Harness training should be fun and rewarding every step of the way 💖 It might seem like it would take longer that way, but when you force a bird into a harness you'll have a lot of work ahead of you undoing the negative associations your bird has with the harness and the stress they may feel while wearing it. Lots of people who force harnesses on find their bird develops a habit of chewing the harness material which is dangerous for a number of reasons. Best to put the work in and go at your bird's pace the first time and enjoy the rewards of a happy, relaxed bird who enjoys wearing their harness than to rush it and suffer some drawbacks 💖
@@JOHN----DOE While it is true that millet is not great for birds in high quantities, millet does not have addictive properties. You can check out my "What my cockatiel eats" video to see what Taki eats on a regular basis :) Millet is given only as a treat (unless sprouted- sprouted millet is actually quite nutritious, as are other sprouted seeds) and millet + other dry seeds make up no more than 10% of what he eats in a day. Since cockatiels are part of the cockatoo family and cockatoos are powder down birds, they actually require a decent amount of fat in their diet to keep their skin healthy. Without this fat their skin can dry excessively and become irritated, which can lead to plucking. Cockatiels are also grainivores and ground eaters and thus consume quite a good amount of seeds in the wild- the difference is that in the wild they'd mostly be eating sprouted seed, very rarely dry, which is why sprouting is the way to go. Sprouting significantly reduces the number of calories and amount of fat in seeds while significantly increasing vitamin content. What's most important is to feed a bird a healthy, varied diet. A bird's diet should never consist solely of any one food no matter what that food is. They need fresh veggies, grains, legumes, seeds, etc.
same, i have a peachfaced love bird and a cockatiel. My cockatiel would probably be fine but my love bird bites SO harddd, even tho she’s tiny her bites pack a punch !
That bargaining power of the millet tho!! This gives me more insight on methods to boost my own motivation for doing my functional ADLs such as stepping outside the house for social activities, exercising, eating my greens, walking the extra mile for my specific grocery needs, cleaning my home.
5:57 yeah I have a dog and 2 budgies! When we let the budgies fly around the house, we have to put the dog outside! We’re working on her training to not bark and snap at there cage. She’s really getting good at it now.
This was a great informative video to watch thankyou 💜 i got alot out of it and really appreciated the outside training, positive reinforcement with correct behaviour noted to keep on to it. I felt it was composed well and narrated clearly for what has happening, and very lovingly presented 🙏
i have to admit that u are perfect on doing it .i cannot imaging any other way of doing it better.I hope i get more lucky with my conure .... difficult issue.
Lots of positive reinforcement games and training 💖 I may do a video later on how to get a bird comfortable with handling (as that's really important for making their experience at vet appointments much more comfortable).
Wow it's amazing that your bird lets you do that! My boy Max would NEVER allow us to put a harness on him. But of course, princess parrots are notorious for being very protective of their personal space. Your bird is so cute!
Great job on training! Could I ask the name of the treat you give to Taki? I know it's millet but I can't seem to find it the way you have it and it looks realy handy to give as reward 🤔 Greetings from Poland 🤗
I hear ya' about the dogs! I can't even remember how many times I had to chase my lab mix down to pull a half frozen wren or robin out of my dog's mouth in the winter.... sadly she passed 10 years ago now...
@@MsThreeZees check with the manufacturer 💖 they can give you advice on the sizing. It's important to make sure that the fit is correct and not too loose!
Destiny Dight does it work or has your bird flew away cause I’m thinking to get one for my yellow sided green cheek he looks a little more chubby then other birds do I don’t know what size is good for him/her(need to get dna check) thanks in advance
Kind of, but not quite :) A stationary leash is usually staked down to one fixed spot whereas the aviator harness is more like a walking leash. The main difference between an aviator harness and a leash/harness combo that you would use for taking a dog on a walk is that the lead on an aviator harness is elastic and it also safely rotates around the body while the bird is flying so that your bird isn't suddenly jerked a different direction mid-flight when they reach the end of the lead. Aviator sells elastic extensions to the lead that can gives your bird yards and yards of distance on the lead. I use our harness mostly to protect Taki from "blowing away" with the wind (sometimes a light breeze will catch under his wings in just the right way for him to unintentionally "fly" away) but also to keep him safe if he flies off because he got startled by something. In adiition, it allows him to safely do flight training outside and come to more animal friendly places with me.
My Tiel has no interest in treats :( I never leave them out for him and when I try, he is not interested, I left millet in his cage for a few hours, he tried it once, and then didn’t touch it again :( hellllp xx
OK, so maybe my hands are clumsy or I'm an idiot or whatever, BUT to me the hardest part of the aviator is taking my cockatiel's head OUT of it. Pardon the imagery, but it looks an awful lot like the aviator is trying to give birth to my cockatiel when I do it. It looks tight, uncomfortable and I have a hard time doing it smoothly for his sake. I know I have the right size, cause the aviator was literally promoted with the image of a cockatiel, saying it was made for the size of cockatiels and small conures. So, is this just a matter of me being overly worried about his poor head? He doesn't complain give any indication that he is in pain, but I worry nevertheless, being a new bird owner x'D
AiraSora sorry for the late response! As long as your bird is comfortable and not giving any indication of pain or fear I don't think there's anything to worry about. For some birds, taking the head out of the harness feels a lot like a head scratch and can feel quite nice. Others get a little (understandably) claustrophobic. Taki fell under the "claustrophobic" category until he had been properly desensitized to the harness. Aviator Harness themselves say that the head hole is supposed to be relatively tight, and that's to avoid the risk of the head slipping out of the head hole. With practice you'll get better at removing it smoothly. That's something I struggled with a LOT in the beginning, but I got better at it and Taki also figured out how to slide his own head out smoothly so he helps me take the harness off in a way that's comfortable and easy for him!
Thank you for answering! My question was quite a bit a go, so now my problem is mostly wondering when he might be fully comfortable in the harness. For now, he's spending most of his time chewing on it, even while we're outside. We took a really long walk, about a half hour, a few weeks ago and despite looking around interested sometimes, he mostly just kept chewing on the harness. I had hoped that distracting him by stimulating his senses during the walk would have made him less interested in the harness itself, but it still seems to bother him an awful lot x'D
Chewing on the harness usually indicates he isn't fully comfortable with it yet, so you may want to shorten the walks to ten or fifteen minutes until he is more comfortable with it :) To get him more used to it, after he stops chewing for a moment count how many seconds he can go without chewing on it. Then subtract one or two seconds from what you counted. Let's say he was chewing, stopped, then started again 3 seconds later. Your "realistic no chew time" (or NCT from here on out) is 2 seconds (the 3 seconds you counted minus one second or so). Next, count two seconds, then click and reward if he didn't go to chew the harness. Once he never looks like he's going to chew on the harness using a 2 second count, count his new "realistic no chew time" and subtract a second or two to get your new NCT. Count the NCT and bridge/reward if he doesn't chew. Continue doing this until you can increase the amount of time he isn't chewing to something manageable. Eventually you'll be able to increase it so much he'll stop altogether. Preening his feathers around the harness shouldn't count against him since preening his feather is not the same as chewing on the harness itself and it actually indicates that he's very relaxed. You don't have to use a food reward, either. I would in the beginning just because it's a very powerful reinforcer and a great distraction from the chewing, but once he gets better at not chewing the harness you can alternate between food rewards and a secondary reinforcer like a treat or a head scratch. Once he's fully comfortable with the harness (no chewing even without being distracted or reinforced) you can increase your walk time by 5 or 10 minute intervals to work back up to an hour or hour and a half long walk :) Always bring plenty of activities (like a small handheld toy to chew on) for him to do on the walk so he doesn't chew the harness out of boredom!
Cailyn De Vries train train train train.. give him a treat for letting you put preassure on him, poke him, pet him. He will eventually learn your hand is positive.
Lupas Wolf I have been but I am not sure of what to give them as a treat because they are fussy and even though they like millet they don’t think of it as a treat
what food were you feeding Taki while putting the harness on at 1:04? also, can you give me the link for that leash? I am planning on getting a bird soon :)
MonkeyPlayz it’s called millet. As for the harness I believe you can find it on chewy.com (if that’s how it’s spelled). I am not certain it is the same harness, however that is where I got mine.
Hello! Im sorry i know that this video is 3 years old but i was wondering if a dog clicker would be ok for a tiel for training? For example i also have rats and its too loud for them so i use a lid of a very small jar My dog clicker is a lot louder than the one you had in the video but would it harm the tiel? Amazing video btw!
Samaryan Yes I would :)! The smallest available size from Aviator Harness will fit most budgies. It’s marketed as size “XXXS” on Amazon and I would assume that size on their website as well.
Of course, be sure your bird is extremely comfortable with you before harness training :) While you DON’T have to touch your bird tons and tons to put the harness on them (there are ways around that like training them to put their own wings through the wing hole instead of pulling them through yourself) a harness can be very scary to a bird. It is a good idea to have some very established trust with your bird- your bird should be comfortable enough with you and trust you enough that you can touch them before ever starting harness training. You will inevitably brush against their feathers while putting the harness on so they’ll need to be comfy with that, and they also just generally need to understand that you would never ask them to do something that would hurt them.
Definitely! I have a harness for my lovebird, it's a little awkward to put on cause my lovebird is so small but they have the aviator mini for small birds
You're very good with him. That's a well behaved bird.
the secret is an addiction to millet
@@thetoyodacar2264 so uh...millet is a bird drug?
