Instruction

1. Training of a parrot in singing needs to be begun when he gets used to the new house and owners. It is the best of all if the bird without fear sits down to you on a hand or a shoulder. Treat a parrot as it is possible more tenderly and at all do not punish if he does not show eagerness to study. Success of any training – patience, persistence and repetitions. Lessons should be conducted at certain one o'clock in the afternoon, it is better in the morning. If birds in the house a little, before training of a parrot it is necessary to transplant to the neighboring room that interfered nothing with it.

2. To teach a parrot to sing the easiest way – to include to it an audio recording with the chosen melody. The interval between repetitions has to make 10-15 seconds. It is possible to use also records of singing of other birds, for example, of a nightingale. Track that record was qualitative as some birds masterly reproduce all heard sounds including noise. If to train a parrot 3-4 times a day, he will learn to whistle also quite difficult melodies. Occupation at the same time has to last not less than 40 minutes. When the lesson comes to an end, fill to a parrot of sterns and put a cage on its ordinary place.

3. If you decided to provide training independently, sit down opposite to a cage or put a parrot on a hand and begin to whistle the chosen motive or to sing lyrics. In the second case the training will longer last, to reproduce melodies without words the parrots study much easier and quicker, than to singing with words. The human speech is difficult for birds, but regular lessons will help to break "language barrier". Sing always equally, distinctly and exactly. Do not force a parrot to learn all song at once: when he masters the first couplet, pass to the following. Do not forget to encourage a parrot with delicacies if he makes progress.
