Is it too late to teach my parakeets to talk? How do I teach them to talk?
I have two baby parakeets that I got about 10 months ago–one is female, one is male. I’ve recently decided that I want to teach them how to talk, but I’m not sure whether or not it’s too late. They live together in one cage, but I’ve heard that that makes them less likely to learn to talk. Could someone please tell me how to train them to talk, or if it’s too late to teach them.
Also, their cage is on a stand against the wall, and we have a decorative mirror hanging on the wall right above the cage. They both like to stand on top of the cage and look at the mirror–they spend a lot of their time doing that. Is that bad for them, should I move the mirror somewhere else? I heard that it’s bad to have a mirror it you have one bird, but what about with two birds?
its not bad for them, it just makes them less attached to you (which is good if you cant be with them 24/7 – they are communal)
As for the talking its all about repetition, it may take a while, but teach them something small. one sentence, a few words etc. once one knows it and starts saying it then the other will two. However you should try and teach them both. i.e. get them out of the cage at different times. one parakeet on your shoulder – and keep talking to it, then go put that one back and pull out the next one and start talking to the one you just swapped the previous for.
