Great advice and thank you!
I have a 6 month old baby yellow-sided green cheek conure which I got over a month ago and started training him almost immediately to step up, turn around, come to me when called, fetch different toys, go upside down in my hand, and currently trying to get him to spread his wings. I also talk to him a lot which he seems to like. He is such a sweet guy! I think trick training helps to teach manners. I don't put up with biting and do say no which works, however try to reinforce positive stuff he does more- he is very treat motivated so that helps. Some people have told me that his being so sweet may fade with hormone changes as he matures. Is this true? I have him out of his cage a lot, 3-4 hours a day if home, and socialize him with friends. If the hormone changes are inevitable I would love to hear more.
