How to teach a parrot to talk: experts share secrets
Many people, instead of the usual dogs and cats, keep birds at home, since such pets have poison with significant advantages.
If we are talking about parrots, then everyone knows that they can be taught to repeat certain words or even entire expressions after us.
We are used to calling it "talking", but birds are just imitating the sounds they hear. Some believe that only large birds can be trained to perform this interesting skill, but even budgies can learn to repeat the statements you choose.
How to achieve success in this case?
Experts note that the main task is to be patient. Even a smart and capable bird can take several months to learn just one word.
Don't worry and give up: after you teach your parrot one word, the rest of the process will be much easier.
It is worth choosing the word you need and repeating it every day at a slow pace several times. Some people think that you can simply put a recording of your voice, but the bird will learn faster if you take direct part in this process. As a rule, you can safely allocate only 15 minutes a day for training.
This amount of time will be quite enough for quality training. However, it is worth considering the individual characteristics of your pet. For some, the training time can be increased, but some parrots get tired much faster.
It is worth starting the learning process early. In this case, the chances of success will be much higher.
If the parrot is successful, it is essential to "encourage" it with tasty treats.
Once the bird can learn a few simple words, you can move on to expressions.
