How do you choose the parrot that is most capable of speaking? Following the recommendations and selection criteria outlined in the article, it will be a little easier to do. The selection of poultry with the ability to speak is a complex process. Parrots are considered the most capable of pronouncing words. But not every parrot can quickly learn to speak, clearly pronouncing sounds, words and phrases. It turns out that parrots also have makings. Some parrots are more prone to learning to speak, while others are less talented and malleable. Which pets are "born to talk" and which are not, can be determined by the behavior of the birds. This, in fact, will help you make the right choice when buying a parrot.
Criteria for choosing a parrot capable of speaking:
1. The first thing to do is choose the right breed. Indian necklace parrots have a reputation for being good "speakers". This breed has an exceptional ability to pronounce many phrases correctly and accurately. Also known varieties of "talker" are African gray parrots, Amazons, macaws, Quakers and budgerigars.
2. Look for poultry raised in a nursery or at home, but not taken from the wild. This is due to the fact that wild parrots are extremely difficult to adapt at home, and even more so, learn to speak. Tame parrots, on the contrary, are prone to rapid speech development.
3. Spend some time at the pet store watching the parrots. A bird that loves to make sounds as often as possible is most likely inclined to imitate human speech. Particular attention should be paid to the most vociferous birds. To determine this, you need to observe the birds for a long time. Naturally, you do not need to sit in a pet store for several hours and watch them, but it is worth taking 10-15 minutes, even after 5 minutes it will be possible to identify the most "chatty" parrot.
4. Pay attention to the bird that shows the greatest curiosity and interest in the world around it (shakes its head, leans forward, examines passers-by). Tame parrots, interested in the events taking place around them, are the most inclined to learn. 5. If the preliminary selection has already been made, try to talk a little with the parrot you like. Take a closer look at his eyes when talking: if the pupils narrow when you turn to him, then the parrot is listening to the speech with interest.
6. You can also see birds that are already trained and can talk pretty well. Today, in a number of pet stores, you can find birds that were kept in good conditions and learned to reproduce human speech (talk). You can buy a pet there. But first, listen to if the parrot articulates the words clearly.
A good solution would be to buy a special book on caring for parrots. It will allow the owner to get to know his pet better and create comfortable conditions for him. And this, in turn, will affect the quality and speed of learning. Good luck to you and your pets!
