Help With Parrot

Yep, that sounds good.

If your interested in doing further training with him, there is a book called "Getting Started: Clicker Training for Birds" by Melinda Johnson. It goes over that as well as telling you how to teach tricks. It also discusses how to tame birds and end aggressive biting and how to calm fearful birds. It's done using ALL positive reinforcement.

It uses methods similar to the one you posted, but instead of saying GOOD, you click the clicker, then give a treat.

The book explains it very thoroughly. I highly suggest getting it as it will really help you out, strengthen the bond between you and your bird, and will give you the opportunity to have fun and enjoy owning a parrot.

Foooood & Treeaaattss!

Thats what usualy helps lol!

Put your hand infront of your bird then show it some treats from your other hand, your bird should then climb onto your hand (While you show him the treats and saying ''step up'') and then you finaly give the bird a treat & of course congratz your bird with ''Your such a good bird''!

After some practice your bird should get used to you saying step up, then hopefuly with time and care it will learn to step up when you ask it too.
