If you want your bird to learn your voice, use words that describe the sound you're making. [substeps] For example, " yuh! Yuh! Yoh! Yuh! Yuh, yuh! Yuh! Yhuh! Yhuh, yuh! Yoh. Often, the best way to train an african grey is to create an environment that lets it speak. It doesn't need to be a crate or an enclosed place to speak to you. They will learn to talk so that they can fit into the household as they would into a flock in the wild. However, your bird will only learn to talk if it recognizes that it's how you communicate. Your first instinct will be to take them out of their cages and give them treats. However, if you're ready to provide exercise, feed your bird more often, and play a bit with them, you can get your bird to speak in its native language.
