What to pay attention to when training parrots to speak

How to teach parrots to speak better

1. Training parrots to speak should start from their years Start teaching at a young age. Teaching parrots to speak is the same as teaching children to speak. It has to start from a baby, and no matter what kind of parrot, once it misses the learning age, it will be difficult to learn to speak again. As for when to teach parrots to speak, it also depends on the species of parrots they raise. Parrot species such as Alexander and Big Scarlet-breasted are generally taught after they are 4 months old and weaned.

2. Before formally training the parrot to speak, pay attention to let it concentrate and be careful not to have other moving objects distract it. The best thing is to achieve the effect that the bird can watch you speak sideways, because it shows that it is listening and learning carefully.

3. Try to choose in the early morning or evening when training parrots to speak, because parrots are usually more excited at these times, which can have a better training effect. You can also train it on a regular basis, but the effect is relatively not as good. Pay attention to try to avoid teaching it to speak at 1-2 o’clock in the afternoon, because most parrots have the habit of taking a nap, and teaching it to speak at this time has little effect.

4. When teaching a parrot to speak, the voice should be loud, and it is best to use a child’s voice or a female voice for teaching, because the male’s voice is relatively low, and the vocal range of the parrot’s sac is quite different. , so teaching with a male voice is relatively difficult.

5. When training, pay attention to clear words and slow down the rhythm. When a parrot learns to speak, it is imitating the human voice. It is not a tape recorder. It is difficult for parrots to remember words that are too fast or unclear. So sometimes I don’t blame the bird for not speaking clearly. After all, the problem lies with the teaching people.

6. Pay attention to teaching every day. Parrot imitating human speech is a kind of memory behavior. If you want a parrot to remember what you teach it, it needs to be trained and taught every day. Sometimes it takes more than a month for a parrot to learn a word. And when you first teach a parrot to speak, you should try to teach it some relatively simple and easy-to-speak words, such as “good”, “hello” and other phrases, otherwise the parrot will be asked to say too long or too complicated words at the beginning , parrots are difficult to learn, which will only waste more time.

7. Pay attention to maintaining an appropriate training frequency

The training frequency of teaching parrots to speak is not particularly accurate scientifically, but it is best not to exceed 15 minutes each time you train parrots to speak Otherwise, it is difficult for the parrot’s spirit to concentrate for such a long time, which will cause it to have no intention of learning. Therefore, each training should not exceed 15 minutes.

8. Create a suitable training environment

Training parrots to speak should be carried out in a quiet environment, so that it is only convenient for the young birds to hear the teaching pronunciation, and it also helps the birds to concentrate study. However, if it is an informal teaching situation, it is also a good thing to let the parrot listen to other sounds, which can improve the parrot’s interest in learning sounds and consciously imitate it, but be careful not to let the parrot hear swear words or indecent sounds, so as not to cause it to learn to the things that should not be learned.
