Have you ever had a parrot that could talk?

[deucher]

As a child, I saw many videos where a parrot talked and I also wanted to have such a friend and even my parents bought him, but he never spoke, although I spent a lot of time training him. Maybe it was just the wrong breed. He died half a year ago

Yes, I have seen parrots talk like men. They utter words that are similar to human language.

But it is more like a recorder. I don't they think parrot understand a word of what they are chanting.

I have never had one though. Over here parrots are pretty expensive to own. I have only come across some with sellers by the road side.

I didn't have one that talked, but I had a simple budgerigar and it wasn't really that expensive to keep, but I don't know how much it could be for those that talk. I was lucky and I got my parrot for free, but I plan to buy the one that speaks, so I'm already saving a certain amount

There are many wild parrots near to my place. They do not know how to speak. Some capture them and teach them to talk (?).

Parrots are plenty in this area. So are doves.

In fact, I do not think that a possible adult parrot can be taught to speak. This is probably even necessary for a parrot that was born by a parrot while in captivity, and then they will be more adapted to humans, and only then, I think, can he be taught to speak

 

[Sevik]

Possible. Never tried it myself. I think it is cruel to capture one and make it domestic.

And making it do tricks is worse. Let it fly around like a free soul

Truly a parrot alter a sounds too much but not that parrot talk like human being or can response to conversation like a human being will do but will keep making that sounds and never get tired

I never had a talking parrot , but I have seen one when I was young which is owned by a neighbour and was surprised at first when I saw it..

I had a quaker parakeet that could whistle the first bar of "Dixie" and do a wolf whistle. I had a cockatail that would say "Give me a beer Harry!" and would also say "Pretty boy Harry" and also "What are you doing Harry?"

I have seen a talking parrot I'm the zoo, but never had one. I am surprised that they try to speak human language .

I was also surprised when I first saw a talking parrot because I had seen it in real life before on the Internet. And it was unusual to hear from an animal that it can pronounce human words, right?

No, I've never personally owned a parrot that could talk, though I find their remarkable ability to mimic human speech fascinating. A close friend growing up had a blue and gold macaw named Petey who could recite dozens of phrases and small conversations. Hearing that parrot carry on "discussions" by stringing together contextual words and sentences was both amusing and impressive.

 

[Teegold]

Not me personally, but I have a friend who has a parrot at his home. The parrot practically mimics the words of humans. I usually ask it 'how are you' whenever I go to his place. Since then when the parrot sees me he tells me 'how are you'?
Makes me want to have a parrot too.
