It may take some time. I think I remember reading somewhere that

even practice their songs in their sleep. I think the researchers

Boca, my 10-year-old pet starling DID rehearse in his sleep. I raised
him from a naked hatchling and always talked to him while I fed him.
When he was about six weeks old, I heard him mumbling while he was
napping with his head tucked into his back feathers: "boca boca boca
he's a boca, he's a boca boy..."
I'm thinking of adopting Jacque's strategy using my old laptop to
train the juvenile starling, Bico, that the cat dragged in the other
day.
t
ps. It is legal to keep starlings in the US. They are not native birds.
