Some breeds talk better than others, and even that can vary by individuals.
Greys are supposed to be the best talkers. Once again, consistency and patience is the key. Once the bird picks up a few simple words, it may very well start learning on its own. There are also CD's and tapes with phrases on them. It's a good idea to teach your bird its phone number and address in case it escapes or gets stolen.
