Parrots and myna are not birds of the same family, but they can imitate the sounds of humans or other animals. The following are introduced respectively:
Let's talk about parrots, which belong to Parrots and Nautilidae, and are distributed in temperate, subtropical and tropical areas. Most of them are brightly colored and have a high range. The unique beaks make it easy for people to identify these beautiful birds. They usually form small groups with their spouses and family members, inhabit branches in the forest, build their own nests or use tree holes as nests, and feed on berries, nuts, seeds and nectar. Parrots are smart and good at learning. After training, they can perform many novel and interesting programs. They are "performing artists" of rare birds in various circuses, parks and zoos, and are deeply loved by the public. They can learn all kinds of skills, such as raising flags, catching food, riding bicycles, pulling carts, doing somersaults and so on. Parrots are closely related to the development of human civilization and are also the best partners and friends of mankind. In the long-term domestication process, parrots have brought people a lot of joy. People's favorite skill for parrots is to imitate people's words. In fact, their "ventriloquism" is really the best among birds. This is a kind of conditioned reflex and mechanical imitation. This kind of imitation is also called Xiaoming in science. Because birds have no developed cerebral cortex, no thoughts and consciousness, it is impossible to understand the meaning of human language.
Next, let's talk about starlings, also known as thrushes, parrots, Gao Han and Huahua. It belongs to passeriformes, passeriformes. Widely distributed in Asia, China is mainly distributed in South China and Southwest China. Taiwan Province Province, Hainan Island and other places. Myna's feathers are not gorgeous and her voice is not very beautiful, but she is not afraid of people, smart and good at imitating others. Some people spoil myna to let it play with others, but most people listen to it to learn to "talk". Therefore, male and female selection is not strict, and the key is to start feeding from young birds. It is generally believed that female myna is better at imitation than male myna. According to experience, myna with jade white mouth and orange feet is more "smart" than myna with beige mouth and brown feet.
