As for their motivation to imitate, I personally think it is a kind of group consciousness and curiosity. When they listen to people for a long time and are curious about their inner voices, they will imitate them. Some people think their inner voice is nice. When interacting with people, if you learn to speak and get closer to your host, you will be rewarded and they will like to imitate more.
Some people who study parrots abroad can express simple meanings in human language, which is also the result of long-term interaction. Just like cats and dogs at home, after a long time, the owner can understand some things he wants to express. Group consciousness allows them to observe human beings better. Birds are very sensitive to sounds and will imitate them first. Well, this is my personal opinion.
Question 2: Why do parrots imitate people? Animals generally have the ability to imitate, especially songbirds with advanced imitation ability, which can often imitate different sounds, which is related to the sound conditions, places, times and different individuals. They can even learn to speak, especially parrots, which can be said to be very clever. For example, there was once a parrot who learned the "crash" sound of water when he saw his owner pick up a water bottle. When it saw a bee fly into the room, it made a buzzing sound; When you hear someone knocking at the door, you will shout "Come in". Does this mean that this parrot can talk? In fact, parrots are unconscious of these things, but when they see something, they will reflect some kind of sound. For example, when training a parrot, people will associate knocking at the door with the sound of "please come in" * * The parrot will store these signals and repeat them * * *, which will form a conditioned reflex. So whenever it hears someone knocking at the door, it will shout, "Come in". But sometimes when there is a sound of knocking on the board outside, it will shout "come in". It can be seen that if this is a parrot talking, it is not accurate. Because people's speech is acquired, and birds' life posture, singing and expression are basically the same, all of which are acquired. They can learn to speak, and only by raising them can they learn through teaching and training, and they are unconscious.
Question 3: Are there any parrots that can imitate human speech? Why do parrots talk? In fact, the secret lies in its special physiological structure-sound tube and tongue. Although everyone can speak, the vocal organs of parrots are different from those of humans. The vocal organ of the parrot is called the vocal tube, which is located at the junction of trachea and bronchus, and consists of 3-6 dilated and deformed trachea and three pairs of deformed bronchus adjacent to it. Ordinary birds can make sounds with different frequencies and heights because when the air enters the pipe, it makes different sounds with the vibration of the pipe wall. Except for the most basic characteristics of birds, the vocal organs of parrots are more perfect than ordinary birds. There are four or five pairs of special muscles in its vocal tube, which are used to adjust the diameter, speech speed and tension of the vocal tube. Under the control of the nervous system, the vocal muscles contract or relax and make songs.
In the whole structure of the sound tube, the sound tube is also very similar to the structure of human vocal cords, except that the human vocal cords are 20 cm from the throat to the tongue end, which is a right angle, while the parrot's sound tube is an obtuse angle from the tongue section 15 cm. This angle is the key to determine the pronunciation syllable and tone. The closer to the right angle, the stronger the sense of syllable and tone. Therefore, parrots can make cadence sounds and syllables like humans.
Except for the tongue, the parrot's tongue is very developed, smooth, thick and soft, and its shape is very similar to that of human tongue. It is because of this standard vocal condition that parrots can pronounce some simple but accurate syllables.
Why do birds "talk"
People often say, "people talk like birds." So, can birds really talk? There is also the idiom "parrot talks". How do parrots learn to talk?

Besides parrots, larks, myna and myna can also learn to speak. Let's get to know them one by one
Parrots In ornithology, parrots belong to the family Nautilidae. There are many kinds of parrots, and there are more than 300 known species in the world. Parrot's mouth is short and powerful, the upper mouth is curved like a hook, and the hook has a file-like structure, which is most suitable for gripping seeds. Myna and Myna are cousins, belonging to passeriformes and Myna in bird classification.
Myna's feathers are black, and its wings and tail ends are dotted with white. When you spread your wings and fly, from below, the wings on both sides just look like a figure of eight, hence the name starling. Myna's voice is loud and clear, with a little rhyme, and sometimes it becomes rough. In the wild, it likes foraging in groups, eating insects and wild fruits. It is a beneficial bird in agriculture, and also the most sensible resident bird in South China and Southwest China, which is distributed in plain villages, pastoral areas and mountainous areas. Myna is a caged bird that Jiangnan people like to keep, because it has a variety of feeding habits, is fearless, is easy to breed, can learn to speak and loves to sing.
I always thought that only myna and parrot could speak eloquently. In fact, myna is the best bird that can learn human language. A young myna can learn a sentence in a week. At the same time, he is also an excellent singer, with a loud and melodious voice, which can produce all kinds of melodic tones, from deep cackling to brisk whistling. It can also imitate the cuckoo's call. It can learn not only sounds, but also tunes. For example, when it learns crisp female voice and vigorous male voice, it is clear and vivid. Poet Bai Juyi praised it: "hearing, mind and tongue ... >>"
Question 4: Parrots can talk like humans. Can they speak for themselves? No. It can only learn accents. Just like a child learning to talk.
Question 5: Can parrots imitate human speech? Not all metropolises, budgerigars and the like can't, because their brains are not as developed as large parrots, but they can imitate the calls of other animals (mostly birds) more vividly, so that they can learn to speak from an early age, while ordinary budgerigars can't speak human words.
Question 6: Why do parrots talk? Not all parrots can talk. Talking parrots have to clamp their tongues flat with splints since they were young. If it is not clamped flat, the parrot's tongue is rhombic and can't make all kinds of sounds. After clamping, the parrot's oral structure will be similar to that of humans. You can simulate simple human language.
Question 7: Why can parrots imitate people? Personally, I think it may be too boring.
But the scientific explanation is that
Parrot is a common bird. Why can it learn to speak?
1. It is good at imitation, and it has a strong imitation power. Therefore, it can imitate various sounds or actions, such as human speech, animal calls and whistles. It is for this reason that parrots have become common animal actors in circuses.
2. Its vocal organs have developed vocal muscles in the vocal tract. Under the control of the brain, the vocal muscles can vibrate rhythmically, thus making all kinds of complex sounds.
3. Its tongue structure is very special. Generally, the tip of the tongue of birds is sharp, while that of parrots is round, and the whole tongue is soft and elastic. Therefore, when the vocal muscles vibrate, its tongue can also move flexibly, thus giving out simple syllable sounds, which can imitate human voices, bird calls and animal calls. However, although it can imitate some people's languages exactly, it doesn't understand the true meaning of these languages at all, just parroting.
Wild parrots generally can't learn to speak, while domestic parrots need training to learn to speak. Before teaching them to speak, you should unscrew the hard shell outside your tongue to make it soft, and then teach them a simple sentence repeatedly on an empty stomach in the morning. When you have learned a sentence completely, teach the next sentence; Sometimes put it with the parrot that speaks in the meeting and let it parrot with the teacher; Some people hang a mirror in the cage and a tape recorder next to the cage. After repeating a simple sentence, it will learn in front of the mirror. Most talking parrots are trained by hand. Parrots who are taught other ways of speaking will talk nonsense regardless of the occasion. However, no matter what method is used to teach talking parrots, they just parrot and don't understand the true meaning of language.
Of course, besides parrots, starlings, starlings, crows and other birds can also learn to speak.
Question 8: Can budgerigars imitate human speech? Budgerigar is one of the best simulated birds. It can imitate human language.
The simulated budgerigar is selected from the male birds by hand, because the female budgerigar can't imitate, and the male bird can learn at least ten sentences.
The best result of a parrot that learns to talk is to choose an advanced budgerigar. The training of simulating budgerigar by hand should start two months after aunt's death, and be taught with the same sentence repeatedly every day, so that you can start to learn to speak.
One thing to note is that when teaching birds to learn to talk, there should be a special person to teach them, not all the people in the family, which will lead to confusion and learning nothing.
When teaching simulation, first let the hand play budgerigar stand on the hand, close to the mouth, and teach it simple vocabulary in a gentle tone. When the bird learns, reward it with its favorite feed, and then teach longer sentences, but remember to train often, or forget.
In the United States, several animal schools are teaching how to make an elk docile and not afraid of people. Let's explain how our master tamed Assour.
Method 1: Regular contact training.
This method requires patience, and it will be easier if there is a matching feather cutting. This method includes talking to your Asur often and calming them down in a gentle tone. Slowly put your hand into the cage until the bird stops running. In the previous few times, you shouldn't reach in to catch them or move in front of them excitedly. Give them some time to get used to your hands. When he is no longer afraid, you can put your finger close to his abdomen, like a perch, and see if they will stand up. Remember to say "come up" when your finger lightly touches his abdomen. When you want them to return to their cages and habitats, you should say "go down". Keep talking to him when he is in your hand. Don't be too eager to bring him out for the first time. In these initial trainings, the training time should be as short as possible. With the increase of training times, you can also slowly lengthen the time, and finally you can have a friend who believes in you!
Method 2: Let them have their own time.
Don't try to touch them with your hands in the first few days when they get home. Give them some time to adapt to the new environment and home, and put the cage in your usual place. You need to spend a lot of time with them, try to talk to them, and only put your hands near the cage when changing water or fresh food. Try to let the birds know that everything you do is for their own good and you don't want to hurt them. In that case, it may take some time to make them willing to come out to you. You can lure them out by putting shells or bird snacks outside the cage. Or put these bribes in your hand, lure him with a cage or from the outside. In the end, he will believe you and become your friend.
Method 3: Repeatedly grasp and release.
Take the budgerigar to another room without a cage. It is best to cut off their feathers before this method is carried out. Catch it and put it again and again, and the budgerigar will soon know that you don't bend over to hurt it. Continue this training for about half an hour, then take it back to its cage and talk to it for a while.
Methods: Melanie intensive training method
This method must be very careful. When you hold a tiger skin in your hand, make sure that your hand is not too tight, otherwise it may cause the bird to suffocate. Although some tiger skins have been tamed by this method, there are still many tiger skins that have not responded well to this method and will even become more difficult to gain their trust in the future. )
"Grab a new tiger skin with your hand, and be careful that it will try to bite your finger. If you don't drive, you will carry its body all the way home. Or shake him for half an hour at a time, at least five times on the first day, and don't let him get away. If there is a bite, grab its mouth. Also remember to cut feathers ... this method can make them bite harder and don't want to escape. " ...& gt& gt
Question 9: Why can parrots imitate people? Zoologists tell us that the key reason is that these birds have developed tongue roots, slender, soft and flexible tongues, well-developed vocal muscles, and can emit accurate and clear tones. In addition, they have strong imitation ability and memory, so they can learn to speak and sing under the domestication of human beings, which is very popular with people. But scientists believe that no matter how many sentences a parrot can say, it is just an imitation called Xiao Ming, which is a conditioned reflex. They can never understand the meaning of human speech like human beings. In fact, besides parrots, other members of the bird kingdom also have such skills. For example, the more common myna, myna and so on. After long-term training, people can learn to speak, learn to sing and reach a perfect level.
Question 10: Why do myna and myna imitate others and get confused? Copying Baidu is very uncivilized! !
Why not just talk about biological principles? A lot of nonsense! !
