My Parrot's First Day Home, Parrot Taming Secrets | PARRONT TIP TUESDAY

Thanks

Thankfully my 14 year old bird who was never out of his cage, ever, before coming to live with me, has never bit me. He gives me kisses & within 3 weeks had picked up my voice and always loves giving kisses & still hates stepping up & being in his cage. From the time I get home, regardless of what time unless it’s dark, his cage is unlocked & he’s interacted with & has become a cherished family member in less than 6 months.

Thank you Marlene. But my rose breasted cockatoo nails me when I put him back in his cage. Or on my shoulder happy as hell them later bites my face. Help, please respond what to do.

Hello, I just bought a 5 mo old male Parrotlet. My problem is he wants to fly around the room. I pick him up because he doesn’t know step up yet and walk back to the sofa. I can hold him maybe 2 minutes then he is off to another part of the bedroom. So how do I keep him interested in me? I think he will fly if I try the Step up Game.

What about a canary ? Is this possible ?

I put him back after mabe 4 hour he didn't drink he didn't eat so that's why I put him back I was worried he didn't eat.:(

Hello,I buy African Grey we think is Boy over 1 year1/2 years old.He is very Angry make angry noises when come near cage I am trying to be very very gentle carefully change his food..I tray to speak gently. I am waiting till he setalling new home

Very helpful, thank you. It is so difficult to know when you are a first time bird owner what to change and when you are pushing too hard for change and too lenient and creating bad habits. Very clear advice and explanation of why to do it. Thank you!

Omg this Video was soooooo helpful. Thank you definitely have a new subscriber🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰

my fear is that when I get my African grey,my dogs will be outside during the day (I'm leaving them outside now already so they don't feel it's because of the bird being here)but what if I can't get my bird back in the cage when it's time to let my dogs in for the night?

I even made a larger Avery so they can fly but the screeching got so so Badi had to put them back in smaller cage because the noise was so so so loud outside I was worried about getting complaints

Thankyou for the tips like is it possible to make them a jacket so you can take them outside so they can fly a bit

But how do you keep them out without worry about damage to house

I don't realy want to re-home is there anything I can do about worry about wallpaper and shrill screeching?is there anything I can do

What do I do

My bird rips wallpaper instantly and I don't know what to do my bird was untamed adult bird and living in a small room with cats and dog lol they screech so loud that I'm scared we will get kicked out so I'm scared to let them out of the cage cse of them ripping wallpaper in last place

how do you get your untamed bird back to the cage?

I don't have a bird yet, but someday I would love one! I have seen another video, from a different bird expert saying when you first bring a bird home not to put him in the cage right away. What is your opinion?

You’re so gorgeous. You’re like a upgraded mila kunis

I just got my first bird, a hand-fed cockatiel, and I started with leaving the cage open and hanging around. Once it came out, it pretty much just came over and hopped on my knee and up to my hand then climbed up to my shoulder lol. Checked if it would step up onto my hand when I asked and it did, so I just left it on my shoulder

Please respond someone.
If I follow these steps how do you get your bird back in cage etc if its bedtime or your going out

but how does he ore she goes back in the cage?

my bird are budgie 1 female and 1 male male name rainbow dash female green star

Really Informative

Ok, gotta stop watching. This is not a parrot training video. It’s an advertisement for your social media accounts.

Good Afternoon… Sending sooo much love from the Dominican Republic, XoXoXo!!!

I had a pet berd for 5 weeks because he died 💚💔 he was a green buggy

Omg you make it look so easy 🥺

You look like Mila Kunis.

Hi am a new sub and been binge watching your videos esp with Cody and Marlin. Thanks for sharing , I don’t have a bird yet but hope to learn enough to rescue or bring home one in the next few years.

Parrot blaming secrets <3

I’ve had my 5 month old Quaker Parrot for 12 days and I’ve been working very hard trying to get him to trust me. He will take treats from my fingers through the bars of his cage, but if I put my hand inside the cage he runs. Just putting my finger through the bars without a treat will get my finger attacked. I have let him out of the cage twice and both times I had to put a towel over him to get him back into the cage. I thought the towel was more traumatic than leaving him in the cage another week or two, while I continued working on the trust issue before letting him out again. Of course I’m questioning that decision now. When he’s out he makes no effort to return to the cage and instead hides in the kitchen or in the living room behind chairs. I didn’t think we were bonding, until here in the past 2 mornings, I noticed he screams if I’m not setting in front of his cage hand feeding his treats to him. As long as I stay out of the cage and make him earn treats that I give him through the bars he stays right at the front of the cage next to me waiting for the chop stick and the next treat. Today, after setting by his cage training for 2 hours with a chop stick and clicker while talking to him the whole time, I put the top of my head against the cage. I was surprised when I felt his beak in my hair. I was even more surprised when he didn’t bite my head. This bird is terrified of hands. The boy at the pet shop told me to hold his tail feathers when he stepped up to prevent him from flying away. Of course being a US Marine, I told his real quick just how screwed up that was. I don’t think the problem is cage aggression, because he makes no effort at all to return to the cage. He will not step up to a perch when offered a treat either.

His cage is 18”x18”x 31” tall. (That was the largest cage they had). He is the only bird in it).
It has a bird ka-bob and 2 other shredding toys in it.
A cuttlebone.
A rope perch,
A wood dowel perch,
A large multi branch natural wood perch.

For breakfast I give him “Fabulous Fruit Mix” about 9:00 am
For dinner I give him “ZuPreem” Pellets (Natural with added vitamins, minerals, amino acids).
He likes the pellets better then the fruit mix.

For treats I give him:
Nutra-Berries
Maillot Spray
Sunflower seeds

I will build a perch stand this week and see if that helps.
But is there anything else I’ve missed?

What if you can’t even get near the bird or it will fly away if you get too clise

Love you chica!!! Been watching and following for about 2 years now. I just got a 2 month old green cheeked. He's scared of hands atm. I use the perch method to move him from place to place. Mind you I've only had him 9 days. But any information and knowledge you share I greatly appreciate. Much love. Kiss the flock 🦜 💋

Stay safe, happy and healthy!!!

Fellow flocker,
Paulus and Elwood

I’ve had my conure a week now when I open the cage he comes out right a way and flys to me. But he’s biting my neck and ears lol

Just got my new African gray parrot I tried to add you as my friend on Facebook if you can please except me I love watching your videos they are great thank you

What if you have dogs and cats and you can only get your bird out when you put the others up until your bird is trained well enough not to fly everywhere’s? I’m scared they will hurt my bird.

Uhm so i got a green cheek conure yesterday and i had no idea he wasnt clipped because i didnt know they dont clip their wings in my country, the travel cage was very tiny and not see trough so the second i opened it he flew out and wont go back in, i did get him in at one point but let hil out after a while i dont know why really so idk what to do hes just flying around, he sometimes will come and eat from my hand if i cover it with a sleeve but he fears my hands too please help 🥲🥲

my andrew is close to me all the time

I have a quaker parrot his name is Andrew he is adorable I have had him since he was a baby in the morning he flyes to me and he bites my neck how do i fix it?

LOL oh i wish this was true "bird will usualy bond with who puts the work in" Mr GF does nothing for my IRN but he hates me loves her hahahah

Noo I trained my bird forcefully but gave it treat. How can I gain its trust. Please help :(

I'm trying to tell someone about your channel who has a not so tame bird. I told her how you have a technique that utilizes a tame bird. What were you calling that technique???

My issue is I have a little house on one level and dogs meaning the back-door is opening regularly as well as my husband in and out often. I'm so worried my budgie will escape.

Guys I just got a parrot.. Indian ring neck, his in his box right now probably so scared I’m also scared I want to comfort him

Our birds Rome freely all daylong cage is always opened to potty and eat even though they don't need the cage until bed time or they just wanna chill for a nap pretty much or even play with toys

You remind me of a younger me with these birds.. You do things as I would have at your age and even now... I really love your videos.. Right now I have a cockatiel and a blue quaker doing really well adjusting as she blue quaker has been here only 6days and came to me strait away...now the cockatiel is much older and we have had her 5 years age is unknown she is not only jealous but only goes to certain people but even though she lets me and my daughter hold her on our shoulders she does not like affection from just anyone so she toys away from them or gets to the point she protects her territory for sure...

Hi Marlene
I have pair rainbow lorikeets , I put them in a large cage, when I go to near the cage they climb opposite wall of cage or run away from me. Please help me
