That is what Parrots do, right? 

If you want a lovebird so that it can learn to talk - Don't bother!

 

Yes, lovebirds can learn to mimic human speech.  When they do it is difficult to distinguish.  They have particular difficulty with "f" and "s" sounds.  These little guys are much more the whistle and chirp variety of bird.

The nice thing about lovebird noises is that they are not screamers.  They can get noisy, but it is not as unpleasant as the larger birds.

 

If you are looking for a bird that will learn to speak well, try an African Gray or Cockatoo.  Do remember that these larger birds need a lot more of your time and attention!
