How does the myna know its owner?

Starlings are intelligent and imitative birds with excellent hearing and learning abilities and the ability to imitate human speech and other sounds. The following is a detailed introduction to how mynas know their owners:

1. Voice imitation:

1. Imitation ability:

• Starlings have excellent imitation abilities and can imitate various sounds such as human speech, telephone ringing, and car horns. They establish an emotional connection with their owners by imitating their voices.

2. Frequent contact:

1. Number of interactions:

• Starlings require frequent human interaction and contact to build relationships by interacting and communicating with their owners. Continuous interaction helps the myna hear its owner's voice and develop a deeper understanding of its owner.

3. Repetitive training:

1. Repeat sound:

• Owners can help the myna remember and imitate these sounds by talking to them repeatedly or playing them specific sounds. This repetitive training helps the myna learn and imitate its owner's voice.

4. Cognitive behavior:

1. Visual Identity:

• Starlings can visually identify their owners' appearance and facial features, thereby building up their knowledge of their owners.

2. Emotional connection:

• The myna will establish an emotional connection during the interaction and show trust and attachment to the owner, which also helps to deepen the myna's understanding and identification of the owner.

5. Rewards and feedback:

1. Reward training:

• Owners can encourage mynas to imitate specific sounds or behaviors through rewards and positive feedback, thereby strengthening their recognition and connection with their owners.

6. Environmental stability:

1. Stable environment:

• In a quiet, stable environment, it is easier for mynas to focus on learning and imitating sounds, and it is easier to establish an emotional connection with their owners.

Through the above methods and training, starlings can gradually get to know their owners and learn to imitate their owners' voices and other specific sounds. Continued interaction and training can deepen the myna's understanding of their owner and promote an emotional connection between them and their owner.
