I have a 5 year old female red belly and she's my best talker. I know others that have female red belly's that talk as well.

She's only 4 months old ... they don't start talking right away. Just keep talking to her and if she's going to talk (there's no guarantee) she'll surprise you one day.

I have heard that the best way to encourage speech is to speak to the bird consistently, enthusiastically and within a context (say Good Morning first thing in the morning, etc.). This has resulted in a green cheek with a few good phrases. Our Cape has a huge vocabulary, but most of it was acquired from the bird store he spent a couple of years in. They'd bring in boarders (housed in a separate room) and I think he must know all the cell phone rings, microwave beeps, etc. in Tarzana. He has 5 or 6 different "Hellos". "Hey Birdie" he got from me, and that's now his default contact call.
