Teaching Your Bird to Talk (Hardcover, Abridged Ed)

From two noted experts, the first in-depth book on teaching a bird to talk

Teaching a bird to talk isn’t as difficult as it may seem. This easy-to-follow book walks the reader step by step through the behavioral mechanics of teaching a bird to talk, covering the species likely to talk, the anatomical reasons a bird can talk, and the way a parrot picks up language. It explores field research showing that parrots have regional languages and dialects in the wild and also takes a close look at the work of Dr. Irene Pepperberg, an undisputed authority and well-known researcher in the field of parrot intelligence, who was interviewed extensively for this book.
