    It isn’t from a web page, it’s from a book, (which is even better) put the toys close to the cage, but not in it so that s/he gets used to it. Then, when it seem interested, move it into it’s cage. Remember to rotate the toys in your bird’s cage so it doesn’t get bored.

    It’s not Just Mimicry! Simple Ways to Teach Your Parrot to Talk

    Contrary to popular belief, birds are capable of learning real speech. Most people believe that talking birds are simply practicing mimicry—repeating the sounds that they’ve heard on a regular basis, but not making any connections between those words and actual objects, actions, or people.

    This is simply not true, as any parrot owner can tell you. Parrots are intelligent creatures. It requires time and effort, but you can teach your bird to make the connection between a learned word or phrase, and the corresponding object or task. The easiest way to accomplish this is to begin early in your training.

    A great way to kick start your speech training is to begin with a word that is easy for your parrot to enunciate. Birds have different vocal abilities than humans, so certain letter sounds are more difficult for them to pick up, like “M” and “S” sounds. Hard sounds, like “P”, “D”, “T”, and “B” are more easily repeated. Start off with something with a lot of hard sounds, to get the bird talking. Once your parrot begins to speak, reward him profusely.

    Rewards are an amazing tool. Anything can be used, from praise to food treats to new toys. Try out different techniques, and find something that works for you and your parrot. Each bird has different likes and dislikes, so spend some time finding rewards that your parrot enjoys. Once you’ve found what works for you, stick with it. Birds learn through repetition and consistency, so it’s important that you not vary things too widely.

    After your parrot is talking, you can begin to train him to correlate words with objects. You do this in much the same way you would when teaching a child. When feeding your bird, be sure to say the word “food” or “seed” or “eat”. When speaking to your bird, use his name. When rewarding, use phrases like “good bird” or “pretty bird”. When using food treats as reward, say “fruit” or “nut”. Use these words only when handling these items or performing these tasks.

    Before you know it, your bird will request what he wants! If you come into the room and he wants attention and time with you, he may shout “good bird”. If he’s hankering for a particular treat, he could ask for it with “nut” or “fruit”. It’s a wonderful feeling of pride and accomplishment to hear your parrot speak, and know that he’s learned how to ask for his needs because you took the time to teach him. Be proud of yourself, you’ve earned it!

    How can i make home made bird toys for my parrotlet?

    Question by Hitsugaya: How can i make home made bird toys for my parrotlet?
    Atm my parrotlet only has a swing and some round rope thingy with bits hanging off it. I would like to make it some toys as buying toys can be expensive. So are there any sites or something that teaches you to make home made toys using household items or items that u can buy from a shop?

    Best answer:

    Answer by Autumn.
    You can use cotton string, and undyed boxes, and but a nut inside for him or her to find. You can also use cotton string to thread pasta on. etc

    How To Select The Perfect Bird Cage

    Birds, just like any other pet, require housing that provides them safety and security. Bird cages are the normal means for this, but before you go out and buy the first bird cage you see, it’s important to know what to look for and how much to expect to spend.


    Depending on the size of your birds, the size of a bird cage is extremely important. Your birds will need enough space to flap their wings comfortably and have enough space to walk on their perch. It’s important to remember that your bird cage will have other accessories such as food/water bowls and toys, so make sure that you’re not getting a bird cage too small that will make your bird uncomfortable.


    Of course, the type of bird should be the determining factor in how big of a bird cage to get. Macaws and other types of larger birds will require larger cages, and a cage too small will create a lot of stress for your bird. This can cause your bird to peck out its own feathers, make a mess in the cage, and make noise. Anyone who has ever owned a bird such as a Macaw will know just how much noise they can make if they’re unhappy!


    The bird cage you choose should not include rough or sharp edges, or pieces that can become dislodged easily. A bird cage should be made out of metal if at all possible, but make sure that you get a metal cage that has been treated and designed for its anti-rust properties. Stainless steel is an obvious choice, but be aware that a stainless steel bird cage can cost you much more money than a standard metal cage. Stainless steel bird cages won’t chip or break as easily as cages made out of other materials, so these are often excellent investments.


    The shape of a bird cage should also be considered when buying a cage. While there is much debate on this subject, many veterinarians suggest that round cages should not be used due to psychological effects. Even though there isn’t much data on this subject, a bird cage with square corners is always a safe bet. A bird cage with a more square shape tends to make your bird believe that it has more space to move around. This can reduce the stress your bird feels and create a better atmosphere.


    I hope that this article has given you an idea of how to properly choose and consider bird cages that fit your needs.
