Training Your Pet Parrot

A parrot needs about as much love, attention and grooming as a human baby. If denied proper attention and training, it can become overly aggressive or submissive, both of which are undesirable. To instil trust in it and form a lifelong bond between you and your feathered friend, you need to:

• Make it realize you love and care for it...
• Identify and respond to its needs...
• Ensure efficient communication with it...
• Have lots of patience...

How to tame your parrot

Taming your parrot is the first step towards training it. Taming your parrot includes making it comfortable in your presence and in its surroundings so that it doesn’t aggressively resist training. Our membership site tells you the secrets of taming your parrot. Here are a few pointers.

• Praise and reward it every now and then...
• Carry it around your house or garden. Initially, wear protective gloves when handling your parrot...
• Keep other pets at a safe distance from the parrot...
• If it behaves aggressively or bites, don’t shout or punish. A firm ‘no’, over time, does the trick...
• Let it roam around the house on its own at times. Just make sure it is safe...
• Introduce your parrot to other family members...

Things to keep in mind while training your parrot

Expert trainers have put together an array of super-efficient ways in which you can train your parrot without breaking a sweat. Here is a glimpse:

To ensure a successful and happy training process:

• Allow your new pet a few days to settle down and be comfortable with its surroundings...
• Have a fixed trainer – you or a family member...
• Position the cage such that your parrot has interesting things – including your daily chores – to look at...
• Talk gently to your parrot...
• Do not rush your parrot to learn everything at one go. Keep in mind that training would take immense time and patience...
• Never shout, scold or punish...
• It’s best to train the parrot in an empty room free of distractions...
• For outdoor training, have its wings clipped by a professional to prevent it from flying away. Alternatively, use a parrot leash or harness...

6 Safe Ways to Give Your Parrot Exercise

Parrots are naturally bundles of energy. Parrots need sufficient exercise to remain active and healthy. An under-exercised parrot is most likely to grow overweight, develop behavioral problems and exhibit submissiveness, depression or aggressiveness. Screaming, biting and restlessness are very common among parrots which don’t get sufficient and appropriate exercise.

However, it is vital to ensure that your parrot is safe during exercise. Our membership site stays with you while you help your parrot exercise in a way that is safe, enjoyable and beneficial for it.

• Allow your feathered friend to stretch its wings and fly around freely. However, before giving it free rein, take all the net curtains down as parrots are prone to getting tangled in them, open the windows and draw the curtains to keep the parrot from smashing into the window glass, Keep fire grates, chimneys and other hot objects suitably covered. Keep other pets away...
• Play games with your parrot that involves lots of walking around and flying. Toss and fetch or teaching it to follow you around is a great idea. Your parrot can also be taught to dance to music!
• Put your parrot on your wrist and rotate your wrist gently. This will encourage the parrot to flap its wings, which is a great exercise...
• Put it on a swing. The parrot would love it and it is also a great exercise. However, make sure the swing is close to the ground so that the parrot is not hurt if it accidentally slips...
• Keep it within spraying distance of a lukewarm shower. Parrots love water and would respond by bobbing its head or flapping its wings, which are again good workouts...

Parrot Toys and Why they are Important

Parrots are naturally playful and enjoy and need toys as much as any human child. Toys have been proven to curb boredom and consequent aggressiveness, screaming and other forms of ill behaviour. Toys also work wonders in keeping your parrot busy and happy when you can’t attend to it due to other preoccupations.

But to my amazement, it worked like magic! The diet prescribed in the course made my parrot become its lively self again and glow with health within days! I would be grateful to your site forever."

"Once I tried some training tricks from your training course, my parrot has become so disciplined that most of the times, I don't even need to keep it in its cage. It loves roaming around the house and garden sitting on my or my son's shoulder. It's difficult to believe that the same parrot used to be an expert at biting fingers."
