How do you have your pet Cockatiel speak english quick?

Question

My Cockatiel is a girl and her name is Miley..can you please help me..

Answer 1

It's much harder to teach females to talk rather than males.

Not all cockatiels are capable of talking or singing but some of them are extremely talented with excellent ability.  Males are more capable of learning how to repeat sounds and words than females, although a small percentage of females can talk and sing too. Vocalization in males is a courtship behavior that is influenced by the male hormones adrogen and testosterone. When birds age, the production of androgen and testosterone drops, which in turns makes males less vocal with age. So how do you teach your bird to mimic sounds? There are a few different methods to do this, but each one requires repetition, repetition and more  repetition.  Repeat the sound for for 10 minute sessions, and have several sessions throughout the day. One method suggests that you remove all food and toys from the cage during a lesson. Another method suggests that you cover the bird's cage during the lesson. A third method suggests that you just conduct the lessons while your bird is in the cage or out of the cage where it can see you and your mouth moving. (The method that I had success with). Mama came right up to my lips and listened intently to the sounds that she liked. When she was in her cage, she started eating as soon as a sound caught her attention. Each bird is different, so follow your bird's cue . You may purchase tapes made specifically for teaching cockatiels to talk and whistle if you prefer.

Answer 2

You just have to repeat the word over and over again.  Cockatiels are the toughest birds to get to talk.  It probably takes years just to get them to say one word.  Good luck!

I hope I helped!

Answer 3

It's VERY hard to get a cockatiel to speak. I have had them for years. ESPECIALLY with girls. Boys tend to be a little more vocal, but its almost impossible, honestly.

Answer 4

Just keep repeating the word over and over it might take a little time but not to long if you really work with it but don't say to many words at once or it will just get confused

Answer 5

Well, female cockatiels don't speak easily. There's only a few in the world that have learned to speak. They rarely chirp as well. You should look up teaching your cockatiel to talk and then work extra hard every day.

Good luck!

*EDIT*

A good trick to get them to speak is to hold them close to your mouth and say the word and then after 3 seconds say it again and keep doing this.

Holding them close to your mouth allows them to feel the vibrations.
