When it comes to parrots, it's often said that males usually pick up speech better than females, but of course, there are plenty of exceptions to that rule!
To train a bird to talk, the best thing to do is to consistently repeat a phrase or word for several minutes, several times a day. Some people play recordings of speech to their birds to help speed up the process.
My cockatiel finally said his name yesterday, after almost a year and a half of practice! I haven't really been consistent with the speech training, though. We've been working more on the whistling.
