Teaching Your Bird To Talk

Teaching Your Bird To Talk.

Before you start, check out this outstanding Parrot Talking Course. Your bird will be talking faster and easier than you ever thought possible.

This remarkable course also works to teach big or smaller species, older birds or birds with difficult personalities, and even teaches tough, stubborn, 'Non-Talkers' to speak clearly, sing beautifully and whistle a happy tune.

Using this 'Real Speech' system for only 15 minutes a day, teaches your parrot how to speak more words, phrases and songs than you can ever imagine. Even species that can't talk whistle your favorite tunes.

If you really want a talking bird, you should consider birds that have remarkable talking ability. At the top of the list should be African Greys, Yellow Naped and Blue Fronted Amazons, Indian Ringnecks, Quakers, and to a lesser extent - Macaws.

It is very important for you to interact directly with the bird. You need to actually have a conversation with him. Don't expect to teach your bird with tapes, dvd's or computerized programs. Birds learn to talk the fastest when the owner takes the time and effort to really talk to the bird.

It is best to teach the bird out-of-sight of his cage. He needs 100% of his attention on you instead of trying to get back to the safety of his cage.

Make sure you get some "props" to help you communicate with the bird. Use simple objects such as colored blocks, balls or other shapes to keep the bird interested. You can also use distinctive foods like apples, bananas and grapes as teaching aids to help them associate the words. Saying the words while showing them the objects or foods will help the bird to learn much faster - and before you know it - he will be associating the object with the word.

Don't just repeating the same words over and over. You must really talk to the bird - just as you would talk to a baby. It's much better to actually have a conversation with the bird while using the objects to intensify the birds interest. For example, when offering a treat, make sure to clearly show the treat, while at the same time clearly pronouncing the name of the treat - so the bird will remember it.

By keeping the sessions short, fun and interesting - the bird will learn faster.
