Age they should be talking by?

[Kash-alp]

Hello, i was wondering at what age a IRN becomes to set in there ways and has a harder time learning thing,like speaking, if one exsists? I am very excited about picking up my 1 year old IRN today however the previous owner has told me that she has yet to speak. Not that having a bird that talks is what based my decision on getting a IRN but if its still a possibility then i would like to begin training shortly after i recieve her and she is comfortable.

Is 1 year to late to begin teaching it new things? Will it be more dfficult?

thanks for your help.

not too late to start. but some birds never talk and then some dont stop talking.

well the current owner says that sometimes when he holds her it sounds like shes trying to say things but its not very clear. Ill take that as a good sign and hope for the best.
