Angela,
You basically got the idea there. What I'd suggest is to focus on that one or two words you like to teach otherwise he just hear a lot of noise. Repeat the words everyday and every time you see him. If he's already making some noise and if you pay close attention you may notice it sounds a little like something the family members say. Pick that out and encourage the bird with favourite treats and a lot of cheer. Try it.

Angel, If you re working with animals already you shouldn't have much difficulty. BTW what organisation and what exactly is the nature of your work?
