Tips

• Inform family/roomies of the process and get them to help out with the operation.
• Do not make your words to hard for the bird to say.
• Always sound happy when you teach the bird new words.
• Reward the bird when he/she copies you so he/she knows they've done the right thing.
• Use positive praise.
• Use simple praise like "Good!"
• Do not scold as the bird 'is' trying even if you do not think so.
• when the bird has learned the basic speech start to use more words
• When the bird has learned you will still need to say "Hello" and "Bye" just so the bird does no forget

Warnings
