Parrots are famous not only for their bright colors, but also for their amazing intelligence. These beautiful birds can imitate the sounds they hear, they are able to learn words and whole phrases, and then reproduce them at the request of the owner. We list the most intelligent types of parrots. We will find out which of them are the most talkative, and how to teach a parrot to speak.

The most talkative parrots in the world

One of the most intelligent parrots in the world is considered to be gray jaco parrots. A representative of this species named Pradle had a vocabulary of about 800 words, he won first place in the competition "The most talkative parrot" in London.

Gray Jacos are able to imitate different sounds, pronounce whole sentences, and their vocabulary can include up to 1500 words. Scientists say that these birds do not just repeat incomprehensible words, but they are able to associate their conversation with objects, know colors and can count.

Amazon is another representative of the smartest and most talkative parrots in the world. This birdfast and easy to learn. Amazon is able to remember about 50-60 words, plays musical melodies and loves to sing. This bird is also easy to learn different tricks.

The macaw parrot impresses not only with its bright coloring, but also with a rather high intelligence. This parrot is able to fill in only about 20 words, but he uses them on business. In addition, this bird is able to reproduce various natural sounds: the murmur of water, rain, barking, lowing, howling.

How to teach a parrot to talk

For training, it is better to take a young bird or a pair. The room where the lesson will take place should be quiet and calm. First you need to establish a trusting relationship with the bird. It is necessary to pay attention to the parrot, talk to him.

It is better to start learning with one word. You need to pronounce it slowly and clearly for several minutes. As soon as the parrot repeats this word several times, you can teach the bird other words. Just do not forget to reward the bird for success. Classes should last at least half an hour every day.

Thus, the gray jaco is considered the most talkative bird in the world. However, if you have a desire to make a talkative friend, and gray jaco is out of reach, do not despair, because ordinary budgerigars can also learn to speak, it is worth putting enough effort into this.
