training

Hey everyone, I have come here because I love birds and am the owner of a blue female parrotlet called Daisy and a blue budgie called Charlie. I bought Daisy as company for my budgie because the shop owner said it would be fine As it turns out, budgies and parrotlets aren't supposed to kept...

Hi Everyone, I have a almost 2 year Princess Parrot that is full flight and has decided her new favorite place to land is my brand new couch, where I don't want her to land. Any advice on how to deter or stop her from landing there. As soon as she lands I take her away from there but she...

I'm trying to find where I can get training for avian sex DNA training.:grey::greenyellow:

Hello all! This is my first time posting, and wanted some advice for my white-fronted Amazon. Her name is Captain America, and we adopted her about a year and a half ago. She's basically our baby, and we love her to bits and pieces, and she loves us! (From what we can tell.) Our main issue is...

Hunny Sunny Munny Bunny and Roger are adjusting well to their new room. I gave them my extra bedroom and set everything up for the to be free in there. My friend had said I shouldn't let them out before hand taming them, but I couldn't do that to them. They love flying around! They are about a...

Does anyone ever feel like despite all their efforts that maybe their little feathery friend isn't happy? To give a little background, Aki is a canary-winged parakeet that was stuck in a pet store (and in an undersized enclosure) for over half a year before I couldn't stand it anymore and...

I bought this harness for my almost 1 year on gcc Ari but he hates it. Is there any way that I could train him to hold still and slip his head through? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Hi all! A bit of backstory... I got my first parakeet, Rio, over three years ago. It was just him and me, and I had taught him how to come out of the cage and step up. Fast forward a year and a half and I got another parakeet, Luna. The two immediately bonded, and Rio "forgot" his...

Hi everyone. Māui has been going great and we’re really developing a good bond. I’ve started trick training and he’s already mastered targeting, spin, shake, and I’ve managed to capture his wave. I’ve also been doing a lot of desensitisation training for the harness and he now tolerates it...

Hi everyone! New Quaker parent here :) I've had my little Nova for about 2 weeks now and I absolutely ADORE the bones off her. I have a few questions I'm hoping some of you can answer for me if that's okay. 1. Taming I've got budgies that I managed to tame myself and I'm guessing the...

I have a couple of issues I'd appreciate some help with. I've restarted training of Sammie, my 13 1/2 year old white bellied. She's been with me since she was 4 months. I'm experiencing the same issue I had when I initially started target training. I get her to touch a stick or bell and...

Hi, so iv had my cockatiel since just before she was weaned and I had to spoon feed her, iv taught her to step up when she was little and we have a great bond but I never knew you were meant to teach her how to forage or show her how to use toys ect I just honestly thought she just wasn’t...

So I got a dusky conure on the 11th he's 7 months old and was quite nippy when I first got him because no one wanted to see him due to the other brighter colored birds, which is a damn shame he's such a sweet little guy now but I digress a bit. I tamed him by quite a large margin he doesn't bite...

Hi everyone, I'm a first time bird owner and have had my linnie, Simon, for a month now. I'm at the point where I can put my hand in the cage and he isn't very scared of my anymore so I've started trying to feed him from my hand. My problem is: I put food in the palm of my hand and he'll...

Hey Guys, A few months ago I posted about my Goffin Cockatoo (Jojo) suddenly becoming terrified of me. I have been working with him, but I feel like I need a little help in making progression. He's terrified to leave his cage most of the time. I will leave it open for hours (keeping distance)...

Recently I bought my parakeet toys designed to hook outside of her cage and perch on. I hooked her cage open so she would be able to get to them easy. However, I didn't know where to start in helping her realize she can come in and out however she wants as she pleases. I started with getting her...

I recently adopted a 6 month old green cheek conure. Problem is, he's rather nippy. I've done so much research and tried so many methods in order to get him to stop, but nothing has worked. He bites hard to the point it breaks my skin. Here is what I have tried so far: - Blowing on him gently...

in a past post I told my story regarding a parakeet flew in my window. I live in a loft very big with lots of natural perches all over the place it took a while but she got used to me and sometimes allow me to get my hand verycloce.OnceI got her to perch on my hand.One problem ( as I see it) is...

So me and yoshi, my GCC seemed to be on the right path in forming a bond - he started taking food from my hand through his cage, then inside the cage and then from the palm of my hand all in the same week after 1 month. But now we seem to have reached a stagnant point in which he refuses to step...

Training continues...i'm stuck I've had my GCC, Yoshi for just over a month now and he's made major progress since i first got him - initially he was afraid of hands but now he takes food from my palm with no hesitation. Next step in his training is for him to actually go onto my hand, i've...
