Welcome to the Avenue.

There is no guarantee that any parrot will talk/mimic humans. You are best to focus on other things such as how you can provide the best for whatever bird you choose to be responsible for and share your home with.

Hello and welcome!

Like @Shezbug said, any species can have its talkers and non-talkers. For example, I've met some cockatiels that talk like crazy and can say multiple phrases. Mine does not - He can say "what are you doing" and whistle a few tunes, but that's all. Some quakers are amazing talkers, some aren't. Some cockatoos are wild about talking, some aren't (mine can say a few words and phrases, but nothing much).

It's a better idea to more so look at specifics regarding size of the bird, size of the cage you can accommodate, your price range, and things like that.

Talking aside, what are you looking for? Size? Personality?

Finding an adult that is already talking well would be the best chance, but still not a guarantee as they don't always chat in a new environment!

If you really want a baby, figure out the species you want based on cage size and budget for toys, food, etc, and then look up breeders from there. Look for reviews, social media, etc. Make sure to protect yourself! How to Spot a Parrot Scam

If your biggest want for a bird is for them to talk, then you're going to have a hard time.
Any bird may or may not talk, that's not something that should make or break the deal though.
Consider what bird you have time for, what noise level you can handle, energy level, how much you're home, cage size you can do, are you able to afford vet bills? Is there an ethical breeder that you can get a parrot from near you?
