Your bird will most likely learn simple words if you say them frequently. Pick expressions it is likely to hear often from you and other people, such as:  hello bye-bye night-night your bird's name The psychologist B.F. Skinner taught pigeon to twirl and read by training them with baby steps. The imitation of a tones or parts of words, can be a first step in learning to imitate words. When training incrementally, it is important to continually raise the bar for your animal. This will ensure that you have your bird's attention. The closeness will help build the relationship between you and your bird, as well as help focus the bird on the sounds you want them to make. Experiments involving African Grey parrots, such as the infamous Alex, show that these birds learn better when two people are involved. This is called the model/rival method, wherein another speaker demonstrates the desired communication, and the bird learns to speak by observing articulations in context. Escaped birds have even been found to teach wild birds to talk. This highlights the social nature of how birds learn to communicate. For example, say "Up" when you lift up your bird. This will teach it to associate a movement with certain words. Just like a child, birds benefit when learning from a sense of fun. By giving rewards, such as treats, and engaging with your bird in an excited way, it encourages the bird to enjoy this new language game.  Rewards should be given immediately after the desire behavior is performed. This helps the bird know it is doing something correct. Avoid rewarding the bird when it is not talking. This will strengthen its desire to perform. Experiment. Maybe you're pet's less of a hello and more of a howdy kind of bird. If your bird does respond well to what or how you're trying to teach them, try something else. Give your bird a variety of sounds to produce, you not only make sure they're entertained, you stimulate their brain's natural tendency to learn with novelty. Studies have shown that song birds learn to sing in much the same way human babies learn to talk, through babble and vocal experimentation. Do this for up to 5 minutes at a time. Longer than this can cause boredom, overly straining the bird. Learning capacities vary species to species and bird to bird. Some species can begin speaking after just a few months, and some take years to develop the capacity to speak. Give your feathered friend some time to express themselves, and they'll return the respect.

Summary: Start with simple words. Encourage behavior that approximates speech. Hold the bird in front of your mouth when you teach it. Include a relative or friend. Repeat certain words or phrases every time you do something with the bird. Make sure your bird has fun. Consider playing recordings of words you want your bird to learn. Be patient.


To make your eyeshadow last as long as possible, use a combination of cream and powder eyeshadows on top of your base. Start with the cream shadow, applying it with a brush to your eyelid, lash line, and the crease of your eye. If you are using different shades of eyeshadow, experiment with different cream and powder hues to see how they can be mixed and matched to create different effects. Dip a clean brush into your powder eyeshadow and tap off the excess. Apply a layer of powder over top of the cream eyeshadow. Once you have applied all your eyeshadow, you can apply your eyeliner, and then your mascara. For the best results and to prevent smearing, use a quick drying eyeliner. As a final, optional step, consider using a makeup setting spray over top of your eyeshadow that will set your makeup and help it last longer. Makeup setting sprays do for makeup what hairspray does for your hairdo: they keep it in place longer. These products go by several names, including:  Fixing mist Makeup fixer Set and stay

Summary: Apply cream shadow first. Put on powder shadow. Apply a makeup setting spray.


When a door is opened and closed repeatedly, it’s no surprise that they can start to tarnish. Scratches and other superficial damage to the hinge can create friction and cause the door to stick. If you are worried about the lubricant possibly staining the door, you can take the additional step of removing the door from the frame. You can find out how to remove a door from the hinges here. Just like the lubricant can stain the door, it can stain your floor. Cover the area directly under the hinges you are working on to prevent any dripping. After you’ve done this, open and close the door a few times to work the jelly into the hinge joints. WD-40 would also have the same helpful effect on your door, but it is messier and dries out faster.
Summary: Decide if the door hinges are causing the trouble. Lay newspaper on the floor. Apply petroleum jelly to the hinges.
