10 TIPS TO TEACH YOUR BIRD TO TALK | Simple tips 

❤❤

Awww that’s so adorable “tank ooo” lol. Keep repeating it to her and it will start to sound better, if not it’s still absolutely adorable 🥰. She’s very lucky that you found her and saved her ❤️

Omg That’s so adorable, Kiwi is so lucky to have you and your loving family. It’s funny you say that about the wolf whistle, as much as I’ve tried to teach Ricco it, he only can do the first part of it. It’s pretty funny. 😂

I agree it can be easier if they are younger, but my female rescue was 16 years old when I got her and she was able to pick up on many whistles I taught her. She never did speak, but I never stopped trying lol. It really does come down to the bird itself, I’ve had many people tell me they have had their birds from a small baby and they never learned to speak ever. My Chico was a much better talker than Ricco and picked up on every word, where as Ricco just says what he likes lol.

@@Riccothegreenpiedirn Yes absolutely. And that's so cute!

@@fauziadurrani9064 Thank you 🥰

Thank you, I appreciate that 😊. I know, all they need to do is sit there and look cute 😁🤷‍♀️

@@Riccothegreenpiedirn Thank you very much that means the World to me🤗I’m so excited & can’t wait😆Tomorrow I’m going to research my area, breeders, & rescue places. If u don’t mind me asking did you get Ricco has a baby? And was he from a breeder, store, etc? If u don’t feel comfortable answering I completely understand😊Tysm for your time replying to me🤗❤️

Aww thank you 🥰

Omg you always make me laugh 😁 Thank you for your support, I really appreciate it. The next video will be of Ricco lol 😊

Aww thank you 💕

Haha that’s to funny. I’d definitely adopt if I ever get a companion for Ricco, that’s if he excepts another bird. If not I’ll shower him with all the attention and love 😁

Could it be your ringneck parrot is going through the bluffing stage? Can you tell me how old he is? Also they get grumpy and cranky when they are molting or it’s springtime. Did this behaviour just start. Try to think of anything that could’ve caused this behaviour. I do have a video in my playlist about the bluffing stages, ringneck parrots are known to go through it more often than other birds.

@@Riccothegreenpiedirn i have watched the video But i don't think its the bluffing period. I don't know his exact age as we were given the parrot 2 months ago from someone we know and they didnt had any idea they said its a baby parrot At first i thought its a baby parrot but now i think that she maybe a female one as her feet scales are very hard, beak is red and black more than any baby parrot could have also she is very large in size. Although she is very playful on her own so we let her play and do whatever she's doing

@@migattenoSam Some birds just need time, just keep working with her. Try using treats and foods to gain her trust. Indian ringneck parrots are not as cuddly to begin with and are much more independent. I would keep interacting with her as you are doing and just respect her space. It took me 1 year to get Ricco to fully trust me. I’m sure she will come around 😊

@@Riccothegreenpiedirn yes thats what we are doing right now. Trying to gain trust i use to whistle with her and she responds sometimes(likely 2-5% of the time only😅) but yes its ok for us she will get used to us We are concerned because she was friendly before but has gotten more agressive now. However lets see for some time if its gets better😊 Thankyou for your advice and help😁

@@migattenoSam No problem at all. Good luck 😊

Aww thank you 🥰

Aww thank you 🥰

Thank you 🥰

Thank you, I appreciate that 😊

Your welcome, hopefully it helps 🥰

@@Riccothegreenpiedirn yeah am also thinking same 🤞crossing fingers😊

@@tammanasvlogs3557 Even if they don’t, that’s ok. You can still teach them many other things. My female rescue never spoke, but she learned many great whistles and it sounded so beautiful. She was so adorable. A talking pet or not, they are all equally adorable 🥰

@@Riccothegreenpiedirn yeah, you are very true,my female parrot (Pinki) shouts a lot when i am not surrounded and she can also whistle and make kissing sounds and these activities makes me Happy 😊

@@tammanasvlogs3557 aww that’s adorable 🥰

I couldn’t agree more 👍

Yup sounds about right 🤣😂

Aww thank you 🥰

@@Riccothegreenpiedirn Your peek a boo's are just the cutest

@@kathrynnorman2253 he’s definitely mastered the peekaboos lol

@@Riccothegreenpiedirn All hail Ricco the master of the peekaboos LOL!!

@@kathrynnorman2253 lol 😂

I never would starve a parrot, it’s not necessary at all. Using food to gain a birds trust or for training is a good way, but it should never be to the point of starvation. Training should also be fun and short throughout the day and never forced otherwise it could brake the bond between you and your bird. Just use your bird’s favourite treats only for training and not otherwise, that’s the only thing that needs to be done.

@@Riccothegreenpiedirn You are right, what you say is logical and wonderful❤️💕 thank u so much

🤣😂

That’s amazing. Just keep talking to him, sometimes they pick up on what they like lol.

Thank you 😊. So the dring dring came from me and I made it up, not a phone. My Chico was the first to learn it over 4 years ago, but he went missing. The reason why parrots will pick up on the bad words is usually because it is said loud and in a different tone than a usual tone that a owner would normally use. Think of ever you have said a bad word or someone around you and how it sounds different because it’s out of anger and loud, this is why birds tend to pick up on it if that makes sense. Hope that answered your question .I forgot to mention that you can teach them sounds by playing it from a recording, they may or may not pick up on it. It really depends if they like what they hear lol.

@@Riccothegreenpiedirnaww what happened to Chico?

Ricco is kind of similar. I think most birds are, unless you constantly have people around. It also comes down to the bird. My Chico was very outgoing and would run to anyone lol. But Ricco not so much. I had my family members always interact with him and use treats and foods to gain his trust. He will still pick me over them, but if I’m not there he will go to them. Just try to include him in things when friends are around and have them gain his trust with foods, treats or toys. It can be more difficult when they get used to only you being around. Ricco also is somewhat fearful of men, but I use his favourite toys to get him to go to my dad, brother or friends. Just find something they like and use that. It will take time, but just keep at it 😊

@@RiccothegreenpiedirnI agree! Doing it repeatedly….will make a difference. 👍🏻

Are you referring to ringneck parrots specifically or all birds? I’ve seen many female ringneck parrots talk and some males never talk. It really depends on the bird itself. Both my Chico and my Ricco were males, but they are so different in many ways. My Chico was probably one of the best talkers I’ve had, whereas my Ricco not so much. He still talks but not as much, he loves to fly and play. You just never know 😊

So sorry for the late response, I didn’t see this for some reason. Ricco is 4 years old. It varies in every bird and different factors depending on when they talk, or if they ever do. Here is a video I did about this topic 👉ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-uBReqVwMhtw.html

It takes time to gain a birds trust. Use your birds treats and food as a way to gain his trust. Do you let him out of the cage?

I’m not able to see your bird so I can’t say. I do have a video in my playlist on how to tell the difference between a male and female ringneck parrot. Try to watch the updated version, hopefully it will help you or you can DM me on Instagram.

Had she always been like this? Not all birds like to be touched, but I wouldn’t stop trying. It took me 1 full year for Ricco to fully trust me. He would growl at me, bite me just so I wouldn’t touch his head. I would always move slowly and ask him if I can tickle tickle. Now he says tickle tickle whenever I pet him. Have you tried giving her a treat or showing her a treat while trying to pet her? I always moved at Ricco’s pace and allowed him to show me when he was ready . Just takes time and patience, but don’t ever give up. Your little one is still young, just keep working with her 😊

@@Riccothegreenpiedirn Yes she's always been like this but of course "always" isn't that long. She's not quite 6 months old. I've tried to give her a treat to be able to touch her but she gets confused and steps up instead. That's the only thing she understands doing has gotten her a treat. When I say no and try to get her to understand I'm trying to pet her she gets frustrated that I won't give her the treat. I've read other places as well it can take a year. Which I'm fine with as long as we get there eventually. I notice she does make tiny bits of progress. Like just in the past couple weeks when I open her cage I don't have to step back and wait for her to come out. Now I can lean into the cage so she can step onto my shoulder. One day she even stepped onto my hand when I offered it. But the next day when I tried she bit my finger so hard it bled. The other thing I've noticed recently is when she's hanging out on my shoulder and I need to brush my hair out of my face she doesn't immediately freak out when she sees my hand approaching near her. She's finally figured out I'm just tucking my hair away and all will be fine! She is super jealous of our other 2 birds too. When we have our cockatiel or conure out she immediately flies over and knocks them out of the way. I've tried to show her how they get head scratchies and snuggles and she can too but she just doesn't understand.

@@dhale9089 If it’s confusing her with the treats don’t use them. Try to desensitize her a little at a time by placing your hand above her head slowly and pay attention to her body language. Do this as often as you can and lower it each time till you can eventually touch her. It will take time and patience, but she will soon trust you. Had she always been aggressive towards your other birds? She could be going through the bluffing stage if it just started. I’d keep an eye on her with the other birds, the females have been known to kill other birds if they dislike them, especially their own kind. She’s obviously picked you as her person and is most likely trying to protect you from the other birds, if that makes sense. I rescued a female ringneck parrot who nobody else could touch and she only liked males, but she bonded to me instantly. I really didn’t do anything out of the ordinary with her except be myself. I did however get bit twice from her, but that was my mistake from not understanding her body language at the time. They do get pretty moody, aggressive, or cranky when hormonal. But it will pass as well.

@@Riccothegreenpiedirn Ok I'll try that. I saw on the Bird Tricks video that you should never approach a ringneck from above yet I see it in other videos a lot. I do always always watch her around my other 2 birds. The breeder we got her from told me about the danger of trying to breed ringnecks because the female will kill the male if not interested. I was like wow I guess "no means no" to the extreme! Its funny to watch her near my conure though. He thinks he's all tough around my cockatiel despite being smaller yet all she has to do is look at him and open her beak wide and he lowers his head and slithers away! She seems to like both my husband and me pretty much the same. She started to bond with him early on before me which really annoyed me. I really wanted a female. I love my husband, 2 sons, and 2 male birds but I was like I really need a girl in this house! So when she was going for him at first I was like no way! It shifted though when I got her to start stepping up with a treat. It only took like 2 days for her to catch on. Then she seemed to trust me more even without a treat. Now its hard to walk by her without her doing this little dancing shuffle thing like she can't wait for me to get closer. Then she jumps to my shoulder. She's so cute I just really want to give her snuggles like my other two!

@@dhale9089 So with Ricco I would do it slowly and I would talk to him at the same time while watching his body language. I was always below him when he was on his perch or swing, so that could’ve made a difference. I would stop when he would warn me and try again another time, till eventually 1 year later he finally gave in lol. I think if they are above you and they see your hand moving slowly they should get used to it over time, but every bird is different. I don’t think there is a wrong or right , just do what you feel comfortable with and your bird. I’ve also never done clicker training or stick training and was able to always train all my birds with tricks. I’m sure their are many different methods, I say try them all, you have nothing to loose lol. She seems pretty motivated to learn, I would just keep doing what you are doing. I would love to see the interaction with the other birds, I always find it so funny to watch. I think it’s amazing that she has a bond with both you and your husband, it’s very important as well. My female rescue preferred men more, but she bonded with me the most. She was such a cuddle bug. When everyone saw how I could handle her, they were shocked that she was the same bird. They also pick up on things like fear, weaknesses or they just may not like you. When I would go visit her at the store they had her in, she would literally dive bomb this other lady because she didn’t like her lol. They just like who they like sometimes 🤷‍♀️🤣. I’ll do a quick video on how I got Ricco to let me pet him and how I did it, but there is really not much to it. But it might be easier to understand how I did it, but again I say go with what you think your bird is most comfortable with 😊

Aww how cute 🥰

This is the perfect time to start talking to him. It’s never to early,. Especially because he is young, this is the perfect time. He will absorb it all in. You will here him chatter first before words, it’s how they practice. I got Ricco at the age of 6 months old and he started to talk around 9 months old. Keep in mind every bird is different, he may pick up talking sooner or could take longer. Just keep talking to him 😊

Ok thank you very much. I was teaching him since 2 weeks to say" how are you" and he is actually trying to talk but he is talking like an alien 🤣🤣

@@PanosTh09 yea it takes much longer than two weeks, especially when it’s new to them lol. It takes time, just keep talking and he will surprise you one of these days. 😁

@@Riccothegreenpiedirn ok

From any age, just talk to them as soon as you bring them home like you would a human.

o and one of my parrots died

Aww that’s amazing 😊

@@Riccothegreenpiedirn thanks for replying though I have a question idk what to give my green mithu(Indian parrot) as a treat we give him sunflower seeds on a daily basis science it is his feed so pls answer. Fun fact : my parrot eats chocolate biscuits, avocado and onions although it's bad for him he loves it tho

⁠@@Pr3ppybrook3please don’t feed him anything with chocolate, you could kill him. Even if he likes eating certain things that are not good for him, you shouldn’t give it to him. It can make him sick slowly without you knowing it. If you’re bird is on a seed diet it’s very important to feed him vegetables and fruits. I’ll send you links to videos I’ve done about diet.

Haha lol

Ha ha I think he’s smarter than me too 😂🤣

@@Riccothegreenpiedirn I really love Ricco too much

@@DTHPLYZ Aww thank you, that’s so sweet 🥰. I’ll make sure to tell him and give him lots of kisses to him from you ❤️

@@Riccothegreenpiedirn yey

Aww 🥰

They can, but only if you can provide them with lots of attention and time.

Thank you....one more question. ...she is scaring a lot with me....when ever i came near her ,she start to cry out loudly. ..what to do...and she is not drinking water at all...pls answer me....iam getting scared a lot of my parrot. ..

@@priyankavijaypatil079 Can you give me more information, like how long you have had her for, is she a baby or a rescue. Also do you mean she is afraid of you? If you are on Instagram you can DM me and I’ll do my best to help you out.

No iam not in insta....thank you for responding.....yesterday i removed her from the cage...after that she is getting scared. ...but before this,she was normal and she was comfortable...she allowed me to touch her ...but today..🥺😞😞..what to do...

Before 1 week she fall on me when i was driving bike...i dont know her age..i think she is small..

If you look at my videos Ricco has plenty of natural wood toys, these are just foot toys that he plays with. I’ve owned birds all my life and know if he was ingesting plastic or not.

We are in Canada

Ok
