Do parrots talk? Why do parrots talk?

No, you need to train specifically.

Parrots are known to be able to speak. Of course, in addition to parrots, wrens and starlings can also learn human language. Birds that can learn human language are first of all good at imitating the song of other birds and are good at singing themselves, and secondly, they have large mouths and fleshy, soft and short round tongues.

In addition, it also has the characteristics of being docile and docile, and not shy.

1. Preparation before teaching.

1) Domestication: The birds that are ready to teach should select the young birds that have grown their feathers in the year, and the old birds are generally not the teaching objects because of their slow response. Before teaching, the bird should be able to live a stable life in the cage or on the rack, not easily frightened, very tame, and willing to approach people.

The parrot should be able to tame the human hand, be able to stroke its head or back, and let go of the anklet and it will not fly away.

2) Tongue twisting: Among the birds that can learn human language, starlings need to twist their tongues before they can teach human language. Some use the tongue trimming method, using scissors to trim the tip of the tongue into a circle, but it is not as effective and safe as tongue twisting. Parrots don't have to twist their tongues, they can teach human language when tamed.

2. Teaching methods.

2) Environment: Be quiet, there should be no noise and talking, otherwise it is easy to distract the bird, and it will also learn sounds that should not be learned. Therefore, it is best to choose to teach in a quiet room.

3) Content: Choose simple short sentences at the beginning, such as "hello", "welcome - welcome", etc., and the pronunciation should be clear, not vague, and the pronunciation should be slow and not too urgent. Every day, you should repeatedly teach the same sentence to the bird, there should be no change, such as using a tape recorder ** The effect will be better, and it is more labor-saving.

Generally, a sentence can be taught for about a week to be able to learn, and then a few days after learning to speak, and then teach the second sentence, such as the beginning of teaching after the autumn to the following year between March and April can learn a set of sentences, if the response is more sensitive to the bird, you can also teach a simple ballad.

During the teaching of the bird, it can not be allowed to hear boring or inappropriate statements. There is a brief period of time when the bird's language is particularly sensitive, and it is easy to imitate various sounds from the outside world. Once this sensitive period is discovered, it should be seized in time and made good use of it!

Parrots are raised on the shelf, when teaching to talk to it, while shaking the bird frame from side to side, so that the bird develops the conditioned reflex of talking when shaking, after learning, as long as the bird frame is gently pushed, the bird frame shakes left and right, the bird can babble, very interesting. The bird that has been taught to speak human language should often tease its doctrine, and when it is teaching, do not alarm it, so as not to interrupt its doctrine and affect the consolidation of its achievements.

The secret of the parrot's ability to talk lies in its special physiology: its vocal tube and tongue. Although they can speak, the voice of the parrot is different from the vocal cords of humans, and the voice of the parrot is called the tube, which is located at the junction of the trachea and the bronchi, and is composed of 3 to 6 pairs of deformed bronchi in the lowest part of the trachea after being distended and deformed, and 3 pairs of deformed bronchi adjacent to the left and right.

Ordinary birds are able to make different frequencies and different high and low sounds, because when the air flow enters the tube, it makes different sounds with the tremor of the wall of the tube. In addition to the most basic bird characteristics, the voice organs of parrots are more complete than those of ordinary birds.

In the parrot's song pipe, there are four or five pairs of special muscles that adjust the diameter, sound rate, and tension of the song pipe, that is, the song muscle. Under the control of the nervous system, the vocal muscles contract or relax, resulting in a chirping sound.

In terms of the whole organ structure, the vocal tube is also very similar to the structure of the human vocal cords, except that the human vocal cords are 20 centimeters from the throat to the end of the tongue, at a right angle, while the parrot's vocal tube is 15 centimeters from the tongue to the tongue, which is an obtuse angle similar to the right angle. The closer to the right angle, the stronger the sense of syllables and tones of the voice, and the parrot will be able to produce intonation and syllables like humans.

Speaking of the tongue, the tongue of the parrot is very developed, sleek, fat and soft, and the shape is very similar to the human tongue, and it is precisely because of these standard vocal conditions that the parrot can produce some simple but accurate and clear syllables. Parrots have beautiful feathers, well-behaved and agile spirituality, and can imitate human language, so they are loved by people.

There are thousands of animals in the world, why is it that only parrots can speak?

One of the biggest secrets is that the parrot's special physiological structure is the song tube and the tongue The parrot's song tube is very similar to the structure of the human vocal cords, and the parrot's tongue is round and soft, and the shape is similar to the human tongue, so it has good vocal conditions, so the parrot has a strong ability to imitate, but learning to speak human language is often due to the conditioned reflex to obtain food.

Because, because, I hate him the most.
