So that's me

[Melund]

Hey there,
my name is Melina and I'm 22 and from Germany. I'm a full time student at University and I have two ridiculously cute Lovebirds. One is quite tame and the other really isn't. He'd much rather chew everything in sight than to sit anywhere near me.

I have decided to try and clicker-train the tamer one. Without much success. Thats why I'm here. If anyone has any tipps for me, they are very welcome.

Hello and welcome! Germany sounds interesting. What was the problem with clicker training her? Was she disinterested or afraid of the clicker? A little bit more information will make it easier to help .

 

[Melund]

She is completely disinterested in the whole idea. She is not that interested in treats anyway somehow. I have tried a lot of things like all kinds of fruit and seed and millet. If those things are in the cage, no problem. If i have them in my hand she will only eat them if I want to eat them myself. She'll do like a click have some apple and click have some apple and then she'll just fly off. I don't get it. She is really smart but she just won't get interested in what I wanna do with her.

Welcome to the forum!


You might try training before meals, when your lovie is hungriest. After the training session, feed her as you normally would!

I already do that. she'll eat bits of apple when she sits on my shoulder. she just doesn't seem to be that into treats. or being given them by hand.
