The cockatiel parrot, aka nymph, is popular due to its spectacular appearance, as well as talkativeness. Those who were not familiar with this species of birds before the time of purchase believe that the talkativeness of the cockatiel is predetermined by its origin. But in practice, certain difficulties may arise with training.
Instructions
Step 1
Start learning with the simplest words, the name of the feathered pet is suitable as the first. If a parrot nymph can reproduce it, then you can go to simple phrases from the series "how are you" or "beautiful bird".
Step 2
Repeat the phrase daily, over and over again. Even after the parrot remembers it and can repeat it, periodically you need to voice the phrase in a new way, otherwise the acquired skill may be lost. The more often a bird hears a sound, the more successfully it reproduces it, therefore sometimes it is much easier to hear an imitation of a phone call or the sound of an alarm clock from a nymph than the simplest phrase. It is simply impossible to predict in advance whether a bird will talk.
Step 3
In order for the bird to have time to master the previously voiced material and not forget it, it is advisable to conduct lessons twice a day and not introduce new words into the lexicon until the nymph has learned the words that the parrot was introduced to earlier.
Step 4
If there is absolutely not enough time to teach the nymph to speak, use modern technologies: daily play recordings of the desired words or melodies for the parrot. The duration of training depends on the individual abilities of the bird and the perseverance of the owner: a few weeks are enough for some, while others do not lend themselves to training in principle.
