The choice of birds for the home with the ability to speak is a rather complicated process. Not every parrot will be able to pronounce individual words and phrases. Certain forms of bird behavior can tell which birds can speak and which cannot.
Instructions
Step 1
Choose the right breed. Indian necklace parrots have a reputation for being good "speakers". This breed is distinguished by its ability to pronounce many human phrases clearly and correctly. Also the most famous varieties of "talker" are African grays, Amazons, Quakers, macaws and budgerigars.
Step 2
Choose a poultry that has been raised at home and not taken from the wild. Tame parrots are more likely to develop speech. Buy a book about caring for poultry, for example, the well-known manual by E. L. Luscher "Peculiarities of the behavior of parrots." This will help you get to know the interesting features of a bird that can speak.
Step 3
Spend some time at the pet store watching the parrots. A bird that likes to make sounds as often as possible is likely to imitate speech over time. To determine this, you need to observe the birds for a long time. Pay special attention to the most vociferous representatives.
Step 4
Stop at a bird that is curious and interested in the world around it. This interest can take many forms. The bird can lean forward, stretch its wings, shake its head from side to side. Parrots interested in their surroundings are usually the most learning-oriented.
Step 5
Look at the parrot's eyes to see if they blink when you talk to him. The constriction of the pupil at the same time also indicates that he listens to your speech with interest.
Step 6
Take a closer look at the birds that have already learned to talk. A number of organizations and pet stores keep parrots in good conditions, which favorably affects the development of their skills. Buy your birds only from them. Hear how intelligibly the parrot pronounces the words, and make the right choice!
