Do parrots speak with accents if their masters speak with one2007-11-24 17:19:20

Parrot owners, do you think your parrot sounds like people in your region?

Answers:

Yes. My African Grey Parrot, Sammi, who is 21 with only one eye speaks with a Welsh accent some words which he learnt before I had him and now, because I have a London, Cockney accent, he has learnt words like "Babes", Mama loves Sammi and Woo Woo Birdie with my accent.

Its quite funny cos he goes from Welsh to Cockey in a sentence. In his Welsh accent he ses "Ah lovely boyo" then he will continue in Cockney with Woo Woo Birdie Woo Woo.

Amazing, I think.

Yes. They mimic their owner's voices identically. so much so that it sounds like the person is in the room.. It's amazing.

---

yes..a parrot does not learn the language, but mimics the sound and voice of the owner.

---

Parrots imitate what they hear. So of course.

Just think it would be great if your parrot can correct your accent problems. every one with a accent probs can raise a parrot in their home or even better you can begin a accents teaching class if you have a parrot as a pet. Great..

Parrots not only imitate the words, but also the accent, tone, etc of the person they are imitating, Our parrot repeats phrases in my voice and my wife's. They have been known to imitate other sounds such as can openers, dot matrix printers, dogs barking, etc.

yes they mimic

No i dont think so but wouldnt it be cool if they did.

---

Oh yes, they mimic! like the African Grey that was in our local pet shop that used to tell people to "bugger off" because kids used to come in an teach it rude words! It had a sign on its cage saying "not for sale" .

All Parrots usually have a very throaty voice emphasising on the alphabet T. May be he can pronounce the words like an American ( yep for yes) but not a very clear and precise accent like a talking Maina.
