how can i teach missy to talk

[sammy2850]

is it too late to start now when she is nearly 2 yrs old :budgie:

I don't think it's too late.It may just take a little more time and effort.If you are determined to train and tame her it is well worth it all in the end.There are lots of info on traing your budgies here if you search this site....a few of my best tips would be go at her pace...and don't give up ...on speech I would repeat one word at a time post it so everyone can say it to her and just let her listen to music and tv with you or by herself...I find these things help and a mirror will only slow your progress as thats a budgies best friend:)
