   Birds only have an attention span of about 10 minutes. Stand in front of her while she is in her cage, make sure there are no distractions. Sing the song to her, slowly and plainly. Give her a rest period for a few hours, and start again. She may start to sing just a few words of it at first. You will have to continue to sing the whole song to her, including what she already sings. This can take a long time. You will have to do it 4 or 5 times a day at least, every day. Just remember to keep the sessions short or she is not going to even pay attention. Please read my profile

   Sing it to her. I think that the music in the background may be confusing her. But sing to her around the same time everyday. It will take some time for her to learn to repeat. Constant Vigilance!

   If it’s a female amazon, she likely won’t sing the song like you would like. She may learn a few lines or words, but don’t put your expectations too high.
   First of all, youtube is hardly what I would call good training. The bird would much rather hear your voice. In the morning when your bird begins her calling to you, begin to sing when you aren’t in the room. She makes so much noise because she’s trying to reach you. So if you sing when you aren’t in the room so she can hear, she’ll begin to imitate that noise. It may take months and months, but you should then start to hear a few lines, maybe garbled at you when you wake up in the morning. Good luck! (our amazon had a rather small 12 word vocabulary, but he did learn when to use each of them when we prompted)
