Article From SubmitYOURArticle.com: Talking Pet Birds---5 Types of Birds That Can Learn To Talk

The fact that birds can learn to speak our
language is truly amazing. But there it is-some
of them can. Here are 5 types of birds that can
learn to speak. Their abilities vary from
learning a few words to being able to use them in
the proper context. Read on and pick your
favorite.

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 spectacularly colorful birds are
what most of imagine when we think of 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.
