Training an African Grey to talk : Mishka

[antoinette]

Below is a link where Mishka is talking

I taught Mishka to say doggies
Then added on doggies are barking
Then added on doggies are barking woof woof
Then added on Jenny's doggies are barking woof woof

Mishka was saying Jenny's barking woof woof
Corrected her and said Jenny's doggies ARE barking woof woof

This process took about a week for her to learn

Enjoy
Take care

Hi SB thanks for the compliment !!!

It just takes time, patience and a hell of a lot of repeating and repeating.
Making sure they understand what they are being taught, speaking clearly and slowly.

Keep on doing exactly what you are, you have already had some great results.

Take care

Hey Ecclipse, glad my nephew, Hugo is doing much better and being himself again.
You did a great job, nursing him, giving him loads of love and affection.
I AM SO SO SO PROUD OF YOU

Mishka sings the first line of Baa Baa Black Sheep, sounds so cool.
When I try record her. she then sings Baa Baa Black Mishka LoL.
We are watching the American Idols, she just loves it. Tonight while watching,she was singing along with them. Singing her own words, words which I have taught her.
Must try video her, but when a camera is nearby, she just stares at it.
ONE day I will get her on camera !!!!
Take care
Kisses to you both
