I have just started training my green cheek a new trick - letting me pick him up by the back and move him without biting or nibbling. The cue is "Grab you!" 😎. He is so food motivated that training a new behavior is just a matter of him understanding what I want. Now after I have picked him up, moved him and given him his treat he comes back and waits to be picked up again.
Remember when training something new to always Use bigger rewards (especially if you just pushed a bit harder or if your birds being a champ) Cue different tricks though out the training session Make the session a bit shorter than normal End on a positive note (your birds favourite trick or a really good ‘grab you!’ (cute cue name))
I have a 3 month old parrotlet and the budgie course was amazing in helping me start to train Charlie. I got him just a month ago and he is making good progress on Target training, he recalls very well and he is learning several tricks. He is so smart I have to work to keep up with him! Thanks Jaimie for helping little Charlie and I to have a great start to our relationship!
I used target training to get my bird on a perch to put him into his cage. I just put the perch near him and asked him if he wants to go back inside into his cage. It works! 👍😄
I think target training is possibly the most important thing to train. Not only does it make handling easier but it is the basis of many tricks such as turning around
Thank you so much you’ve been a real help to me for a few months im really happy that i found you guys your amazing and taught me so many educational things ♥️
My blind parrotlet, Luna, had to endure a gentle lift against her chest feathers to get her to step up initially (because she could not see a reward). I started with much clicker/treat training so that as soon as she moved for a step up I could click. I literally only brushed her a couple times. It pained me to do so. She is a step up champ now!
I feel like I lost trust and it took a while to rebuild after she had an eye infection. It is really hard to give a budgie eye drops. There was nothing other than a towel to get her to be still.
I would like to keep all those rules but definitely have a slightly rocky relationship with my birds at the moment. One of my birds died late this summer (leukemia), and another one got a bad case of Macrorhabdosis / Going Light syndrome. It got so bad I had to leave her at the vet for several days to be tube fed + 3 weeks of medication. She is not panicking when I approach her but she definitely is avoiding me more than usual. Only one who is still interacting with me is my 11 year old budgie who sometimes crashes and allows me to pick him up off the floor 😅
For any one new here There porch is screened so the birds aren’t able to fly off And for her bigger birds they are free flight trained never take you bird out side freely (unless harness trained, free flight trained, in a crate of outdoor aviary )
I’ve had mine for a year now and they are still so scared of me. I don’t do much to freak them out I’ll stick my hand in (not chasing them) and they will go into a panic until my hand is gone to the point they are out of breath
Thank you for the rich info but I’m wondering if you have an advice to avoid Chlamydia psittaci since this Kind of bacteria are very harmful to humans and at the same time we like our birds?
Ive been trying to tame my old cockatiel. Any tips on how to tame him eventhough his cage is outside our house. Does having his cage outside our house affect the process of taming him? Please I need to know.

The biggest game changer for me and my baby was learning ti respect his boundaries. The minute i stopped forcing him everything gotsdo much beter.

Thank you beautiful lady. I love learning from you.

Bird tricks is definitely the best parrot channel on You Tube IMO.
Comment to support this wonderful channel.

The love bird flew away😊
I train my dogs and will use these guidelines. Good stuff.
My budgie that I had when I was a kid, once I stuck my hand in his cage in the dark and spooked him. He was never the same after that.
This really helped since i just got a budgie
So great you’re on the right path from the start!
Just keep watching BirdTricks there’s always more to learn

Leave the habitat door open and eventually they will come out. Birdtricks has more videos on taming btw.

where can I buy that tree like thing your bird is perched on???
Great video 📹

What species or mutation is Monet? I have never seen that combo of colors on a lovebird before.
I suspect Monet is a hybrid of a Fisher lovebird and a Rosy-Faced lovebird, not so much a mutation.
@@trainyourlovebird it's a hybrid, but it's between eye-ring species (masked and fischer), no peach-face involved.
@@niky00045 You could be right.
That would explain the prominent eye ring. I was misled by the rump colors, which are the natural colors of a peachfaced rump.
1.) Look at them
2.) Talk to them
3.) Get frustrated and chase them with your finger.
