The zoo gray parrot says swearing for tourists?Is parrot a "master of language"?

Science Fiction Network August 29th (Wang Xiuxia) Recently, a gray parrot in Yunnan Wildlife Park said swearing for tourists, which attracted the attention of many people. Does the parrot really speak? Why do parcels say swear words?

In fact, the ancients knew that the parrot could learn from a long time ago. About the book "Shan Hai Jing", which was written in the Warring States Period, recorded: "Huangshan, no plants, many bamboo arrows ... ... There are birds, their shapes are like 鸮, green feathers are red beaks, people can speak, names, names, names, names, names, names, names, names, names, names. Said parrot ".

In fact, parrots can speak only a conditional reflection and mechanical imitation. This imitation behavior is also called "effect" in science. Because birds do not have developed cerebral cortex, they have no thoughts and consciousness, and they cannot understand the meaning of human language. They just learn the tongue.

The reason why the parrot can learn is because its physiological structure is special.

Compared to other birds, the parrot's mouth is relatively large, the tongue is round and meaty, and the shape is similar to the human tongue. The parrot's voice is called a tube, and the structure of the human vocal cord is also very similar. It is located at the intersection of the two bronchies. The tube wall is very thin and thin -film. When the airflow enters, the pipe wall will tremble and make different sounds. Among the parrot pipes, there are four or five pairs of special muscles, voices, and tension -the special muscles. Under the control of the nervous system, the contraction or relaxation of the luminic muscle can make a sound with a sense of voice and cavity, which is similar to human vocals.

Secondly, the parrot tongue is also related to its social attributes.

The parrot is a social animal. It likes to imitate the sound of other animals to attract other animals to approach and achieve the effect of friendship. Human pet parrots speak people, because they want to interact with the owner more, they have regarded the owner as their own friends, so they will have this move.

When the parrot learns the tongue, it is just a simple imitation. Therefore, when training the parrot, we must strengthen the positive guidance of it to avoid swearing. When teaching parrots, you must also teach the same person, otherwise the parrot will be confused. When teaching, the sound must be clearly tone, and it is best to teach in a quiet environment. In addition, although the parrot is smart, IQ is still far from others. Do not be impatient when teaching parrots, and be patient.

In addition to parrots, the students who can speak are also Bai, Bailing, and Brother. A young brother only takes one week to learn a word. In addition to being able to imitate people's voice, Brother Bi will also learn the tone, clear mouth, and wonderful.
