All About Maintaining Birds - Teaching Your Parrot To Talk
We're going to get to the training process in this last of our series of teaching
your bird to talk.The best time to teach your bird to talk, if at all possible, is when the bird is right out of its nest. Training while your bird is still on formula is the best to start. Young birds is much easier to train because they bond with people during these times. It will respond well if you practice with patience with your bird.A parrot that is young does not talk right away. It is not going to be interested in learning speech while it is still "clucking" for food.
Even though they are too young to talk, they will recognize words at this age.Bigger parrots speak between 6 and 12 months while smaller parrots begin to speak between 4 and 6 months.In a year parrots will not learn anymore words. Still others will learn a new word from time to time but for the most part their learning days are over. Therefore picking an older bird that is also afraid of people gives you almost no chance of coming away with a talker. Male birds are much better talker than female birds, as for the sex of the bird. Most of the time it is impossible to tell the sex of a bird just by looking at it. A blood test is often required.
Efficient teaching of the bird is early in the morning or late at night. When birds gather to eat and congregate with other birds, this corresponds with the times. In these times parrots are very noisy. Quiet them not. Just get used to it.Positive reinforcement is a great tool, in order to make learning easier. Try to give him healthy snacks and reward it with food when your bird begins to talk. As this continues your parrot will more look forward to the training sessions. When teaching your bird to talk, turn off all TV sets and radios. Absolutely you want it quiet. Sunlight is needed. The bird's attention must be on you. When you speak to it, the bird will take notice.
Say the word you are teaching the bird in a loud clear voice and hesitate between each repetition of the word.Try to associate the word with some kind of action. Birds learn quicker this way.While teaching the bird use objects that is small and bright in color. Reward it by giving the bird the object if the bird gets the word.Grape, paper, box, corn, carrot, nail, water, treat, bean, and rock are the words learn easily by birds.Make it a start by using these words.The first words are the hardest for the parrots to learn.
Until the bird reaches the age where it can't learn any more, but before that they begin to come easier.Teaching your bird to talk can be a very fun and rewarding experience. You should find that your parrot develops quite a vocabulary if you have patience and follow the above guidelines. Though you may have a lot of trouble getting him to be quiet.
