[@lilligorojovsky108]

hey i was wondering how it is that you get the bird to tilt? my cockatiel adjusts to any movement of the perch to keep himself upright.

[@cagan1357]

My green cheek does that too

[@kyekyewolfplays089]

my budgie does that too

[@elinatsadourian639]

Hold their toes they can’t move then

[@mxmmyeee__6963]

Sameee

[@brakamonoga4651]

Elina Tsadourian no! don’t do that, he gets scared when you hold their toes! it makes them wanna fly away

[@evazheng8804]

this is so hard when I have my hand tilt back my parakeet keeps on using it as a moving log to run on LOl

Training birbs takes patience. But the results are amazing. ❤🐦❤

[@budgiebreder]

My bird (hahns macaw) was one of 6 birds in his nest. We choose him because at 2 months old he was the only one of the 6 that was calm on his back. He was the oldest of the 6. Over the time since then we have continued to flip and spin him hold him and otherwise touch him as needed so he doesnt care about being held to begin with! But this is a great tutorial for those who dont normally do this! Note, we choose him at 2 months old but we took him home at 4 & 1/2 months old. His breeder was kind enough to allow us to come out weekly to get & keep him super tame before we took him home permanently.

[@doggomoredoggo6547]

How do I flip my macaw, he’s a big boy, big enough to scare my golden retriever

[@budgiebreder]

@@doggomoredoggo6547 alot of patience! Start with a secure hand over their back, then over time tip them to one side closer and closer to onto that secure hand. Mqke sure you secure both wings! And the bird never feels like its going to fall. That will always freak it out. Start working with it to allow touch freely above all other training (except recall - thats the most important “trick” any animal should know!)

Awww the bird looks so adorable laying on his back

[@Neuryn]

How do I train a timid bird? She's so clingy and adorable but she's too scared to learn anything new so idk how to "train" her. I've tried to teach her sthg as simple as wave but she's interested in scritches only

[@point4939]

Hi, I’m gonna assume you probably don’t need help anymore since it’s been two years, but for anyone else who stumbles across this and has the same problem, here’s my advice: It helps to have a designated training spot with limited distractions. The bird will most likely start to associate the spot with learning and focusing, and after a while, will automatically change its mindset whenever it’s training time. This is similar to how it’s recommended that you don’t work on your bed since you associate it with sleeping and will probably start getting tired or not want to work, or to how we have designated schools for learning. It could also help to build a consistent schedule of training, i.e. ten minutes every day at 4:00pm. Of course this isn’t always possible due to other responsibilities and the happenings of life, but even simplified versions can help a lot, i.e. roughly once a week in the afternoon. Repetition and consistency are always key. The length of each session is also a big contributor. My bird isn’t very timid, but does have a super short attention span and a very defiant personality, so I keep the sessions short and stop once I see he’s getting too distracted. As for a timid bird who’s scared of learning tricks, it’s super important to take it really slow to avoid forming or enhancing any anxieties. Learning too much at once can be very overwhelming and nerve-racking, and once your bird has a negative experience, it forms strong opinions and associations which can be really difficult to rectify. You should focus on simple tricks and integrate plenty of rewards, from treats to a quick scritch, and, when applicable, constantly reinforce that the bird is doing the right thing, like a *click* in clicker training. Any form of encouragement helps motivate the bird to keep trying. FlockTalk is really good at taking each step slow and emphasising that any progress is an improvement, so definitely follow her advice and be patient; very patient. If the bird isn’t making any progress, change your teaching approach. The bird is probably confused and will promptly give up if they feel they’re getting nowhere. Target training is a great simple trick to learn which I and many other people recommend starting with since it’s the basis of many more-complicated tricks and can be adapted and varied very easily to suit the birds comfort level. The location of the target can change almost infinitely to increase or decrease the difficulty, and things like a time limit can be introduced to make it more of a challenge, i.e. if the bird doesn’t reach the target fast enough, the target moves to a new location, making it a game of chase and speed. I’ve made a play gym for my bird which is great for practicing this trick due to the variety of obstacles, paths, and locations to place the target, and I’d definitely recommend anyone else do something similar since it encourages exploration -good for timid birds-, is fantastic intellectual stimulation, provides heaps of entertainment, and can be easily customised and altered for any need. If the bird still isn’t learning as fast as you hope, isn’t learning anything at all, can’t do anything more than basic tricks, doesn’t have the mental capacity for learning tricks, etc, then maybe it’s best to lower your expectations and find a way to be proud of your bird no matter what. Some birds don’t learn as well as others and by lowering your expectations, you’ll probably find it easier to teach your bird since any form of improvement -whether it be looking in the right direction or waiting a second longer before turning away- is seen as an accomplishment.

[@emmie9435]

Your hair is gorgeous. :)

[@NoahTheElk]

Once your bird is able to lay in your hand like that, is it comfortable for them and they enjoy it, or do they do it just for a treat or because they have to?

[@lumechlin6404]

OML I luv ur videos I got my pet parakeet for Christmas he is under a year old and I love training him it's like a hobby to train animals mostly dogs tho birds r more fun because well they can be smarter

[@nocluecuilley]

OMG THIS HELPED ALOT !!! :) but my bird kept flapping his wings cause he thought he was gonna fall hahahaha

[@sarahroddwn3322]

I was teaching my friends budgie this and when i tilted him he just climbed to the part he could stay up right so i had to do my hand on top first i only got him to do it twice but its a cute treat and I'm sure it works when u spend more time with him

[@bojman]

[@thefloofbirb8489]

I searched up some fun parrotltrick tutorials, beginnin trying this one- parrotlet doesnt even wanna tilt on my hand without acting as if its a hamsterwheel where he has to keep upright

[@samarsinghthakur3525]

[@meganmcguinness1882]

Could u do a video about how to make your treats and make sure that your parot likes them please

[@bobsmith2765]

would this be hard with something the size of a sun conure?

[@josephfiel706]

If possible please give references for places to purchase toys for large parrots umbrella cockatoo mollucan and African greys.

Luv this vid

[@priyanshu2159]

which type of bird did u used to perform these tricks??

[@jbidlow9617]

I trie to twisthim and he just keeps walking forward on my finger

[@jadej2745]

I wonder, would the 2nd method by better for parrots? Or would the 1st method be better just because it is less stressful for the bird?

[@hafsah005]

Jade J 1st

[@paraumbralin]

Well, the bird in this video IS a parrot so... xD 1st one is better I think unless your bird just won't tilt (like if it just adjusts as you tilt)

[@zenamatthews9380]

You forgot to explain how one holds the clicker here. Could you go over it pretty please?

[@gameswalisarkar1233]

Whats the name of treat that u r giving this cute bird??

Hey, I got a new cockatiel, he/she’s a baby like 16 weeks and doesn’t really have a grip with his/her feet. should I wait until he’s/she’s stronger or can I start teaching him?

[@fleabalzary331]

Because he/she already is letting pet them. They let me give them head scratches and pet their back so I was just wondering

[@vinayaklokhare8701]

Which type of your bird ,what's a name of this bird

My cockatiel was born with some of her claws missing , so she can't really hold on to me .

StormyTheParakeet I like your birds name! is your parakeet a normal parakeet? mine is a rosy bourke.

[@maggie7125]

angela 5234 what I did to train my bird was after she got used to me flipping her upside down she didn't really have a strong grip either. when she was entirely holding on tight I slowly lifted my fingers and she plays dead on my hand npw

[@doodlebob9147]

Skittles the Parakeet thank you !🙂❤️❤️

[@maggie7125]

angela 5234 no problem anything for bird lovers! my bird is too small to hold onto my finger so that is why I trained her tht way. she is getting stronger so I'm training her the other way now!

[@zenarion]

Trying the first method tomorrow with my budgie

[@amyp8162]

The second method worked for my tiel. I think having my hand on his back helped him feel more secure. Thank you!

[@melisagoktekin7859]

What do you give them as treats??❤️

[@koa1938]

I use spray mullet

[@wonderbooks4225]

Melisa Goktekin i usually use there favorite type of seeds my cockatoo likes strawberries and small pieces of bannanas at time he also like millet! if you dont know what its favorite is try diffrent tupes of seeds are so its like a test! :)

it is very hard to teach my bird to do tricks because whenever I try to show her anything new she flips out and I loose her trust, then when I try again she flys away even quicker because she knows what I am going to try to do. How do I show my bird that new things (for example putting her on a table) isn't something to be afraid of?

Hi Flock-talk, what is button clicker for?

[@teamilk]

the clicker is used to train the bird. like if u asked the bird to do something and it does it, u click once and feed him the treat. it's like telling him "good boy" but it's a consistent click sound instead.

[@4my4blessings]

How many days did this take? Could i do it in one day?

[@teamilk]

i think it takes sometime. i train my lovebird recall and positioning everyday 20mins for 1 week. till now he still doesn't fly to me immediately. lol. depends on his mood.
