Can Birds Learn Their Names?
Yes, not only dogs and cats but also birds like budgerigars and other parrot species can learn their own names. That’s why it’s best to choose a fairly simple one. Always remember that animals tend to go by the melody and sound of a word.
They cannot understand human language in the same way that we can. You should also have a lot of patience and always be gentle with an animal if you want to teach it its name.
-
Patience
First things first, if your birds have just “moved in” with you, they will need time to settle in and get to know their new surroundings and you. Everything is different for them: the cage, the room, the air, the light, the people, the food. You should give them at least a week or two to get used to them.
Your birds also need to understand what you want from them in the first place. Imagine you meet someone who only speaks Chinese. How do you know what he says is supposed to be a name? And whether it means you yourself or whether it doesn’t mean “hunger” or “danger”?
Certainly, a bird will never really understand its name, but over time it will realize that a certain sound of a word belongs to it and means something pleasant. The main thing is that you remain patient, practice one at a time with the birds, and are not disappointed if it takes a few weeks.
-
Practice Location
Whether you are teaching a bird its name or teaching tricks, always make sure the bird is comfortable in the environment. It should not be a room with music playing or people constantly walking through it. A bright, quiet, friendly room is best. Close doors and windows so your bird is not distracted and feels safe and protected.
-
Frequent repetitions
The more often your bird hears its name, the better it can internalize it and “store” it in its memory. Of course, you shouldn’t just shout “Tweety!”, “Tweeeeety!” all day long. That would be a bit overwhelming for him.
Ideally, you plan to train with him for 10 minutes two to four times a day. You call his name and if he responds, he gets some grains as a reward. But if he loses interest, it’s best to stop the exercise immediately.
Even if you’ve just started. Think about it: If you don’t feel like studying for school yourself, then you’re probably just doodling around listlessly in your homework notebook and nothing good will come of it.
