 closet talkers
by: Anonymous

It's called closet talking & it's very common in eclectus parrots. They already know how to speak or learn to speak but are nervous in their new environment & around new people. This makes them closet talkers. It is completely normal. Give him time, When he gets a lot more used to his new home & he begins to trust you more he start talking directly to you. Google eclectus parrots to read up on the properly. They are quite the different parrot species when it comes parrots :)

 Training an eclectus parrot to talk
by: Tracie

It takes time to train a bird to repeat words. Some birds never repeat words. You will need to continue to develop a relationship with your bird so that it wants to please you and communicate with you.
