazy even when you get near. my tame one died when it got its foot stuck in bottom of the cage.
does anybody know about how long it will take to teach him to say hello
