5 Bird expert Olaf Sund says that teaching a parrot to talk
is a piece of cake. Here he gives a few invaluable tips.
The first thing you need to do is choose the right bird. Bigger
birds, like Blue Fronts and Yellow Napes, are your best bet,
and make sure you get them when they are young. Birds older
than 18 months probably won’t learn to talk.
Once you’ve chosen the bird, put it in the room where the
family congregates the most—maybe the living room. For
parrots to learn how to talk, human interaction is the key.
At first, it can be a little tricky for any wild animal in a
domestic environment, so give the bird a few weeks to
acclimate. The next step is to turn off the TV and remove any
distractions. Place the bird on your hand and say a word in
conjunction with an action or object. For example, give it a
peanut and say: “Peanut” or lift the bird up and say: “Up”.
The process must be pretty straightforward, so use short,
simple words at first.
Be gentle and patient with the bird, and put lots of emotion
in your voice. Teach the bird in 15-minute sessions, and give
rewards, such as food, when the bird repeats a word. Without
doing this, some birds are slow to speak. If your teaching
doesn’t work, you should allow another family member to try.
Many birds prefer a female voice.

b Hi Arline,
There’s Hans Vogel, who specializes in particle theory. He
has really devoted his life to his research. He’s probably one
of the greatest scientists of all time. There’s also Bernheimer
in recognition of his work in physics . . . He’s the world’s
greatest expert in the field. He is totally immersed in his
work, which is the development of a new type of weapon.
I’ve managed to speak to him on several occasions, and even
though he’s working in very tough conditions, he doesn’t
seem to feel the stress.
I’ve been able to draw inspiration from these people and I
really hope I can succeed in my work here.

5 When I was younger, my parents were always busy. They
had just started their own business, so they often had to go
overseas and couldn’t take care of my brother and me. When
they went away on these trips, they would send us to stay
with my grandfather, a fruit farmer who lives in the foothills
of the mountains. I was always happy when my mother told
us we would stay with Grandpa, since the time we spent at
his house was always wonderful. The air there was fresh and
clean, and the scenery was beautiful. There was no pollution.
In the morning, I would wake up and smell the grass and
the flowers, and hear the birds singing their song. There is
an orchard filled with fruit trees of many kinds, and we were
always happy when our grandfather would ask: Would you
like to help pick the fruit? When the fruit was ripe, we could
pick as much as we could eat. And when there was too much,
we would set up a fruit stand, and make good money selling
the sweet fruit to passers-by. My grandfather kept dogs and
chickens, and took us for walks in the forest. Here he taught
us the names of the plants, so that we would know which
were good to eat, which were useful for medicinal purposes,
and which were toxic. He wouldn’t let us pick the plants until
we could tell him what each one was. We learned so much
when we were with him, more than we would have learned by
going to school. I would have stayed there forever, if it were
possible.
