Therefore it is preferable to choose the first words with these sounds and they have to be present at a name of a bird. During each occupation and before feeding several times accurately and exactly pronounce one word. Try to tell every time with one intonation and loudness – birds very much are sensitive to it. The first words are usually pledged difficult, but then the speed of assimilation increases. When the parrot begins to repeat after you, give to a bird delicacy.
The second step of training – a phrase
The first phrases for training also have to be simple. Try to connect them with a situation, for example, before feeding you speak "Gosha wants a squash", coming back home – "Good evening". Clever birds easily connect phrases with a situation and use them for designated purpose and to the place. It is necessary to be engaged with the speaking parrot constantly that he did not forget the learned words and acquired new.
