Things I have collected in the masses because of my bird-like obsession for ✨️thingies✨️:

-Crayola colored pencils that are named anything but the color they are (all of which I have slowly been "borrowing" from someone over the course of several months)

-Keychains. LOTS of keychains. Lots.

-Reactions pics (I can't articulate my intense emotions verbally or with facial expressions very well)

🦜 Green Parrots That Talk! How Well Can They Mimic Humans? 🗣️

Green parrots are among the most popular pet birds worldwide, admired for their striking plumage, playful nature, and, most importantly, their ability to talk. But do all green parrots talk? If so, how well can they mimic human speech? Let's learn about green parrots that talk.

Do Green Parrots Have the Ability to Talk?

Yes! Many species of green parrots can talk. Parrots, in general, are known for their ability to mimic human speech and various sounds. However, not all green parrots possess the same level of talking ability. Some species are excellent talkers, while others may only learn a few words or sounds.

Which Green Parrots Are the Best Talkers?

Several green parrot species are well known for their speech abilities. Here are some of the best green parrots that can talk:

1. Amazon Parrots

One of the best talkers among green parrots.

They can develop a large vocabulary and even speak in clear, meaningful sentences.

Yellow-naped Amazons are particularly famous for their speech abilities.

2. Indian Ringneck Parrots

They have a clear and crisp voice, making them excellent talkers.

They can learn multiple words and phrases if trained well.

They start speaking as early as 6-8 months old.

3. Monk Parakeets (Quaker Parrots)

Known for their strong talking abilities.

They can develop a large vocabulary and mimic human voices effectively.

They are intelligent and social, which helps in learning speech.

4. Eclectus Parrots

Although not as commonly green as others, male Eclectus parrots are bright green and excellent talkers.

Their voice is very human-like, making them easy to understand.

5. Budgies (Green Budgerigars)

Small in size but can learn an impressive number of words.

Some budgies have been recorded speaking over 1,000 words!

They have a softer voice compared to larger parrots but can still mimic speech well.

How Do Green Parrots Learn to Talk?

Green parrots learn to talk through imitation and repetition. Here’s how they develop their speech abilities:

Listening and MimickingParrots are excellent at picking up sounds from their surroundings.They often mimic words and phrases they hear frequently.

Repetition and ReinforcementRegular exposure to the same words helps parrots learn speech better.Rewarding them with treats when they repeat words correctly encourages learning.

Interaction and SocializationTalking to your parrot regularly helps improve their speech.Parrots that are spoken to more frequently develop better verbal skills.

Emotional ConnectionParrots tend to remember words associated with emotions.If they receive attention and affection when saying a word, they are more likely to repeat it.

How to Train a Green Parrot to Talk

Training a green parrot to talk requires patience, consistency, and a positive approach. Here are some steps to follow:

1. Start with Simple Words

Begin with easy words like "hello," "hi," "bye," or their name.

Use a clear and consistent tone when speaking to them.

2. Speak Regularly and Repetitively

Repeat words daily so your parrot becomes familiar with them.

Use the words in different situations to help them understand context.

3. Use Positive Reinforcement

Reward your parrot with treats, head scratches, or praise when they attempt to speak.

Avoid scolding them if they don’t respond immediately.

4. Be Patient and Consistent

Some parrots take weeks or even months to start talking.

Keep training sessions short but regular for the best results.

5. Play Audio Recordings

Some parrots learn better by listening to repeated words from recordings.

Play recordings of simple phrases when you are not around to reinforce learning.

Why Do Some Green Parrots Not Talk?

Not all green parrots will talk, and several factors affect their ability to learn speech:

Species – Some species are naturally better talkers than others.

Age – Younger parrots learn more quickly than older ones.

Personality – Some parrots are more vocal, while others are quieter.

Training and Exposure – A parrot that is frequently spoken to will have a better chance of talking.

Bond with Owner – Parrots that feel comfortable with their owners are more likely to mimic their speech.

Conclusion

Green parrots have the potential to be excellent talkers, but their ability to mimic human speech varies by species, personality, and training. Amazon parrots, Indian Ringnecks, and Quaker parrots are among the best talking green parrots. With patience, consistency, and positive reinforcement, many green parrots can learn to speak fluently. If you’re looking for a feathered friend that can talk, a green parrot might be a great choice!

[great-and-small]

hope you don't mind me asking but I saw your tags for the "every video of a parrot should have a 15 second warning at the beginning" post that said that the way people pet them is like an erotic massage? would you mind elaborating on that?

Parrots are incredibly complex animals in both behavior and physiology. In the wild, reproduction is something that is delayed until these birds have adequate food, habitat, and a suitable partner. When these conditions are met, parrots will begin to stroke one another on the back, wing, and belly in order to kickstart the hormonal changes necessary for reproduction.

A pet parrot in a person’s home likely has access to plenty of food and a safe habitat. This coupled with an owner who regularly strokes their back or wings is likely to start making the bird very sexually aroused. This can lead to significant behavioral problems from sexual frustration and medical issues due to the constant hormonal stimulation that is only seasonal in the wild. Birds that are constantly stimulated can suffer from cloacal prolapse and constant regurgitation.

It’s worrying that many parrot and cockatoo owners have no idea they’re essentially giving their bird a handjob when they pet them down the back. When it comes to these birds, always pet them on the face or feet to prevent hormonal stimulation!

Parrots learn to make video calls to chat with other parrots, then develop friendships with each other

Researchers from Northeastern University, in conjunction with scientists from MIT and the University of Glasgow, conducted a study exploring the impact of teaching a group of domesticated birds to communicate using tablets and smartphones. The findings indicate that utilizing video calls may assist parrots in mimicking the communication patterns observed in wild birds, potentially enhancing their behavior and overall well-being in the homes of their owners.

An earlier comment reminded me of this exchange I had on a Facebook post I made looking for help with Rocco’s biting. Don’t be this person guys. Just because a bird plucks doesn’t mean it’s not otherwise healthy. Rocco had his last appointment in August and passed his exam with flying colors. Other than being a lintball of course.

And don’t judge owners because their bird plucks. Parrots aren’t meant to be kept in captivity in the first place- stereotypical behaviors are so common and can happen even in the best of care. Or, the bird might be rescued and has plucked since the owner got them. Believe me, good owners with a plucking bird do *everything* they can to try to alleviate the source of the plucking. Sometimes, it’s not fixable.

What if we were both magic prodigies and it otherized us in different ways and we devoted ourselves to protecting a family member who has general other goals & priorities. What if we both did self-sacrifical devotion in opposite ways.

What if we were dark mirrors of each other and where I've grown overcontrolling you've grown complacent. What if, bought as a servant into a pretty loving home, ownership and control is what love looks like to me, and to you neglected and lonely growing up, love is gratefully taking any scraps of it you’re lent.

By belonging to someone, even if she comes back injured or fails at finding Delgal, she feels like she belongs and is cherished, by owning someone he feels safe in them not leaving him.

She’s what’s tethering him do you see… And he’s the only thing giving her direction and purpose in her state. She needs a compass and he needs a support.

They’re both so out of it 😭 It’s the weirdly intense and unearned mutual trust and reliance on each other?? They’re each other’s weird little comfort codependent teddy bear. Or at least they were headed towards that before SHE DIED THEN HE DIED THEN THEY BOTH FORGOT ABOUT EACH OTHER AND NEVER MET EVER AGAIN. Though she’s also the guard attack hound keeping him safe… And vice versa he heals her and can rewrite her very being with just one wave of his hand. They’re both so so mentally and physically vulnerable both but they cling onto each other. They can’t perceive things accurately but despite it all someway somehow they stumble into something closer to resembling companionship just before they both die. Falin is just that kind and Thistle is just that lonely. Overworked.

We both haven’t lived for ourselves in a very long time, haven’t we.

They both have a similar devotion to the people they love but again the difference is that Thistle starts overtsepping while Falin is self-effacing. The other difference between them is that people care about Falin <3 People have given up on Thistle long ago, and he has given people reasons to, while people refuse to give up on Falin. Yaad has a mini arc about it dw about it it’s ok he’s not all alone in the end 😭😭 He reached out for Marcille’s hand but they already all wanted to help him, they just had to be given the chance to, Yaad just had to be given the chance to, it’s okay I’m okay

Hey what if we learned to get in touch with our own identity and the world around us and living in the present again through being in the worst codependent situationship ever.

Falin and Thistle sitting in a tree, sucking on flowers together because they’re h-u-n-g-r-y 💕💕💕

I bet he’s only ever thought of flowers as useless ornaments. Weak weeds. But she shows him they’re tasty and useful and good and pretty in their own right too and deserve existing without proving their worth and waaa <33 Thistles…... Did you know thistles taste sweet if you remove the thorns and eat them?

"Even as a chimera, her kind nature remains" you can’t suppress her in the way that matters. You can’t soothe him in the way that matters. It’s doomed. You’re doomed. It’s all doomed. Save me.
