Welcome to Clever Parrot
We are all fascinated with birds that can talk. Not only are parrots beautiful in color
and movement, but the very fact that they can speak captures our attention in a way that few other birds can do.
Parrot's ability to talk or mimic is related to their gregarious nature. Parrots have
a long life span and are very social. In the wild, parrot chicks learn to mimic
vocalizations specific to their parents. As they play or work together, these parrots
repeat vocalizations to each other, which helps keep bonds strong.
There are many different types of parrots, each with an interesting history and
unique personality. With so many to choose from, it is important that before going
out and buying just any parrot, you know as much as possible about the specific
breeds available.
On this site we will firstly look at the different species of parrots available. Where you can buy your parrot and how best to pick
which one is right for you. We are then going
to take a close look at how you can establish a relationship with your parrot.
You will then learn how
to set up your parrots optimal environment, taking into account what cages, grooming, diet, toys etc.
After this you are going to discover a variety of techniques you can put into practise to
get your parrot to talk, including reproducing human speech.

Getting Your Parrot to Talk continued......
Parrot related exercises Audio Tapes continued.....
. The Complete Canary Album - This is a beautiful recording of canaries
singing with and without orchestral accompaniment.
. Train Your Bird to Talk - This recording includes phrases in Italian,
Spanish, German, Chinese, French, and Tai. There are also lessons
given by a singing and talking parrot.
If you have purchased a baby parrot and finished hand-feeding it yourself,
leaving it alone in the cage and playing a recording will be confusing.
Although some parrots do pick up some phrases this way, your bird will
probably learn far better by interacting with you. A recording provides
consistent input, while a live trainer may begin to slur and change input
during the training period, perhaps even making it difficult for the bird to
understand what it's supposed to learn. Reinforce any recordings you use
by speaking the same word or phrase that is played, pronouncing each word
carefully and keeping training periods short.
ACTION PLAN:
Play continuous loop audio-tapes for hours during your bird's
favorite activity. Limit the time to no more than 15 minutes at a time
since longer periods can cause boredom. If you prefer, you can make
a tape of your own choosing what you want to teach your bird. You
can give your parrot several lessons a day but do not rush the bird or
you might do more harm than good. Conduct the lessons in a quiet
area away from TV or other distractions such as mirrors.
