Of all the different species of animals that are commonly
kept as pets, parrots are the only species that are
self-centered creatures who exhibit behaviors that allow
them to get whatever they want, whenever they want it!
This is great information for a parrot owner to know as
this will help you to teach your parrot to talk even
better. Since most parrots already have a few words that
they know and repeat, some owners want to either increase
their parrot's vocabulary, or they want to teach their
parrot to talk back to them by responding verbally to a
question or statement. In order to this, you should first
teach your parrot to imitate the desired response or answer
first.
Remember to keep your parrot engaged in a conversation that
satisfies his need for socialization. As soon as you hear
him speak something, give your parrot a lot of praise and
then you can repeat the word back to your parrot.
In the beginning try to talk to your bird back and forth
about things that are important to him, like his favorite
food, toy or treat.
Don't forget to mention the colors of his toys as well!
When you are confident that your parrot has mastered the
required response, you can then start by asking the
question.
Try to speak as clearly as possible so that your parrot can
pick up on the sounds quickly and easily.
As soon as your parrot understands the question perfectly
and can repeat it back to you, it is then time to prompt
your parrot to speak the desired response. Be sure to
reward your parrot when he says the proper answer by giving
him a nice treat whenever he attempts to say the correct
response.
Remember to get all excited, repeating the word and going
over to your parrot's cage to interact. Give your parrot a
treat as soon as he exhibits a behavior that you want him
to say or do.
Remember that parrots will always continue to exhibit a
behavior for which it receives a reward, so make sure that
you do not inadvertently reward him for making unpleasant
noises.
Follow this training process until your parrot consistently
responds with the correct answer every time the question is
asked, but do keep in mind, that teaching your parrot to
talk back to you in response to a question, is sometimes a
little bit harder to learn and it might take him a while to
get it just right.
Finally, make sure that the food or treat that you reward
your parrot with is a very special and highly desired treat
that is not readily available to him inside regular food
dish. Choose something that can be consumed quickly so that
you can move on to further training.
