I love the bathroom method. Yes. I always try to buddy up a new caique. One is usually a lot more brave. That bird encourages the other. I always carry treats! I give treats for lots of things. They all love getting that tiny bit of walnut! I also begin targeting. I don’t train tricks. But, the bird learns to read me and I learn to read my bird. For me, you have to have patience and persistence. Plus, it’s very important to be calm. I agree with short training sessions. And the training session must end on a positive note. 😊
All really useful methods for training our birds in a range of situations that work, so long as we are consistent and put the time in. Used together, they can be even more effective! Our new little kakariki hen, Maude is settling in wonderfully and adapting to life as an indoor bird really well. Having come from an outdoor aviary with only other kakarikis in, she's learning about the various species she now shares a large room with and about being around people. I don't think the breeder spent much time in the aviaries with their birds, so she's a bit more timid than the kakarikis I've bred in the past, but she's not too bad. She's also building up her fitness and learnt to go back to her own cage at night to sleep, as well as when the potted grasses are brought in to play on, so the daily routine (another _really_ important factor in training my birds) seems to be giving her the confidence to explore her new world and people.
Maude is lucky and sounds like she is doing so well! I’m sure the breeder didn’t get to spend too much time with her. I want to spend more time with the babies I’m raising, but it’s hard to get everything done and do so. Being able to raise your own is nice for that reason. Can’t wait for you to get Princess Parrots!
I am going to try that method with my litte parrot let been trying so hard to get them to wanna hang out with me and they can’t get away from me quick enough, hoping the method will work. Thanks I enjoy your videos

Did it work?
Thank you for watching - be sure to be consistent with your Parrotlets. Given enough sessions/time, they should come around.
I used the bathroom method with my parrotlets a couple years ago.
I assume it worked for you?
@@ParrotBliss you assume correctly 😊 this was like 4 years ago, I saw the technique with another lady and I used a powder room, worked great.
