Hello, want to buy a cocktail parrot and try for science to teach my birdie how to talk, but I'm fairly certain he can't hear my deep voice clearly enough to mimic. Anyone had the success I read this article and it's very interesting https://cockatielreview.com/can-cockatiels-talk/? Thanks.
PS. This information I found on the reddit. "Cockatiels aren't great human mimics. I'm a woman with correspondingly high voice, and the best imitation my birds can do is a sort of mumble with the correct cadence. They're much better at imitating whistles than imitating human voices."
