Parakeets have always been the most popular pets among birds. They are known for their talk and easy taming. Their basic feather color is yellowish green, but they also come in other colors such as colored blue and can sometimes be completely white or yellow.

A parakeet as a pet usually means a lot of fun. It is true that they can be very noisy, but it is very interesting and pleasant to see them bristle and chat with themselves or even with a little thing. Like any other type of parrot, they mimic the sounds they hear often. They usually mimic the ringing of the phone, the doorbell, or even a part of your favorite songs. However, when it comes to speaking, it is a bit more difficult for them to emulate words, usually due to some consonants that are difficult for them to pronounce. However, it is not impossible. With a little effort and patience, you can teach them to successfully pronounce a few words, even shorter sentences.

For starters, if you haven’t gotten your budgie yet, that’s great, because shopping is the crucial step in teaching your budgie words. Be sure to buy a very young parakeet, preferably a chick, because they are better at learning words and sounds when they are young. If they are older, you can never teach them to speak. When choosing a parakeet, let it be a male. Males are easier to tame and teach, preferring to chatter than scream. Females tend to be wild and you will need more time to tame them and teach them words.

This can be cruel, but if you want to teach your parakeet to talk, don’t buy a pair. When they are together, they focus on each other and don’t pay much attention to external sounds. You will also notice that it will take longer for them to imitate a simple sound; it often happens that they produce nothing but chittering and squawking. The same applies to the small mirrors; Once a parakeet has it in its cage, it will never be separated from it and therefore will not pay attention to you or the sounds.

Now when you have done everything right, start learning. Start with short, simple words with more vowels. Once they have mastered the simple words, they will easily overcome the more difficult ones. However, don’t despair if your parakeet watches you silently and curiously while teaching him; it is a good sign because you are trying to memorize the words. Patience is essential in this case. Sometimes it only takes a few days, but sometimes a couple of weeks; But patience always pays off in the end.

As you can see, a good start is very important here. It is not just about buying a parakeet with a beautiful color, but about bringing a youngster that will learn quickly and will be your friend for several years. However, keep in mind that not all budgies are the same; some will learn slower, others faster, and some will be able to imitate a few simple words. It also depends on how much time you can spend on it. Good luck!
