What kind of starlings do you want to buy so that you can teach to speak?

It's the same with everything, as long as you have patience.

Starling The myna is one of the most common caged birds in China and has a long history in our country. Anyone who has never owned this bird has heard of it or seen it on TV. There is an ancient saying in my country called "skillful mouth starling", so the question is, why do starlings speak?

Why do starlings speak? The secret lies in its physiology——— the tubes and tongue. Starling's vocal organ is called the vocal tube, which is located at the junction of the trachea and bronchi, and there are four or five pairs of special muscles in its vocal tube - the vocal muscle, which contracts or relaxes under the control of the nervous system and makes a chirping sound.

The structure of the myna tube is also similar to that of the human vocal cords. The vocal cords of a human being are 20 centimeters from the throat to the tip of the tongue at a right angle, while the myna has a vocal tube that reaches the tongue at an obtuse angle of approximately right angles. The closer to the right angle, the stronger the sense of syllables and tones of the voice, so the starling can make a voice like a human.

Starling's tongue is also well developed and similar in shape to a human tongue, because it has standard vocal conditions to "speak". Among the birds, in addition to starlings, parrots and wrens (more on page) also learn to speak.

People are diligent and birdy, and they can speak if they teach more, but the birds must be caged, and they are released to play when they have nothing to do. Don't believe those who cut their tongues and twist their tongues, birds speak with their throats, not with their tongues.

The best way to teach starlings to speak is as follows:

The better the quality of the chicks, the more frequent the chicks. When the chick chirps, it is time to start training the learner. The method starts with simple pronunciations and gradually combines them into short languages.

When it screams, it pronounces simple sounds such as"Ah, eight, got, hey, ha, le"and so on gradually transition into simple language. Such as:"Starling, cat, Mi woo, hello"Wait.

During the study period, the tongue must be twisted, and when the chicks are crying frequently, it is necessary to observe the age and tenderness of the tongue cocoon, and it is best to twist the tongue when the cocoon has grown, but it has not yet grown thick. The first tongue twisting of chicks takes place from the end of June to mid-July. It is better to do the tongue twisting in the evening.

The method of tongue twisting is to hold the chick with the left hand and pull out the tongue, and use the index finger and thumb of the right hand to twist the tongue.

To prevent the tongue from slipping, the index finger and the bottom of the tongue should be smeared with fragrant ash. When twisting, place the tongue on the index finger, press the tongue with the thumb, and gently twist the left and right sides to separate the cocoon from the tongue. The quality of this treatment is the key to the study of starling.

Improper tongue twisting can cause inability to learn to speak, and at worst cause the chicks to die without eating.

A second tongue twist is performed at the end of September, and the good chicks are able to speak in October. If the chicks still fail to learn human language before the Spring Festival of that year, they will not be able to learn the language because their pronunciation has been basically finalized.

The tame starling constantly learns new human language, and by the autumn of the second year, he can learn 3-5 human language. You can learn more and start talking to people. In general, birds need to be recuperated until the third year to reach the level of speech proficiency.
