In addition to parrots, myna birds also have the ability to speak. Of course, they can only speak some simple words, and even if they want to let myna speak, they must go through a certain amount of training. Getting a starling to talk without good training is almost impossible and requires considerable effort. Therefore, to make the starling speak, it needs to be carefully taught by the owner, and mastering the correct method can improve the training progress a lot, so it cannot be trained blindly.
Myna
There are many things that need our attention in training Myna The first thing to pay attention to is to let the starlings learn to speak, and their pronunciation should be clear and not ambiguous. When training mynah to speak, be sure to train in a quiet room, noise can easily hinder mynah's speech memory. Also, avoid teaching difficult or ambiguous pronunciations, and instead teach clear words.
You can choose to train the starlings when they are fasting. You can use the characteristics of their need for food to use food as a reward, and give them a certain reward when they perform well. It takes a few days to teach a starling to speak a word. During the training period, their memory will improve to a certain extent after about half a year of molting. It is best to train it, especially after bathing it or on an empty stomach. Women or children with higher voices are better trained than those with lower voices.
In fact, we not only teach them when they need training, but the myna usually hears us talking, which will also have a certain influence in a subtle way. The period when the bird's growth enters the youth stage is a very important enlightenment period for training its speech, which will lay a good foundation for future training, so language teaching should be emphasized at this stage.
Time and method for language training:
Early morning and evening are a good time to train the myna to speak, especially when the myna is scrambling to tweet. And we don’t have to go into battle every day when we train mynah to say it. We can use a recording software with better effect and then repeat the words we want to teach, but we also need to pay attention to the time interval, not too frequent, because we still need to Give the starling a certain amount of digestion time.
When teaching face-to-face to speak, at the beginning as long as the myna pays attention and says it a few times, you can give it a worm to eat. Reward the bug in time every time the starling responds. Try not to only talk but not reward, or the starling has a reaction but not encouragement. After all, the starling needs to be motivated so that they can learn better.
In fact, we will find in practice that the effect of teaching non-speaking starlings with talking starlings is indeed much faster than teaching face-to-face, although we do not know whether there will be their own language between them. , but there should be some benefits. Therefore, it is recommended to buy two starlings, which can save a lot of time and energy in teaching starlings to speak.
In addition to taking some time and patience to train mynah to speak, the correct method is also very important. It's troublesome for the myna, and once they get used to it, it takes a lot of time to correct it, so it's very important to lay a good foundation.
