Hi
Well some birds talk some don't it's up to them not a given thing.
Training wiseyou need the training section and the following threads
Lots of time and patience and then another dollop of the same. It's not just about them learning to "read us" we need to "read them"
Oh and they are just like human kids ... they get bored really easily so just because you want to doesn't mean they want to. It's a game of balance and reading what you bird is trying to tell you
You'll get there as long as you are will to put in the time and effort stay cool calm and collected and remember they are not dogs and cats trained easily as food driven, these are not really pets they are companions and very very smart.
Some catch on really fast others well they can take their time just like us humans

Reinforcement, Reinforcers, And How To Identify And Use Them
Reinforcement, Reinforcers, and how to identify and use them Reinforcement If the outcome to a behaviour is desirable, then we will repeat that behaviour. That outcome or consequence to the behaviour is therefore said to be reinforcing. Positive Reinforcement As trainers we can engineer the...

Reinforcers And Parrots Who Are Fearful Of Humans
Reinforcers and how to use them with a Parrot who is fearful of humans Building a history of Reinforcement from almost nothing We all have to start somewhere. A new parrot will have had no time yet to build a nice long history of reinforcement with us. Maybe that parrot is used to humans and...

Teaching a reliable step up and trouble shooting
How do we train a reliable step up? One that takes place pretty much every time we ask? If a consequence/outcome to a behaviour (the step up) is reinforcing, the parrot will most likely repeat the behaviour in the future. So let’s choose a good reinforcer for our individual parrot: For some...

Shaping the step up (back to basics)
Shaping is a wonderful tool to teach any single behaviour without force. Since some parrots have a strong fear response to hands I thought it would be useful to show how to shape stepping up onto a hand held perch. Before we can even begin shaping the step up we may have to introduce our...

Some birds will never talk - or, they can actually learn a word and choose to stop saying it.
You will read/hear some people saying that a certain species is known to talk, a gender of species (e.g. male Budgies) is known to talk, etc. but it's never guaranteed. Also, it doesn't mean that the bird is unhappy with you. They just don't want to talk.
Sprite, our female Sun Conure, says about a dozen words/phrases. We never tried to teach her to say any. She decided what she wanted to repeat.

The only talker I have used to speak Punjabi but never heard anything, he does use some english words and phrases and changed one from cookies to walkies. It is hilarious what they choose to repeat back, relax and enjoy hun ditto @DizzyBlue's comments.
I guess he is using 'hello' as potentially a cue that he wants interaction hun.
