+Grand Theft Auto 5 Low Viewers RUclipsr lmfbo the best success that I have ever had was by using the Parrot Ploy Plan (i found it on google) - I found it the most useful resource that I have ever tried.
There are three other things you can try. 1. Create a zone of mutual understanding within the cage - place your hand in the cage and allow your bird to come to it. Dont move and allow the bird to explore your hand as desired learning there is no consequence of your hand being in the cage (aka they wont care if its there) after a few times you can begin to move in the cage or even toward them just dont go suddenly and keep movements slow and “read” your bird if they start to act all agro pause and let them calm before continuing. 2. Give the bird areas outside the cage which it feels are its own. Eg a bird “playground” making both inside and outside areas “mutual” areas and also giving your bird somewhere for my third suggestion. 3. When needing to alter the cage (eg clean it) remove the bird entirely and dont let them see what your up to 😂! Obviously these work together haha!
Oh my goodness!! What a cutie!! I just love the way he looks up at u when u are speaking... he is taking everything in that u are saying... so sweet 🤗😄🏵
Honest to god you've made my day. I was nearly beat up today. In debt badly with not a pot to piss in, fucking miserable. But your impressions and talking to the wee parrotlet made me piss myself! In tears ! Now that's some funny shit!
I like how it got all excited when you got the food xd. I have a budgie that's friendly, it's just when I pet her anywhere on her wings she bites me so I try to avoid petting her wings.
Another thing you can do is expand his territory, give him food outside his cage, have a playgym, or just have toys outside of his cage with treats and stuff. If his cage is open most of the time, and he can go in and out as he pleases, he'll hopefully stop seeing his cage as his only safe and personal space. For me, my parrotlet has access to my whole room (occasionally she'll go to my shoulder and we'll go in other rooms) and I've also never grabbed her out of her cage, my hands only go in for good stuff so she has no reason to be upset. I do most of my work in my room since that's where my computers are, so she's used to me being "in her territory" so to speak. Of course, she's only 11 months old so these points may be moot if she hasn't hit puberty yet but I've gotten conflicting information on when that's supposed to be...so things may change. xD; Only thing she's been slightly territorial over is my keyboard, and now I only let her on there very occasionally now that she's more gentle. I've also taught her the "gentle beak" method.
So your bird is cute and does do well with commands and seems sweet we have a parrotlet who is always sweet unless you mess with his food or water sometimes he's territorial when you go into his cage but that's very rare. He is also sweet when we put him back in his cage from our finger he will hop right in and say good boy bubby. so honestly to have to wear a shirt and make sure it covers your hands to put him away just shows you don't really know parrotlets that well. yes they have their moments all parrots do to show fear is not a good thing and when they bite dont pull away and say ouch you only make them want to do it again. Unless your in a situation such as opening a bag of food right in front of them or crinkling a bag in front of them can make them stir crazy don't bring your hands near em until they calm down. Patience is a virtue when it comes to parrotlets. If you don't have patience then you'll cover your arms like this lady and make your bird confused and make him or her know your scared.
Congratulations! They are amazing. I would say try hard to avoid him biting you & always correct him when he bites (squawk or blow on him, or say no, be gentle etc.). Spend time with him every day including a massage grooming session and night time lullaby and if you have to go away leave him with a pet sitter. Also tell him he is a good boy whenever he is being nice and gentle. Also, just be very careful with him. They are way too bold and curious for their size. Enjoy your new baby!!
Hey! How is it going with her now? I can tell from experience it can be a bit rough the first couple of days and weeks. Especially if you got a previously owned bird that didn't get good socialization
They tend to be cage aggressive and territorial, maybe you can take her out with one of those T perches and move away from the cage. You might want to get her wings clipped until she is tamed.
hehehe, 1st rule doesn't work for me. My loves getting out of his cage. When I put my finger in there, he immediately jumps on my finger and wants me to take him out. Hehehe, all of these rules don't work for me. My bird is super shy. He won't bite me, which is good. He won't even bite others. I can't even put treat up to him. Nah, he's not interested. If I want him to come, I'll put my finger close to him and he jumps up and let me take him to cage. Also I can leave him on perch for several hours and he won't wander around and have someone step on him. I'm so glad that I got him. I've seen other birds attack owner, can't put finger in cage, etc.
The trick is when he flies to you give him a treat. Then condition him so when you snap your fingers he comes to you and you give him a treat. He gets used to it fast.
A budgie is a parrot, an amazon s a parrot, a lovebird is a parrot, a grey is a parrot, a macaw is a parrot, a parrotlet is a parrot. She needs to explain why she says the parrotlet is a true parrot.
Try teaching her the words "want to come out", "tickle", and "step up" and letting her know why you are putting your hands near her. You might want to get her wings clipped to start and handle her outside the cage. Good luck!
my bird bites my fingers like she is doing it just to keep unbored she doesn't do it to be mean but at times she bites abit too hard. its like she is a compulsive biter NOT out of anger and she does have a chew toy two or three times her size.
LionGoddess1 when your bird bites too hard tilt your hand gently to unbalance it a small amount (not enough to spook it or make it fly, be careful) and it will eventually associate the hard bite with the unbalancing and stop
Just got one,a turquious parrotlet and he seems scared,he just stays in one spot,dont play with toys,just eat drink and back to same spot,any tips woyld be greatly appreciated,thank you.
@talkzcheep Hey! Thanks for your videos, I watched your parrotlet videos before deciding to get a little guy of my own. I've a little male Parrotlet, Odo. I've had him for a couple of months now. We seem to be 'stuck'... not making any more progress. He will, step up and eat food from my hands but he's not keen on spending time with me unless its just before his bed - he AIMS and FIRES at me for cuddles in the hood of my bathrobe. Can you give me a little advice? Or maybe another video for us newies? Thank you! Keep safe x
They definitely go through a moody adolescent stage or few! Make sure to give him 12 hours sleep in a covered dark quiet cage to help keep the hormones down. And like raising a teen just keep loving him unconditionally - your sweet bird will be back
@@abcgerbils Thank you so much for taking the time to reply. 12 hours darkness has been our routine so I will keep going and hope this phases passes soon!
I think it really depends on the parrotlet. They all taste things but some seem to be more nippy and bitey and other more gentle, even birds from the same clutch. It's important to distract, avoid and not react to the biting. Sven was very nippy when I first got him. I would roll my hand, put my thumb nail in his mouth, blow a puff of air on him and distract him. Good luck with yours.
I'm sorry that your ringneck is scared of you. I'm no expert on parrots. I just have my one parrotlet. With him I put me finger outside his door and let him come to me. I never make him come out or put my hand in his cage to take him out. Maybe if you tempted him with millet he would come next to the door and eat and eventually sit on your hand. Could you find a parrot expert to work with, maybe someone in your area that hand raises them?
Does this work with lovebirds? What about when ur bird bites ur face or ur neck for no known reason? My love bird is in heat and loves to bite any part of u she can get. When I first got her she was hand tame but had to be moved to my parents and now bites everyone most times now drawing blood. I have told her she is no longer allowed out of her house because she bites. There are two budgies in their own house and another lovebird in his own house. Non of these birds bite. (1 budgie stress bites that's it.) Could she have bounded with the other lovebird to the point of hating us? I have had a lovebird before but not two at the same time so I am completely lost. The first one I had chose to stop bitting me but still would nip others.
www.birdbreeders.com/birds/category/parrotlets Here is one. Many breeders will ship the bird to you on plane and you will need to pick up the birb from your nearest airport. However, that will cost you an extra $100-$150 and may take weeks before they send him/her out to you. Flybabies, however, will send you the birb through the USPS for free, but they charge for the "bird safe" packaging with air holes, sometimes a pocket heater, water, and food which is an extra $40. The bad thing about this is that it's stressful to birds, and they may develop a negative gram infection from the stress. Flybabies has good ratings on the BBB but I'm a little weary getting my own parrotlet from them. I recommend searching for a local breeder and to ask them to show you proof that the bird was tested for the highly infectious and debilitating illness known as Sex Beak and Feather disease; It's basically like a temporary HIV for them. It can be lifelong but tons of tender loving care may cure it. There's also bacterial and other types of infections... there are the big four to ask for (Borna, Polyoma, Psittacosis and PBFD). If you have other birds in household, make sure the new addition is healthy before introducing them in your house.
Thank you for this video, I am just recently bonding with our 2 new birds (most likely both female one might be male) very cute fellows during the day around noon my girlfriend is at home experiencing full audio entertainment! Seems they are happy. However since we got them from a store and they do seem very calm we are building trust from basically 0. We now successfully feed seeds off our hands (sunflower seeds) the big millet sticks are still scary, but when is a time to take an hour or 2 time and sit with them and try let them go out of the cage? They not listening yet have no commands how do you build this up as I think they might not want to return to their cage ?
I'm no expert, but maybe no shoulders for now. Or cover your ears. It's important to be patient and stop or prevent the behavior without reacting to it. Which is hard because ears are so tender. Birds love a good reaction.
I hand-raise cockatiels, and to get them to stop biting, when they nip my ears I give them a little shove with my head. Both puts my ear out of reach and makes them move, and this is the only response. Then when they sit still for a bit, they get attention and scratchies. Same with general biting. Gentle shove if too hard (while twisting finger out). If its gentle or just a tap, attention given. Its less about getting them to stop, and more that an acceptable action gets a desired response. Currently have one who gets my attention by leaning into my field of view and staring.
I'm not sure off how many parrotlets not(perrolet). we own two of them and can put our hands into the cage anytime day or night .If you would like to see vids we can do that . How long have you had that poor bird ?
Parrotlet's come in many temperaments. That is nice that yours are not cage territorial, but many parrotlets are. It is also nice that you are able to house two together, parrotlets can be too aggressive to live with another unless it is in an aviary, experts recommend against keeping them together in a cage. I am no expert any means. I am just sharing what I've learned from my parrotlet. I'm sure it will be helpful for you to create and share videos of your experience with your birds.
My little guy has gotten very bitey and attacking me without any reason 😿 is it hormone season in spring? He’s about a year and a half and I can’t seem to get him to stop... I even tried a technique like your tickle technique. He would fly to my shoulder and start biting my neck and he keeps lunging at my hands.. is there any other advice you can give? hope you can help
I think often parrotlets can see you as their mate. They want to wear you down and dominate you to keep you in the nest. Check out my video help, my parrotlet bit me for more tips. I'd say do not put him in a position where he can bite you, no more shoulder sitting for now. Don't react to the bites (the hardest part!), spend lots of time with him. Teach him to talk and always tell him what you are doing. Teach him tricks (see Charlie the parrotlet). Give him a big cag and foraging toys. Let the cage be his territory and handle him once he is out of the cage (even the top is his space). Good luck! PS - there is always a reason for the biting, it just isn't obvious. They hate crinkly noises, they may want to dominate you, they may thing you are in their space/territory. They may be hormonal. They definitely need 12 hours of quiet, dark uninterrupted sleep to help with that. They may be molting and have lots of uncomfortable pin feathers, If you can figure out which are ready to pop and help with that it is another good way to bond.
Good luck taming him. Maybe clip wings, use a t bar to have him step up and work with him away from his cage and in another room. They are hardwired to be very territorial in and around the cage. I've taught mine, ouch, gentle, no-bite, gentle bite and have to give lots of reminders, even when changing the water or giving treats.
bullshit video start training with a bird that tries to attack your eyeballs everytime he gets out of his cage and when he is in his cage acts very scared of hands unless they hold food
Attacking the eyeballs? That's not normal. You might have to get an experienced bird trainer if it matters a lot to you. Or maybe your bird just isn't social at all for some reason.
To a person who's never owned a parrotlet, the whole premise of this video is hilarious. How to not get attacked by a tiny, adorable ball of fluff.
superblokki i have 3 of them and each have their own personality.
superblokki THEY HURT WHEN BITTEN
Those bites hurt a lot tho
Don't underestimate their power my friend.
They might be a cute floof, but they hurt 😂
I love how your parrotlet tilts his head while you're talking like he's listening intently to waht you're saying.
The way, he stares at you. Is like.... "Hmmmmmmmmmmmm. Interesting. Continue." x3
The way he was repeating 'tickle' oh my god my heart just actually melted!

Curious little lemon~
Awww he just sits there listening to u😍
I think my birds know you because whenever they hear your voice they start singing
OMG! They are so small and adorable, their bites are so dear! Just suck it up and love your birdie!
Oh my goodness!! What a cutie!! I just love the way he looks up at u when u are speaking... he is taking everything in that u are saying... so sweet 🤗😄🏵
I love how ur little bird is too well behaved for u to demonstrate how to deal with the bad behavior xP
Honest to god you've made my day.
I was nearly beat up today. In debt badly with not a pot to piss in, fucking miserable.

I like how it got all excited when you got the food xd. I have a budgie that's friendly, it's just when I pet her anywhere on her wings she bites me so I try to avoid petting her wings.

Keep up the videos, im looking into getting a parrotlet soon and love how much you obviously love and care for your bird. Hope to see more!
My parrotlet has bitten me just sitting on my chest, mellow-like without anyone else around, watching tv then all of a sudden--- bitten !

Birb lady: "Sven likes millet . . ." Sven: "OMFG IS THAT MILLET? I FUCKING LOVE MILLET"
Her: talk talk talk
The bird: *stares at her*
Bird: LOVE ME
I love the blooper at the end.
My bird is all over my, talks and whistles with me, but when I show my hands he starts getting aggressive
Thank you 🥰💕🕊 it is sooo precious how she looks at you like that. 😊
Very good information and insight. I bring my first parrolet home in about two weeks
Congratulations! They are amazing. I would say try hard to avoid him biting you & always correct him when he bites (squawk or blow on him, or say no, be gentle etc.).

so basically the bird trained you.
OMG ITS SO CUTE
my first bird was biting everyone but me
Sven is so adorable!
She almost seems afraid of him, my parrotlet runs and jumps into my hand whenever I put it in the cage to take him out for playtime
this is a very good, and helpful video. thank you
Enjoyed your video ... Watched from begining to end (That's rare) 😇 Blessed be 🙏💫
Parrotlets are so special. We have 12.
I have a yellow and blue bonded parrotlets on my hand cuddling watching this 😭😍
My parrotlet is drawing blood and it really hurts I got her two days ago 😭
Hey! How is it going with her now? I can tell from experience it can be a bit rough the first couple of days and weeks. Especially if you got a previously owned bird that didn't get good socialization
thanos's chin give her time to adapt. That’s why she bit. She’s still learning to trust
They tend to be cage aggressive and territorial, maybe you can take her out with one of those T perches and move away from the cage. You might want to get her wings clipped until she is tamed.
So cute
Sven is a goo’boy ❤
So familiar. We have this little guy too.
What is his name?
abcgerbils - Chizhik, which is Russian for Eurasian Siskin. And he is of the same color.
hehehe, 1st rule doesn't work for me. My loves getting out of his cage. When I put my finger in there, he immediately jumps on my finger and wants me to take him out.

Good luck!
I am deaf now 🥴. Cheerio rattle to close to mic 😂. Good info ....👍
somebody tell me- is the "T" silent in parrotlet? Ive heard both ways.
waiting for your bird to come to you? lol maybe i will get old as you by the time that buger comes to me
The trick is when he flies to you give him a treat. Then condition him so when you snap your fingers he comes to you and you give him a treat. He gets used to it fast.
I use fleece gloves when handling budgies that bite. I don't know if that will also work for the bites of parrotlets.

get a picture for jor channel
I just bought a parrotlet because she seemed so tame at the pet store and doing tricks brought her home and she continues to bite me
Try teaching her the words "want to come out", "tickle", and "step up" and letting her know why you are putting your hands near her. You might want to get her wings clipped to start and handle her outside the cage. Good luck!
Perfect i have a parrotlet to.
Love the colour of it!

when your bird bites too hard tilt your hand gently to unbalance it a small amount (not enough to spook it or make it fly, be careful) and it will eventually associate the hard bite with the unbalancing and stop
Same with parakeet?
What kind of treats did u use ?
Spray Millet!

She used techniques to train the bird when it was biting. She can't untrain her bird for the sake of one video.

I'm no expert, but maybe no shoulders for now. Or cover your ears. It's important to be patient and stop or prevent the behavior without reacting to it. Which is hard because ears are so tender. Birds love a good reaction.

I even tried a technique like your tickle technique. He would fly to my shoulder and start biting my neck and he keeps lunging at my hands.. is there any other advice you can give? hope you can help
I think often parrotlets can see you as their mate. They want to wear you down and dominate you to keep you in the nest. Check out my video help, my parrotlet bit me for more tips. I'd say do not put him in a position where he can bite you, no more shoulder sitting for now. Don't react to the bites (the hardest part!), spend lots of time with him. Teach him to talk and always tell him what you are doing. Teach him tricks (see Charlie the parrotlet). Give him a big cag and foraging toys. Let the cage be his territory and handle him once he is out of the cage (even the top is his space). Good luck!
PS - there is always a reason for the biting, it just isn't obvious. They hate crinkly noises, they may want to dominate you, they may thing you are in their space/territory. They may be hormonal. They definitely need 12 hours of quiet, dark uninterrupted sleep to help with that. They may be molting and have lots of uncomfortable pin feathers, If you can figure out which are ready to pop and help with that it is another good way to bond.

My parrotlet wants to asesínate me every time I come near the cage !
Good luck taming him. Maybe clip wings, use a t bar to have him step up and work with him away from his cage and in another room. They are hardwired to be very territorial in and around the cage. I've taught mine, ouch, gentle, no-bite, gentle bite and have to give lots of reminders, even when changing the water or giving treats.
why do you keep saying "parrowlet"
I've heard it pronounced both ways
Good god, it's not pear-uh-let, it's pear-ut-let. The "t" is NOT silent!!! Laaaaaazy, pure and simple.
It can be pronounced both ways, friend.
👍👍🏻👍🏼👍🏽👍🏾👏👍🏿💟💟💟
Please don't say Parrolet.
My parrotlet bit hard once and broke the skin. I flicked him in the head and he's never bitten since.
bullshit video start training with a bird that tries to attack your eyeballs everytime he gets out of his cage and when he is in his cage acts very scared of hands unless they hold food
Attacking the eyeballs? That's not normal. You might have to get an experienced bird trainer if it matters a lot to you. Or maybe your bird just isn't social at all for some reason.
