Question
at approximately what age do sun conures start trying to talk      thank you

Answer
Hello Carolyn.

There is not "set age" for any bird to start talking, but the younger the bird, the easier it will be to teach it to talk.

I was told that my Amazon Parrot started talking when he was 6 months old (I do not know this to be a fact.  I've had him for a year and a half and I do know that he is 18 years old now).

My male cockatiel (Sniffles) started talking when he was about 8 months old.
It really depends on the individual bird.  Some are ready earlier than others.

I hope this helpedto answer your question.

Good luck and God Bless.
