The Parakeet Training Record claimed that it was "the tested and proven self-instruction method that starts your parakeet talking sooner. The first words and phrases are the most difficult for parakeets to learn. With this record, however, your parakeet will break that ‘first-word barrier’ fast.
In an amazingly short time, your parakeet will actually teach himself to talk, simply through listening and imitating the words and phrases on this record. The words have been carefully selected because they consist of sounds that parakeets find easy to duplicate. These words are professionally presented in the most ideal manner – spoken slowly and distinctly by a voice with perfect diction. They are repeated over and over, in the same tone of voice, at the proper pitch, at the exact rate that parakeets will most readily imitate.
Once your parakeet learns the words and phrases on this record, you should have no difficulty with his further training. He will quickly pick up other words and rapidly develop a large vocabulary. Just play the record on your phonograph and let your bird perch near the speaker. By giving your bird a “lesson” several times each day, you will soon be rewarded by hearing him repeat the words and phrases he has heard so often."
