How to teach to the name
The lack of reaction to his nickname in birds happens quite often, especially when enough time has passed. There may be several reasons for this.
- The bird has not yet had time to get used to it.
- The name contains hard-acting sounds or a combination of sounds.
- Bird does not like this nickname.
- The nickname is very long for memorization.
- There was no emotional contact between the owner and the parrot. In this case, the bird does not respond directly to humans.
- The owner appeals to the bird, stupidly pronounced sounds.
- Human emotions wear aggressive color (circulation on elevated colors, with disregard or aggression).
- Perhaps the parrot is already accustomed to some other nickname.
What to do in such situations?
As soon as the parrot gets to the new owner, he needs time to get used to the new situation. Like any beast, the parrot will be observed for the behavior of the new owner. In this case, the bird does not respond to the nickname, if it does not trust a person, does not realize that they turn to her, the process of adaptation to new conditions is still underway. To speed up the process of installing emotional contact, it is recommended to talk more often with a bird, to pronounce her name clearly and slowly.
If the bird still does not respond to the nickname, then put forward the process of fragments of the parrot to the name and watch his behavior. When you better get acquainted with the nature of your pet, you can change the original nickname onto that more corresponds to the bird.
If the bird does not like the prescribed nickname, then she will be stuck and twin feathers (parrots do that when they are experiencing severe stress). In this case It is better not to unwind the pet and pick up a few other nicknames. They should be 3-4. It is necessary to propose their pets alternately and look at his reaction. On the name of the parrot, it can raise your head, moving the tail or "answer" to you.
If you notice that the pet responds to some combinations of sounds, then maybe they were present in his old nickname. You can offer a parrot name containing these sounds, or wait until the bird will reincarnate to another combination of sounds.
Parrots, like other animals, are very well felt by the emotional color of words. Focusing on the emotional background of circulation, they decide how to respond. If the pet begins to be nervous in the presence of you, or he does not answer you and goes to the distant corner of the cell, then you should pay attention to what emotions are you experiencing when communicating with him. Do not shout on the bird, tell her something on the increased colors or to show a disregard for her.
