How to teach a myna bird to talk?
Expert Answer
Teaching a myna to talk should not be rushed. The owner should first let the myna adapt to the home environment, feed it on a fixed schedule, and deliberately say clear words during feeding to gradually guide it to accept human language. Usually, place the myna where it can hear people talking to increase its curiosity; once it adapts, it will slowly want to learn and try to communicate.
Finally, you can formally teach the myna to talk. Before each feeding, teach it some simple words, and when it mimics and calls out, reward it with food right away. After it learns some words, you can start teaching it short phrases.
