I have taken him to the vets and they said that he will pick up the idiosyncrasies of those around, well no one has a speech impediment, an there is a distinct lisp, i dont mean to upset any of the gay community in ED if you are i apologise the african gay was a cheap crack.

Think about how you feel when they are lisping. Make yourself aware of their emotions when they start lisping generally most Parrots who lisp do so when they are excited. Pause and calm them down by breathing slowly, then continue to talk as you want it to mimic.

My Friend had a budgie that was taught only to tweet silently! Really funniest thing ever, he would puff himself up to start his rendition and all that came out was a barely audible squeak!
