Some species of parrots are capable to remember no more than dozen of words while others – several dozen phrases and even to learn songs. However a lot of things depend on skill and patience of "teacher" who will be engaged with a bird.
Instruction
1. It is possible to train in pronunciation of short or long words both a male, and a female. If at your place there live two or more parrots, it is necessary to conduct "lessons" with each bird separately. That to which of family the bird with pleasure goes on hands has to train her in the "human" speech, accepts food from a palm, etc. Besides, the person has to have balanced character which in the course of methodical repetition of the same words would not be able to afford to strike a cage or to start shouting at a bird.
2. The age of your favourite is younger, the it will be simpler to train it. That your feathery friend started talking quicker, find time for classes daily. It is the best of all to break them into 2-3 approaches 10-15 minutes. It is important that in these intervals of time indoors where there pass "lessons", it was silent as it is very easy to distract a parrot even an almost inaudible sound. You keep in readiness tasty delicacy for the favourite, when he will learn the first word, it needs a prize for long efforts.
3. Begin with one-two easy words which would consist of two syllables and included a sound "р", for example, "hi". You say it over and over again in the same tone, making pauses, identical on duration. The less time will pass between the last classes, the it is more than chances of fast storing of sounds. From time to time you can include I will scare tape recording of own voice, but it is necessary to do it infrequently and strictly later (but not instead of) how you talk to a bird "alive".
4. One more important point: if you want to teach a parrot to tell words or the phrases appropriate in any given situation try to say them at the right time. Do you wish that the feathery friend welcomed you or said goodbye? Every time, entering the house, repeat "hi" ("hi", "good morning", "What people!", etc.), and leaving – "so far" ("to fast", "come still"). Giving food, the ridiculous phrase connected with feeding can accustom him, for example "Feed me!", etc.
