Here are some answers (tips) to frequently asked questions about how to teach a parrot to speak, by adhering to which you will teach your pet to speak quickly
Instructions
Step 1
Can your parrot learn to speak?
You have a great chance to teach your parrot to talk if he is young and loves to sing. How often he hears human speech also affects his success in learning. If he makes different sounds, then most likely you will be able to teach him to pronounce the words.
Your parrot can learn to speak if you interact with him. Studies on sound production in wild birds, carried out in the 90s, showed that young birds, leaving the nest, adopted the "speech" of other herd birds. Being at your home, the parrot will adopt your speech in the same way as he would adopt it from his wild relatives, being at large.
Communication with the bird is necessary in order to teach it to talk. If you turn on the repeating phrase recorder, you will not be successful. Your parrot will be happy to learn words related to food, bathing, your presence, or words spoken emotionally.
Step 2
What simple words or phrases work best for teaching your parrot to speak?
Parrots learn words that are easy for them. For example, these are the names of the foods you feed them. First, use words that have one syllable. Even if the bird doesn't answer you, keep talking to it. When your pet says a word, show him what he said and say the word yourself.
You can also say words related to your actions. Entering the room, say “Hello!”, And leaving - “Bye!”. Seeing how you communicate with your guests, telling them “Hello!”, “How are you?”, “Come in!”, Your parrot will quickly learn these phrases. By constantly communicating with your parrot and telling him simple phrases, confirmed by examples, you will quickly teach him how to speak.
Step 3
What time of day is it best to practice with a parrot? (Better in the morning or in the afternoon?)
You can train your parrot at any time. It is advisable that you talk to the parrot several times a day. Talk to him as if he were a small child. Talk to him about what's going on around him, what you are doing at the moment, especially about his favorite things.
Does a bird have to be obedient to learn to repeat words and phrases?
In teaching a parrot to speak - no matter how obedient he is, his talkativeness is gained with experience. Parrots love to sing, talk, mumble, communicate with people. Use these qualities to connect and befriend him. Being in the room with the parrot, name his favorite things, talk to him when you enter and leave the room. The parrot will sing, no matter how obedient it is. It's good if you have an ear: you can sing together!
