Do Macaws naturally learn to talk or do they have to be trained?

Macaws learn to mimic their parents and adult macaws in their early life. Some even mimic other bird sounds. When a Macaw is brought into a human home, they mimic humans because the sounds that humans make are interesting to them and they find out that if they try to make the same sounds as humans, it gets them attention.

For example, it is said to never yell at a screeching parrot because you are doing more harm than good. The parrot is getting exactly what they are wanting-attention. Some Macaws will pick up little tidbits of human speech just by being around us.

However, you can always help them along by training and working with them also. They are like a human child in that they will start out with sounds that you won’t be able to understand. But then they develop words as they go forward.

The more language they are exposed to, the more they will learn. You can repeat certain words or phrases to help the macaw to mimic your voice. But of course, once the bird gets going, then you have to be careful what you do say in front of them.

Hope this helps!

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
