Yukon in the morning when the first set of lights turn on. Will sit there and just try his heart out to talk. Every once in a while I will hear a word but he talks so fast I just can't catch it. He just keeps flapping away like a baby, and he gets Pegasus going they sound like two babies having a conversation. They are both 6 months old.
 
Send a Pic. Listening as they learn to talk and mimic is so much fun.

You are not going to believe what happened. Yukon has founds his words.
He doesn't say much around me yet. I was working on my bench that's next to the cages and he started talking.
He says (Are you alright)(what are you doing)( High Ho) I sing to them in the morning the seven dwarfs.
And the best is I have a clock in there room that has game birds on them. So every hour a new bird calls out. At noon its a turkey. He sound just like the clock.

The MORE that you talk to him/her/them . . . 1s that sooner, or later, they all emulate. Unfortunately in their own way, and mimic.
I have found by repeating what they say, in order to make more a known specific language mimic , into the language everybody else understands is the key; after all only you know and experience the learning curve from when the bird started to try, to until now .
Don't rest on your laurels . . . start singing; and believe me, sometime in the future your bird will start to respond.
I have 6 out of 6 talking, a few at different stages of "clarification"; and 3 out of the 6 singing; of the 3, 1 I can't stop when she starts and the other 2 are still like trying to start your car when its cold or frozen.... but like the car , those 2 will start someday, sometime
 
I love it when my guys learn to talk. Yvons, my grey, is learning some different things and constantly says 'NO!', like I do with the dog. I have a very naughty dog, sigh.
 
I agree. From what you wrote it looks like you have a cadence he likes. Definitely keep that up.
