How do parrots learn to speak?

Parrots

It is well known that parrots can learn to speak, but how can they be trained to speak? When you choose a parrot that meets the characteristics of talking, how should you train it?

1. Preparation before teaching

1. Domestication: Young birds with full feathers should be selected for teaching, and old birds are generally not taught because of their slow response. Before teaching, birds should live a stable life in cages or racks, be not frightened and tame, and be willing to approach people. Parrots should be able to tame people's hands, touch their heads or backs, and let go of their anklets, and they will not fly away. The teaching effect of parrots to this extent is the best.

2. Tongue twisting: Among birds that can learn human language, myna needs to twist its tongue before teaching human language. Some use tongue trimming method, and trim the tip of the tongue into a circle with scissors, but it is not as good and safe as twisting the tongue. Parrots can teach human language without twisting their tongues.

Second, teaching methods

1. Time: Early morning is the best, because birds are most active in the morning, when birds are not full, and the teaching effect is good.

2. Environment: Be quiet, and there should be no noise and conversation, otherwise it will easily distract the birds' attention and learn sounds that they should not learn. Therefore, it is best to choose to teach in a quiet room.

3. Content: Choose simple short sentences at the beginning, such as "Hello" and "Welcome-Welcome". When teaching, pronounce clearly, not vaguely, and pronounce slowly and not too hastily. Teach birds the same sentence repeatedly every day, and there should be no change. If you play it with a tape recorder, it will be better and more labor-saving. Generally, one sentence can be taught for about a week, and then the second sentence can be taught after a few days of consolidation. For example, a group of sentences can be learned from the beginning of teaching in autumn to March-April of the following year, and simple ballads can be taught to birds with sensitive reactions.
