1. Avoid teaching ambiguous pronunciations when training words
When training myna to speak, be sure to coach in a quiet room. Noise can easily hinder myna's memory of words. Besides, we should avoid teaching difficult pronunciation or ambiguous pronunciation, and it is better to teach some clean words.
2. Teach myna to speak on an empty stomach
It takes almost 1 days to teach myna to speak. The training period is about half a year after it molts, and its memory is particularly good. Especially after taking a bath for it or when having an empty stomach, it is best to train it. Training for women or children with high notes is better than training for people with low notes.
3. Stick to feeding the baby myna on the palm of your hand, so that it can depend on your hand from an early age.
4. When the baby myna can walk, start training it to jump into your hands to find food. The method is that when Hachi is hungry, he calls Hachi's name and lures him with food. Touch it when you feed it, so that when it grows up, you can gently touch it with your hand, and it won't escape. Line into a fixed conditioned reflex.
5. When Grade Eight can basically fly, he has also developed certain habits. Then use bugs to fly it to your hands to eat, so that after training for a period of time and laying a good foundation as a child, Hachi will be very obedient. No matter whether you reach out or call its name, Hachi will fly obediently.
the third stage: highlighting the theme of language training
(1) This stage takes about 2 months [that is, the bird was born in March to April]. One month later, it began to grow crested feathers, indicating that the growth of birds is about to enter the youth stage. It is a very important enlightenment period from the perspective of language training, which will lay a good foundation for later training, so I focus on language teaching at this stage.
I conducted a comparative experiment in two groups. One group started listening to the tape every day from mid-August (after two months), and the other group started from mid-August (after three months). Play "Welcome" for not less than three times a day and not less than one hour each time. And insist on playing it when myna is hungry, and then give it feed.
(2) I had expected these myna to follow the recording, so I didn't teach face to face until the beginning of November. Later, I found a myna's voice and decided to start face to face teaching.
the effect is quite satisfactory. I learned to say hello the day I got the first one from my mother's house! Then I took out more than 1 one after another, all of them learned to say hello within 1 ~ 2 days, and learned to say welcome a few days later.
Although there is no difference between the comparative experiments, I still find that early education in speaking to myna is particularly important.
In addition, up to now [in mid-January, 24], through the statistics of the speaking time of myna in batches, I was pleasantly surprised to find that the most sensitive period for myna to learn to speak is after growing a crested feather, that is, the myna is 4-6 months old! Missed this time, myna learned to speak for a relatively long time, although she still listened to the tape every day.
(3) Time and method of language tuning:
Every morning and evening is definitely a good time, especially when myna is scrambling to sing. After hearing the recording, I will imitate it before the next sentence of the recording is said. Therefore, according to this situation, I have chosen the time to play the recording and the interval between each sentence.
When teaching to talk face to face, at first, as long as myna pays attention, I will give it worms to eat after I have said it several times. I want to reward bugs in time every time myna answers. I rarely just talk to myna bugs, or I don't reward myna for responding.
I found in practice that the effect of teaching myna who can talk is much faster than that of teaching myna who can't talk face to face. So I suggest buying myna at least two, which can save a lot of time and energy in teaching myna to speak.
it is a common regret that myna doesn't speak as loudly as myna. I have made a lot of observations and inquiries and have personal experience. I think this problem is caused by the low voice of the speaker.
I have met three myna who can only speak 1 to 2 sentences, one is raised and taught by the old couple; First, the old couple raised them and taught them to talk with their grandchildren; One is raised and taught by young people. The first voice is very small; Second, if there is only one, the voice is very high; The third one didn't whisper.
so I always teach myna to speak loudly. Training should be patient and persistent. It is not advisable to be cold and hot, and to be near and far away. Although myna's own qualities are different and there are great differences in learning to speak, there is nothing that a myna can't speak. Besides, through the efforts of external factors, it may also prompt myna to stimulate its internal potential in this respect. Besides, myna also has the phenomenon of "speaking late" like people, so we should not give up the language training of myna easily.
Frankly speaking, we can't help but admit that there are a series of "unique skills" to train birds to speak. The year before last, the eighth generation descendant of the "court bird trainer" was invited to Chengdu from Tianjin on the eve of National Day, and taught a Thai stork to say a few words in just a few days. It is a pity that the "unique skills" have only been handed down from ancestors so far, and the majority of bird lovers can only try their best. I believe that this "unique skill" is also constantly improving, otherwise there will be no vitality. In today's information age, the mystery of "unique skills" will be completely solved in the near future.
1. myna's choice.
1. The myna who is going to teach should choose the young birds whose feathers have grown up in that year, and the old birds are generally not taught because of their slow response.
2. myna should be domesticated with topaz mouth, orange feet and smooth and shiny feathers.
3. The mouth is large and the tongue is fleshy, soft and short round.
4. Have the characteristics of docile and easy to tame, and not shy.
2. Preparation before teaching.
Before teaching, we should make myna live in a cage or on a shelf, not easily frightened and tame, and be willing to get close to people. Myna should be able to tame a person's hand, touch its head or front back, and let go of its anklet without flying away. The teaching effect of myna is the best.
third, twist the tongue.
myna needs to twist her tongue before she can teach human language. Twisting the tongue means trimming the bird's tongue into a circle with scissors. The best way to operate is for two people to cooperate. One person holds the bird's body lightly with his hand, and the other person holds the bird's head forward from the neck with his left hand, and inserts his left index finger and thumb from both sides of the bird's mouth to open the bird's mouth. After the mouth is opened, stick some incense ashes (mosquito-repellent incense ashes and cigarette ashes) on the index finger of the right hand to make the incense ashes wrap the bird's tongue, then twist the two fingers left and right, with the force from light to heavy, the tongue end will take off a layer of tongue shell, and there will be slight bleeding. This is a normal phenomenon. Apply some purple liquid and put it back into the birdcage, and steamed corn with egg yolk can be used as feed. After half a month's interval, the second twisting is carried out by the above method, but this time only a very thin and incomplete layer of film can be twisted. After another half month's rest, you can talk about teaching.
4. Training methods.
1. Training myna to learn words must start with young birds. Every time you let the young birds out of the cage for about 15 minutes, put some foods that the birds like to eat around the cage, so that you can train repeatedly. (In summer, the climate is cool in the morning and evening, and it should be at noon in winter, but the climate in the north is cold and winter is more difficult, so as to achieve the reflex condition that the young birds can enjoy food when they come out of the cage or enter the cage. When chicks learn to fly, the time reflex conditions are basically consolidated at this stage, and more than half of the training is successful. In the future, every time you fly out of the cage, you should pay attention to reducing the shock and not being locked in the cage for a long time, which will affect the reflection and consolidation results. After successful training, don't forget to put a few insects in the cage for reward.
2. Time. It is best in the morning, because birds are most active in the morning, when birds are not full, and the teaching effect is good.
3. environment. Be quiet, there should be no noise and conversation, otherwise it will easily distract the birds and make them learn sounds that they should not learn. Therefore, it is best to choose to teach in a quiet room.
4. content. Choose simple short names at the beginning, such as "Hello", "Welcome", "Goodbye", "Bye-bye" and "Thank you". Pay attention to accurate, clear and slow pronunciation, do not use dialects, it is best to use Mandarin. Repeat the same words as teaching every day, and consolidate them after learning. If you play with a tape recorder, the effect will be better and it will be more labor-saving. Generally, a word is taught for about a week, and birds can learn it; Consolidate the theory for a few days after you can, and then teach the second sentence. If the birds are more responsive, they can also be taught simple ballads. During the teaching period, the bird should not be allowed to hear boring or inappropriate sentences. Birds' learning language is particularly sensitive for a short time, and it is easy to imitate all kinds of external sounds at this time. Once this sensitive period is found, we should seize it in time and make good use of it.
