Some parrots will not gain the ability to talk it is just how they are. The best way is just to have conversations with him and around him and he will pick u what he wants.

So I am guessing you are a female, the best way to get your bird to stop hating men would be to socialize this bird. Take him to places with you like pet stores and other places that allow pets. Be sure he is clipped or in a harness first and keep him in a carrier outside just for his safety. As well the two men you described must know how to work with him, like what his body language is and what sets him off. They also cannot be afraid of him but can't be to forceful. They need to know this all because this could be why he hates them as they don't understand his language at times. Ok so back to socializing, take him out with you and offer to step him onto people, he is outside of his element so he should act slightly different. The first few times you take him out just let people talk to him after he adjusts to this kind of trip let him have the chance to meet new people by stepping up on them. Watch and understand his body language so you can tell what he is thinking to prevent someone from getting hurt.

Now for the two men you referenced to, start by letting them give him treats. The stuff he likes and makes him happy, this will relate them with a good memory to him. Neatly when they work with you should not be around or he will act differently because he prefers you. Once you are out of the room let them start working with him and see we're it goes. If he is ok you could let them teach him how to step on a stick first or if he is ok with towels teach him to step up onto a towel and be ok with that. This can be used so when he bites it won't really hurt and it will give them the chance to teach him something and bond with the little sunny guy.

Hope is helps ask a question if you are unsure of something :).
