The next time, after numerous repetitions during repeated bathing, the bird herself will say the coveted phrase.

Choose a song that you won’t be bored of listening to for days on end.
12. Be careful in the statements - one swear word, said only once, but with great emotionality, can be remembered and repeated by the bird. And then you will have to blush more than once for the guests for the swindler.
13. With any success, when Corella finally managed to repeat the phrase, encouragement should immediately await him.
