I thought this was an appropriate topic to put in 'Lorikeet Chatter' How did you teach your lorikeets to talk? I chat to Yogie when I play with him, but I don't know if he'll start repeating what I say. Also, how long did it take?

My girl never spoke except "up" & "down" and that was from constant repetition. There isn't a time, each bird is different. I can't remember how long Bo took, we just noticed one day when we were playing the up/down game with her that she said "up" when we either said it or made the hand movement - same with down. I've heard Rainbows are very good talkers so try and say the same phrase to him whenever you can until he masters it then try a new phrase.

As Karen said 'repetition' unless of course you say something you don't want them to say, then they'll pick it up straight away LOL. Every bird is different, some talk very early and some never talk.
