why parrots don’t speak

The reason why the parrot can’t speak

1, does not meet the requirements

The ability of parrots to learn tongue is the basic requirement for parrots to speak, but in fact, there are relatively few species of parrots that have the ability to learn and express human language, and most of them can only learn some monophonic or simple sounds. Among them, the common parrot species that have the ability to learn to speak are African grey parrots, Amazon parrots, sunflower parrots, macaws and big scarlet-breasted parrots. All in all, the ability of a parrot to learn tongue is the premise of its learning to speak. If the parrot does not have this ability, no matter how hard it is trained, it is unlikely to teach it to speak.

2. The training method is wrong

Under the condition that the parrot has the ability to learn tongues, in order for it to imitate your speech, it must be fully trained, and the training method Get it right, or the parrot may still not be able to learn to speak. Teaching parrots to speak is a kind of simulation training. Generally, training parrots in the early morning can achieve better results, because parrots are most concentrated at this time and are in an empty stomach, so at this time, holding food to induce them to speak can usually be achieved. To achieve better results, early morning is the best time for parrot simulation training.

Note that when training parrots, the birds should be allowed to focus on themselves, so they should be trained in a quieter environment, and prevent other objects from interfering with them. Parrot, it is very important to do this well.

In addition, the training of parrots should be carried out from simple to complex. First, the parrots say some short words, such as names or short greetings. These words are relatively easy to learn, and the parrots gradually learn more Teach it to say longer sentences or songs after the short words. At the same time, it should also be noted that although imitating sounds is a natural ability of parrots, if they are not articulated clearly when they speak, the parrot’s tongue performance often does not achieve the desired effect. Due to the low voice of males, it is not easy to distinguish this kind of voice from parrots. Generally, the voice of children or girls is used for teaching, which can achieve better results.

Reminder: Although some parrots will imitate the response when the owner makes a specific sound, it cannot be expected to get this kind of response every time. , You can usually train more parrots, let the parrot associate a certain sound with the training situation, and let it develop the habit of imitating.
