First things first

First things first

In order for the training sessions with your bird to be effective and useful, trust is a vital component. It might take some time to build trust with your new parrot, and it may differ from bird to bird. Keep also in mind that the bird should be 4-6 months before you start regular parrot training sessions. Training pet parrots has benefits that extend well beyond the entertainment value of a parrot that can talk and do tricks. Training will strengthen the bond you have with your parrot, which will look forward to the one-on-one attention involved in training sessions, especially when success means lots of praise and attention along with favorite treats. In addition, teaching some simple commands will make handling your parrot easier.

Purchasing a parrot should be given a great deal of thought; parrots do not make good impulse purchases. Some of the larger and more popular parrots can be very costly. The most popular big parrots are the African Grey, the Amazon parrots, Macaws and Cockatoos. These species are easy to train and very intelligent birds, but will cost you more than other smaller and less popular birds. Parrots require attention on a daily basis and plan on 30 minutes of your time a day to interact with your bird. Parrots are sociable birds and will require at least that much time. You as the owner will become the parrots companion and it is vital to spend daily quality time together to prevent negative behaviors.

If a young bird is purchased it must be nurtured and comforted as a first step in parrot training, this is easy but can be a problem if not done properly. Start out spending small amounts of time with your new bird, dont spend more time when the bird is new than when the newness wears off or this will cause behavioral problems. Caring for your pet is essential before training can begin. Providing the proper diet for your parrot has changed greatly over the years. Early on in the pet trade parrots were fed solely a seed diet. It is now known that seeds diets are inadequate and need to be supplemented. Use seeds sparingly if at all and replace with a manufactured diet and fresh fruits and vegetables. Variety is very important in keeping a parrot healthy. Exploration outside of the cage should be encouraged with supervision to satisfy their normal curiosity. The bird learns to not be afraid of new things and learns important skills by being exposed to a variety of new things. Exploring should only include those areas of the home that you choose and are safe and use parrot training to introduce new things into its surroundings to help prevent boredom.

Basic training

One of the first and most basic of parrot training lessons is the up command and is a excellent starting point with new parrots. Start out approaching the bird slowly with an extended finger or hand and say up as you press against the birds chest. After a few tries the bird will learn to step up on command. This will help in removing the bird from play areas and placing back in the cage.

Wish you all the success with your beloved bird
