Hi everyone I was looking for some tips on what else I can teach my grey, I've looked thru the sight and a lot of it is teaching responses but she's only six months so not great at talking yet. I have taught her shake hands, turn, put a little ball in a hoop and she has great fun doing these things I was just trying kt think of new things to teach her if anyone has any ideas or videos to share of there grey id be grateful
Many Thanks

Hi Katiejayne

What is your Grey's name?

She is doing okay for 6 months old from the sounds of it.

Talk to your bird whenever you are home.

They absorb words, even though they might not say them for a while.

Below are two links showing how I teach my African Grey Mishka to talk.

Teach Your Bird To Talk

Keep talking to your bird as you would to a human

Good luck need any assistance please feel free to ask

I love the name Fifi !!!!

When Fifi is blabbing, she is actually practicing to talk that is the way they all begin.

Anyone can get their bird to talk just as I did with Mishka, it just takes a lot of patience, perseverance and repetitiveness.

Keep talking and talking you will be surprised in the near future.

There are a lot of easy tricks to teach Fifi and then work towards the harder ones!

I started trick training as soon as i got Fargo at 7 months old!

Here are some tricks i have taught my macaw! If you need any help with how to teach one i would be more than happy to give advice!

Haha thank you Pecan nuts!

They were the main nuts he was fed as a baby at the breeders, so i guess he was raised on them as his favourite! Now he will do anything for them

Each bird is different, i know some birds will do anything for a sunflower seed, whereas Fargo will do the easy tricks for a seed or other nut, but only pecans will get him to do his tricky stuff!

Just gotta find which is their favourite
