teach your Macaw to talk. Your Macaw already knows how to say a few words.
To teach it to say more things, simply say your Macaw’s name, followed by a word or phrase you want it to learn.
If you repeat it enough times, your bird will learn to say it. For instance if your parrot is named Polly, and you wanted to teach it to say that it wants a cracker, you would say “Polly wants a cracker.”
You can also teach your parrot to respond to a phrase, for instance when someone says “Hi” and you want your parrot to respond, “Hello! How are you?” You would say, “Polly, Hi say Hello! How are you?” Or, if someone says “Who’s a pretty birdy” and you want your parrot to respond “I am!! –hugs-” Just say “Polly, Who’s a pretty birdy? say I am!! –hugs-” Remember you’ll have to say what you want your parrot to learn a number of times before it will learn it.
(Also, remember you are responsible for what your bird says, so be sure to follow the Constitution.)
