What i did was i clipped my cockatiels flight feathers and recorded his name on my cell.Then i put my cockatiel in his cage (where he feels comfortable) and put my cell phone in there with the recording of his name.It kept replaying his name over and over......Till the point when he started chirping the rhythm of his name and soon enough after a couple of days he was able to say his name. TIP (down below if you are having trouble teaching you bird) Try 1or 2 syllable names for your bird.They have a much easier time saying there name if it is 1 or 2 syllables long. That is just a tip i am giving you.

∙ 15y agoOnly male cockatiels can talk and sing, but females can only sing. To try to get her to sing, bring her into a room with no destractions, look her in the eye and just repeat the same whistle the same thing over again until she starts repeating. The key thing is her attention though, you must have her focus on you and have patience. To have your male cockatiel talk, follow all the same steps when trying to get one to sing.

∙ 13y agoMainly male cockatiels talk, so it will be easier ot teach a male, but a female should learn to talk too. If you want the cockatiel to learn a particular word or phrase, you must repeat it in the same tone and rhythm constantly. After a while, the cockatiel will start to mimick your words. At first, the cockatiel will begin to make gargling sounds and this means the cockatiel is trying to copy your words. Praise it and eventuall the cockatiel will get the hang of the word or phrase.

∙ 14y agoOver and over, say the words that you want your cockatiel to learn. Your bird should be able to pick up the RYTHM of the words rather quickly, but it might take a while (maybe several days to a week) for it to be able to say the words full-on. After a month or so, you should be able to teach your cockatiel to say full sentences. Birds that are new to it's home (just moved in) might need a bit of space before you try to teach it to talk, because it may be feeling rather un-comfortable in it's new surroundings.
