training

Hi everyone! This is my first time posting anything so bear with me for a bit. I am the new owner of two lovebirds since September. They were first in a 47 x B 36 x H 98 cm cage. Ive since upgraded them to a 82 x 54 x 153 cm cage. They love playing outside the cage and dislike going back...

Hello, I was just wondering how long I should space out training sessions. I know they should be short and happen 2-3 times a day, but I had a great session with Rio and I can't help but want to do more! What spacing would you guys recommend? 1 hour? 2 hours?

Hey everyone, So my lovebird has now finally started accepting treats from my hands so tonight I did very basic target training and she picked up the concept pretty well. I was wondering if marker training with a consistent "yes" would be easier than clicker training. I have an Australian...

I'm having a lot of difficulty with my Red Bellied Parrot. She is very afraid of things, prone to biting, flies around the room at any sudden movement or loud noise, and as a result, spends most of her time in her cage. Recently we just built her a little Parrot gym but she was very afraid of it...

So my lovie that I have had for roughly 2 weeks currently won't eat any treats besides chopped walnuts and almonds and she will only eat them if they are in her food dish. I tried using millet and giving it through the bars since shes kinda hand shy but she straight up refuses millet unless it's...

I have had my Untame green cheek conure for about a month now and he seems to have settled in quite well. He is out of his cage everyday the whole time I am home and in cage for when I am at work (about 8 hours.) Has a few toys to play with, chew and foraging. I have been working on trying to...

Hello everyone! I need your help! About two years ago I rescued a cockatiel (Lucky) and a budgie (Tiny), both seniors, from a bad situation. They were in the care of a friend of mine who didn't take good care of them. Their cage was always filthy, their toys were never changed, they were on a...

hello everyone!! We rescued a double yellow amazon parrot and things are going pretty good I think. She almost flew away but turned back and she came right back to my hand!! My heart went to my throat. But I more cautious now. Just before we got her friends tried to clip her but she needs a...

I haven't posted in awhile, so I wanted to give some updates on Jedi concerning his diet, enclosure, and training. Jedi's been on Harrison's pellets for over a year now, but Amazon is now wanting nearly a hundred dollars for a one pound bag... so no thank you. I ordered some of BirdTricks'...

I have a very new baby conure named Tiki, almost 3 months old. I've had her for a month now, and while she is SUCH a sweet bird who loves cuddles, and pets, and obnoxious amounts of attention...it's difficult to give it to her sometimes. She's becoming increasingly more nippy the braver and more...

For my bird I will be getting soon my mom ordered a cage. The dimensions are I believe 28x23x18-20. Are these appropriate sizes for budgies or cockatiels?

I have a 4 month old GCC named Jäger. Shop owners warned me that birds go through a sort of "teething phase" just like other animals. He lets me handle him almost perfectly. Hes starting to learn the idea of stepping up onto my hand (associates it with the idea of coming out of the cage), i can...

I got Charlie at a breeder, and I thought they let him fledge before clipping his wings. Well, I was wrong... He is going trough his first molt right now and his wing feathers almost completely grew back in already! He flies super well and even fast, but there is one single yet important...

so, I’ve had one of my budgies for a couple of weeks now. We made very amazing progress in one week hand training. She would sit on my finger and listen to me talk by the 8th day of having her Around day 9, she was showing signs she was sick. And I had to bring her back and forth to the vet...

Hi! I just brought home my first bird last Saturday. He is a 4 year old yellow sided green cheek conure, Nikola Tesla. I picked him out 2 weeks ago, shortly after he was dropped off at the bird shop. The people who had him before needed to rehome him, and he warmed up to me pretty quickly...

I was wondering if someone could give me some training advice please. I have a 6 month old crimson bellied conure. He is very tame, very friendly and extremely active. But...he is also extremely irritating. He is not really a biter, more of a nibbler. He loves to gently nibble the ears...

Hello, I have a cockatiel who is in her late teens. this is a fairly new (past few years) thing for her, and though its not a big deal it is slightly inconvenient. She is not a big fan of being petted or touched and never has been, but she likes to sit on me and be involved in what I'm doing...

Hello, it has been a week since I have had my first 4 month old GCC ^^ He is awesome, very playful and loves being on me. The first thing he does when I open is cage is try to get on my shoulder. He is starting to learn too that nipping can hurt me, so he stills tries to nip, but not so it...

I have 2 new 3 month old cockatiels, bought them together from a store so should i cage them together? Are they easier to train together or seperate? I have had them for 2 days is there an appropriate time before they should start accepting treats through the cage? And one final question they...
