Talking birds such as the African grey, Amazons—yellow napes, blue fronts, red loreds, and double yellowheads are kept as pets. Macaws (Scarlet, blue and gold) and cockatoos may talk with more effort. Mynahs will actually converse. Smaller parrot species such as budgerigars and some parakeets also talk very well. Cockatiels, lovebirds, lorikeets and conures may also talk, but with more effort. The key in learning to talk is their willingness to listen, alertness, and interest.
