   Parrot training-Flight Recall

 

Hi all TrainingyourParrot Blog subscribers, So in this months email, We will be talking about how to train your parrot to recall flight.

 

 What you will need

·         A Parrot/ Bird

·         A Treat e.g Millet ( I use apple but whatever your Parrot likes best)

·         A  Parrot Clicker

·         A Training perch (or if your cage opens at the top and you can stick a perch in between, use that)

·         MOTIVATION FOR YOUR PARROT!


 

Instructions

 

Now first your bird should be on the perch. Steps:  

 

1) Make sure your bird is on its perch

2) Hold your Parrots preffered treat behind your hand. Your hand should be not too far away from the Parrots feet

3) Click as soon as he jumps on to your hand

4) Keep on using this method and after he has flied/ jumped onto your hand, on the next turn, move your hand away slightly.

NOW REMEMBER, YOUR PARROT WON`T DO THIS STRAIGHT AWAY! TRY A FEW TIMES AND BE PATIENT. I RECOMMEND THAT 1 HOUR BEFORE TRAINING, YOU TAKE YOUR PARROTS FOOD BOWL OUT OF THE CAGE. THIS IS BECAUSE HE WILL BE HUNGRY AND WILL WORK HARDER TO GET HIS FAVOURITE TREAT.

Parrot joke of the month

                                                    One day a man went to an auction. 

While there, he bid on a parrot. 
He really wanted this bird, so he got caught up in the bidding. 
He kept on bidding, but kept getting outbid, so he bid higher and higher and higher. 
Finally, after he bid way more than he intended, he won the bid - the parrot was his at last! 
As he was paying for the parrot, he said to the Auctioneer, "I sure hope this parrot can talk. I would hate to have paid this much for it, only to find out that he can't talk!" 
"Don't worry." said the Auctioneer, "He can talk. Who do you think kept bidding against you?


  Random Parrot Tips

·         Never feed your parrot: Potatoes, Chocolate, Avocado or anything with sugar/salt in it (apart from most fruits)

·         Keep an adequate sized cage for your Parrot, enough for him/her to stretch his/her wings and move about

·         Parrots don’t usually get along well with dogs and cats, unless your Parrot doesn’t go mad when seeing your dog/cat. If you have both pets, keep your Parrot in a different room

·         Don’t step on your Parrot. :P
