some birds never do learn to talk or imitate a single thing. Some are specialists in sound-effects. Some only talk a little bit. Some do it all. It's all just up to the bird. Don't stop trying though! Constant repetition.

A couple ideas that may help:

You could tape record yourself talking and play it set on repeat in his room where his cage is while you're not there to teach him.

One thing I do is say the name of every thing I hand Skye. I say 'here's some apple' while giving him apple.

Good luck!
