african grey parrots are so cool! i owned a rainbow lorikeet and he was the
worst bird for clicker training because hes a nectar easter so it was hard
to find treats her could have as they ahve a strick diet so i was using
plain ricse crackers and home made dried fruit, sadly he passed away last
september, i want to buy a african grey parrot but they are $4300 to buy
one here not hand reared
Target train your bird. Get a stick and when ever the bird touches the
stick click and reward. Once the bird understand that it needs to touch the
target using the cue touch or target, you can have the bird follow the
target around. From there you can use it to spin, pair the word with it,
then fade out the target using the word.
ive started trying to clicker train my african grey, and hes at the stage
where he knows that a click means a treat, but sometimes after i click and
hold the treat out for him, he tries to chomp my finger off instead of
taking the treat from me. is there anything i can do to help this? im
convinced hes the most stubborn parrot the world has ever seen.
any major petshop will have one, just ask for a dog clicker (they’re the
same thing but people know them better for dogs) petsmart has them for
under $2
this clicker for what age of bird work ,because i have one he is 14 weeks
know ,so he is a baby so is this work for this age?and thank you for the
video.
will it bite if you give it the treat i mean like a untamed bird doing with
it the clicker thingy will it bite me instead of taking the treat? plz
reply!
The bird tricks videos were done with untamed, aggressive parrots. Tiko,
the blue and gold macaw, was never touched for 20+ years before Dave and
Chet filmed those taming videos live with him. I’m shocked if not even the
target/touch training method worked for you, or the Power Pause. Birds
respond to those techniques within minutes.
I’m having trouble with my cockatiel. Does clicker training work for them?
Shes is fearful of me when I come into the room and she wont take treats
from me, so I wouldnt be able to hold the millet up to her. I’ve held the
millet up to her and she runs away. Do you know what I can do? Ive had her
for a few weeks to a month.
No, parrots in captivity need to be working for their food to keep them
motivated and stimulated. They would search for food for around 8 hours a
day in the wild, so it’s more detremental to the bird if you just give him
a food dish that’s full all day. All my birds prefer to work for it – if I
offer them a dish of food, or give them a food finding toy, they go for the
toy to get their food. It’s more natural, and it’s what they are designed
to do.
yeah ok thanks i’ll give it a try……..but if i take his food away from
him, will it not make him think that he’s done something wrong and taking
his food away is punishment?

It’s not that the bird like the clicking, it is just forming a pathway of
communication between person and birds making it easier to communicate.

It’s not loud enough to hurt anyone’s hearing/ears.

You want to use the clicker when the bird is taking some kind of food
reward.
