How to quickly teach a parrot?

Acquiring a parrot, each owner dreams that the beloved bird as soon as possible learned to speak. What should I do to get your pet speechless? Future owners sometimes think that the ability to imitate human speech depends solely on the breed. He brought a cockatoo in the house - he would definitely talk, bought a modest, wavy parrot - you'll only listen to the twitter. It's a delusion! Very few people are capable of "maintaining a conversation". The only exceptions are the infernal breeders and several other less common breeds.

When choosing the future "interlocutor" use the recommendations of specialists. How quickly to teach to talk a parrot and what should be done for this?

The first words are usually given especially hard, and then the ability to "talk" develop more and more. Exercise with a bun in milk should be repeated 7-14 days, until the result. The landlord needs to be patient and not irritated at all, even sat down and it turns out that the cunning bird has learned during this time to imitate anything but human speech. Classes should be conducted in the morning, at the same time, before feeding and at least 20-30 minutes. When the parrot learns simple words, go to the next level - teach to speak short phrases. Entering the room, say "Hello!", And when leaving "Goodbye!" Pouring food, say: "Kesha wants to eat!" With proper training, a clever bird remembers the phrases strikingly fast and is quite capable of using them according to the situation: soon your the pet will begin to greet you with you, demand food in the human language and express a protest if he does not like something. Practice shows that it is absolutely necessary for the birds to have in their vocabulary at least two or three words denoting a negative attitude towards what is happening ("Nightmare!", "Disgusting!", "What a shame!", Etc.). When you begin learning phrases, the classes take more time. Ideally, the bird should have three lessons a day in the morning, in the middle of the day and in the evening. If you can not afford it, try using an audio recording. This is a fairly effective tool, but only under one condition: if the record is done correctly. Parrots can best remember women's and children's voices, recorded in the range of 60 to 20 000 Hz. Words and individual sentences should be recorded with an interval of 10-15 seconds, without extraneous noise. Record include for 40-50 minutes, not too loud. The effect will see, or rather hear, somewhere on the 3rd 4th day after the recording was turned on for the first time. Just remember that even the best technique can not replace a bird with a person, audio recording is an auxiliary tool.

The parrot has acquired a sufficiently rich vocabulary from individual words, but at the same time it is difficult to memorize sentences? Sing! Pronounce the usual phrases in a sing-song manner, humming short songs with simple words. And it will be better if your pet first hears your singing during direct communication, and then listens to the same in the recording. Music birds love, and most likely, the bird will remember the motive, at first it will repeat it without words, and then it will reproduce the text. When you teach the parrot to sentences and phrases, do not forget that your bird remembers what was heard as one. If you change the intonation or the order of words in a song or sentence, the parrot will not be able to correctly reproduce them. Hearing distorted, from her point of view, sounds, the bird puzzled silently, and then, most likely, will switch to native bird language. For example, you want a pet to say: "Welcome! I'm glad to see you! "It is in such a sequence that he needs to be told again, not saying" I am glad to see you! Welcome!"
