10 Practical Uses For Target Training Your Parrot

[@srrfounder1]

My baby bird FLEW to me for the 1st time yesterday using your target training! I really can't take credit. I basically introduce some- thing new, like your SFS or pellets, and s/he takes to it instantly! It's so EAGER to learn and so am I 😊🐦

[@BirdTricks]

Awe! Love this! 🥰

[@TikitheIndianRingneck]

That is Awesome!!!!

[@Ansonidak]

Congratulations! It's so adorable how eager they are to engage with you once they realize what the program is.

[@carina9629]

Awwww what species is it?

[@TikitheIndianRingneck]

I started Target training with Tiki after I brought him home at 8-9 weeks old! At 4 months old now the target training, learning other tricks, and learning flight training has been so simple for Tiki. He flies to me now no problem. The BEST NEWS IS... TIKI LOVES HIS NEW BIRD TRICKS T STAND!!!! Video coming soon of him using it!!! Thanks again Jamie, Dave, and Capri... I have learned so much watching ALL the Bird Tricks videos and all the write ups. So glad I also got Tiki on the Pellets and Seasonal Feed!

[@Justawarthunderplayer123]

My parrot is also called Tiki hahahaha

[@martalech6371]

I just started to target train my Greek cheek..I have had her for 3 years since she was 10 weeks ..she's a wonderful bird will fly to me most of the time lol but would love to get her to a point where she understands me in her way. I been doing this for 2 days and is doing great..but she is kinda afraid of the clicker sound.. thank you for this video!!

[@BirdTricks]

Put the clicker in your pocket or behind your back for awhile and then slowly start bringing it more forward as she starts to get used to the sound.

[@amandacovington2548]

Can't remember if I commented already but after seeing this in ONE session we made it so easy to get my little lovebirds back in without being 'tricky'

[@BjornMaxson-ju5rv]

Hello Amanda, how're you doing today....

[@LadyAutumn]

My birdie is super smart and goes in her cage willingly if I say "let's go - cage!" 😊 I have lentil kale and spinach noodles that she only gets if she goes in her cage for me

[@Ansonidak]

That has worked great for me too. My boy knows he's going to get his number 1 favorite treat. for going in his cage so he is quite eager. He even anticipates when he sees me getting ready to leave the apartment. Sometimes I don't even have to actually ask him to go in.

[@amandacovington2548]

Its amazing how relevant the topics are to where i am at. Thank you for your awesomeness. I got my little blue lovebird back into his cage with targeting today! Not even a year...❤

[@malinamichalska419]

Yes thank you so much, more people need to see this! Love ur vids!

[@joebean3615]

Totally agree! So glad they’re getting more subscribers

[@lorenzoor3177]

This video cannot be more direct and useful! I've seen you and other trainers using this technique and didn't quite get the concept unti now! Many thanks for sharing! 🤩🤩🤩

[@tuliplouart]

My genius cockatiel Junji learned to target train in like a day, thanks to you! I've only been feeding him millet for training purposes, so it helps that he's very millet-motivated. He's gotten so good at target training that I'm working on "spin" with him! Now I just gotta get him to stop screaming/whining lol.

[@connied8507]

For some reason my birds are afraid of the stick used for targeting but the idea of getting them to fly to an area I point to with the stick just might be a game changer. Thanks for the fresh take. I love the enthusiasm.

[@wendycottingham8011]

Target training around your hand is great for hand shy birds!! Great video!

[@BirdTricks]

Yes!!!

[@Ansonidak]

It's good for bird shy hands too!

[@conniepeterson3004]

Excellent tutorial!! Thank you!

[@davecurda2350]

Great video Jamie

[@partyofnone159]

I just got my Cockatiel named Rosie, it’s been a few days and she’s been pretty energetic but also a bit nippy when she gets nervous so I’ve started to use target training to help keep her calm and change her focus off her bitting response to me trying to change her food and water, my skin is very weak so I do not wanna get bitten 😅 I feel like target training is going to really help me bond with her and teach her to be gentle

[@doingrandomstuff476]

Thank you for that video!! What treats are recommended? I just adopted a rescued conure, and he is on veggies and formula small balls. What can j used as preferred treats?

[@joebean3615]

BOOM another great video from BirdTricks I love your content so much! (P.s id love if you could do a time lapse of you making the SFS with some of your birds out I find it so fun to watch any diet video really!)

[@idahoe7581]

Do you have a video about how to use terms, 'Step up,' step down, step back? I think I'm confusing our conure. For example, when I pass Cheech from my shoulder to my partner's, is that a step down? Or from my finger to his finger? To a perch, do I say 'perch' or step up? Thanks.

[@johnd4hl56]

my budgie loves the target practice, it really warms him up for calls to fly to finger. But he does not understand to fly to target, he will move to it if it's near place that he's sitting on, but he will not leave the branch or his spot to fly where the target is.

[@currawongs]

Is there anything you can do if you see a bird in the wild that is probably someone's pet?

[@DatBoySicko]

W vid

[@hollandfan67]

Any recommendations on treats? My bird is super picky

[@ahill52321]

what is the best treats to use for training a conure?

[@plshion]

Is there a reason why Bondi is the star of this video? ^^ Target training works wonders even for ADHD parrots like the Galah

[@davidlahaisejr7479]

Good ideas to train your Parrot . Do you Recommend a store in Florida

[@lilbri2626]

What if your bird shows no interest in the stick and get scared when u do the clicker?

[@LIFEOFMARIAHEVERYTHINGNURSING]

Try this to do the step-up method and click the clicker when he or she steps up and gives your bird a treat. That's so your bird can get used to the clicker sound

[@sandyflores819]

I will be getting my sweet conure this weekend. After bonded, what treat would be the best to use for target training?

[@BirdTricks]

Every bird is different and has different preferences. Here is a blog post all about finding what your bird's favorite treats are. birdtricksstore.com/blogs/parrot-care-blog/bird-treats-for-training-finding-yours?_pos=1&_sid=4cf67e884&_ss=r

[@sandyflores819]

@@BirdTricks Thank you. Have a wonderful day!

[@idahoe7581]

Hey Sandy, I buy crushed peanuts(baking isle) and make them smaller again in my electric whizzy thingy. Also half Pine nuts. And if you are a beginner, sign up for the Birdtricks course ASAP. Well worth the money!

[@sandyflores819]

@@idahoe7581 Great idea! I will sign up. I am getting my sweet baby conure today. I am super excited but nervous as I have read so much info. I know this will be a great experience. I will try the pine nuts for sure. Thank you. Have a great day!

[@conniepeterson3004]

Our baby sun conure will do about anything for a small piece of walnut, pecan or a pine nut. I use pine nuts for foraging on his cage play top so walnut or pecan pieces are saved for training mostly.

[@demon.that.draws777]

Can you do any pigeon related content, pigeons are 100 percent trainable, and I haven't seen anyone do a video on it

Where to go to go and get a bird?
