Will my Golden Mantle Rosella talk?

Question

I have just got a Golden Mantle Rosella, so beautiful.

Only makes loud noises now and then but not very often.

Will he learn to talk??

Told he is 5 months, but I think more like 1 year.

We have only had him 2 days!!

Answer 1

Rosellas are not known for talking. So I would answer your question with a no, but there are always individual exceptions. I have heard of a few cases where a pet rosella has been taught to say a word or two.

You can try to really work with him, and *maybe* he will learn to  say one or two things. But don't get your hopes up.

Please note that if he does ever learn to talk, it will take a while. Maybe even a year or two.

....Rosellas are so beautiful. I'm jealous!

Answer 2

Rosella's are not renowned for talking,but they still can,they do not pick up speech as well as other Parakeets do.

At five months I would have thought you may have had a chance of teaching it but if as you say it is about a year then this will be more difficult.

But like everything there could be a chance! I would only use a three word phrase to start with and then it's time and patience and perseverance,repetition repetition.

I seem to have answered a question by some one asking what kind of Parrot there's was just recently and it was a Rosella the same age,Coincidence.?
