Start with something simple. Don’t start with a long sentence. Instead, stick to a simple phrase or word, like “Hello” or “Goodbye.” Your bird is more likely to enter short sentences at first.

Repeat the sentence over and over again. To get your parrot used to the idea, repetition is key. Say the sentence frequently, such as when entering or leaving the room. If the bird hears it often enough, it will probably begin to repeat it.

Be sure to say the word or phrase clearly and distinctly.

Keep the same tone. The Quaker parrot does not only pick up sound. It’s also about taking the tone. If you use the same tone or intonation every time you say the sentence, it will be easier for your bird to grasp it.

A loud and excited voice often works well.

Be patient. It takes a lot of repetition for a bird to learn a sentence. Often, the bird will continue to absorb it for a long time before trying to tell. If you have a young bird, it can wait until it is a little older to start talking.

Try singing tunes. Quaker birds, like many birds, love to hear little songs, and they will often pick them up faster than sentences. If you sing the same little song to your bird every day, he will probably take it back and sing it to you in return.

Hold conversations with your parrot. Just like children, parrots learn a language over time. The more you talk to them, the more words they will pick up. Just include them in conversations to start the process.

Use treats to reward the conversation. Like any behavior, positive reinforcement works well to practice speaking. When you start saying a sentence, give the parrot a reward every time you say it. Then only give it to them when they look at you when you say it. Once the bird does this, give it the treat only when it starts to say the word. Finally, offer the treat only when the bird gets closer to saying it.

Some good treats include sunflower seeds, an almond sheen, or a little grape.
Make only five or six treats in one sitting.
This can help if you use a clicker to reward your bird with a treat. When your bird speaks, click on the clicker and then give it the treat. Soon, he will associate the click with good behavior, which will make him keep talking.

Teach them phrases for particular situations. Quaker parrots are quite ready learners, and you can help them learn phrases for different situations. For example, you can use the phrase “Crackers are tasty” when giving your bird a cracker as a treat. If you give your bird an apple, say, “Apples are delicious. Eventually, your bird will likely learn to distinguish sentences.

Keep your sessions short. Of course, you would like to keep repeating the word until your Quaker understands it. However, you can tire your bird, just like you can tire a dog trying to teach him to sit. Try a few minutes several times a day.

Skip the workout bands. The training tapes repeat sounds and phrases that a bird must learn. However, most larger birds, including Quakers, prefer to interact with you. They value the time they spend with you, so they’re more likely to talk to please you than they are if a tape repeats it.
