Training your African Grey can be an enjoyable interaction for both you and your bird. As with training any animal there are several thing you can do to make the whole ordeal easier for you and your feathered companion.

Since parrots, by nature, love to have fun and interact with their surroundings this make them highly susceptible to training. The key is to combine their two favorite things; food and interaction; this will make a great equation for training success.

Here’s a simple way to start training your Grey, for this lesson you will need a helper. Get your volunteer and the bird together in the same room. Now get an item such as an apple. We’re going to teach your parrot to say “apple”.

First turn to you helper and say “apple” have them repeat the word but mess up on the first try. Have them say “App” you say no “Apple”. The student then says apple and receives the treat. Now turn to you African Grey and repeat the process. If the bird is reluctant to say the word, just turn to the student and do the same thing over. Pretty soon the grey will be overcome with jealousy and have no choice but to utter the word so he can receive the reward.

This is a very effective method to teach your African Grey Parrot new words. This method works because the bird sees exactly what you want, and what the reward is.

I hope that this has opened your eyes on different ways you can train your parrot.
