How to Bond With and Tame Your Parrot | Gaining the Trust of a New Bird

[@maremert38]

You can also tilt your head and blink slowly. Birds do this when they trust someone, I'm guessing if you tilt your head and blink slowly it means to a bird ''I trust you, so you can trust me'' It worked for my cockatiel and she loves me now :D Thank you for so many likes!!

I'm also hoping my other birds learn by example !!

[@hiamkoujan1960]

Hey, I desperately need help, so ever since we got them (2 birds), my family can't afford to give them an accurate cage, we have a cage that was offered from a pet store. Recently we found out that it was a girl and boy. We named them Willow and Sweetie. I try to avoid direct eye contact, and I have let them out in my room TWICE. The boy, Willow is very scared of me. Sweetie enjoys my presence more, but not as much as your birds do. It seems that Willow has bonded with Sweetie, and refuses to play with me. We got them a few days ago, so I don't know what to expect. Both birds are pretty much scared of me, but Sweetie has stood on my finger when she was in the room with me. I don't know if their wings are clipped, but they can barely fly. They don't eat it if it's from my hand, and I'd stick my hand in the cage for about 15-20 minutes but they still refuse. I have given them apples, celery, and some treats from the pet store. They refused all of them unless I leave them on the cage floor. Is this normal?

[@brienoel4217]

Hiam Koujan yes maybe out a plate at the bittom of the cage. keep showing them your presence is ok

[@whatsontelevision3270]

Same problem here. 8 months later and my birds wont cooperate. Really frustrating. I have tried everything. Nothing works.

[@theoneunslept2093]

Be very careful when feeding them celery! I would even advise entirely against it because of the fibers in it which can clog up their crops! research what other foods are good for birds, and feed them a varied diet with fruit only being a rare treat (it's too high in sugar). As to the taming, keep your hands out of their cage, especially if your cage is small. Their cage should be their safe space, and somewhere where they can go to when they are overwhelmed or scared to calm down. It also sounds like they're clipped, so be careful when you're letting them out since they cant just up and fly away to run away from danger. For the first few days, I would personally say letting them be in their cage and interacting with them by talking to them would be best, but considering their cage is likely extremely small, it's best to release them daily for a few hours (supervised, of course). Leave some spray millet close to you, not directly on you, and either only say something in the kind of voice you'd use for babies to them when they come over close to you to eat their treats, or completely ignore them until they look comfortable. Repeat and push the boundaries bit by bit. It's really all about trust, so learn to understand your birds' body language and vocal language and work as a team.

[@Urmomsagaydinosaur]

@@kayla-vn1yc My bird refuses to eat millet. I don't know why. She just seems scared of it. After an hour or two in her cage on the first day she was chirping and flying around. If I turn on budgie noises she loves that. I let her out of her cage yesterday for about 4 hours but it took another hour to get her back in her cage. She finally landed on a perch and we had enough time to put her back in the cage. She steps up onto my finger and I want to reward her but she is afraid of the millet.

I've only know one other budgie as calm as Violet and that was my Frenchie who was also a sky blue budgie. His backstory was he was bought from a general store way back when. Apparently he used to escape his enclosure which house other budgies and would be loose for a couple days at a time ( they did leave food and water out for him). When I saw him at the store he was the only one in the group that would come to the glass side to be near people. I knew right then that he was the one and he proved to be a very well behaved and tame bird.

im sitting on my bed and my new budgies i got yesterday are eating out my hand!! thanks soo much for this vid Elle

[@violet-zx4hw]

I really want a bird, but this video really shows how patient you have to be. I’m gonna have to try really hard to be patient while taming/training 😅

[@anonymousperson4547]

Wow! This was super helpful! I just bought an extremely skittish (and untamed) adult parakeet that will frantically try to fly away when I slightly move my hand. Going to try these tips and hopefully build trust :)

[@jacemu_]

I am soon getting a green cheek conure! I have done almost all the research possible, and watched almost all ur videos!

[@soniinnagel9383]

I just got two new baby budgies that were handled by the breeder and are so chill! I am so excited to bond with them. Today they came out and stepped up and enjoyed budgie sounds on youtube and finally are eating. Thanks for your helpful video. My cockatiel of 13 years is happy to have chatter!

[@wyomingadventures]

Congratulations on getting Violet! I love when you do these videos about birds. Especially budgies. I think they are misunderstood birds. This is how I tamed my budgies. At least Rocky. Tico is still a bit harder but getting better. By the way Tico is never getting clipped again. Flying is so awesome for them. Rocky had scissor beak once. Easy fix for her. Love your flock!❤💙🐦🥰

[@ElleAndTheBirds]

Thank you so much!! I totally agree, budgies are misunderstood. They’re full of love just like any other bird! I’m so happy that your birds get to enjoy flying! Thank you for being an awesome bird mom ❤️🦜

[@charlizecramer2488]

This video is incredibly helpful! I think you structured the information in this video perfectly and I felt like every single piece of information that you gave was meaningful and important.There was never a time when I felt like you were not giving me info that I needed. I also really enjoyed that you explained that for example, if a bird was flying around it's cage, it is scared but since yours was still it was calm. You really did a great job at explaining both sides to the situation, if that makes sense. You made this video universal so that it could help people with a lot of situations. Great job and thanks for the help.

I would love a big bird, but they’re so demanding and I’m still in school. I wouldn’t be able to give one the constant attention they need. Thank you!

Live Laugh Birds Hi 👋🏻 i have a question how do you run ads on your youtube videos? And can you start running ads at 1000 subscribers?

[@ElleAndTheBirds]

@Abi’s Animals 1000 subscribers and 4,000 watch hours (240,000 minutes). Omg congrats on 1k!!

[@cocomo.313]

Can you make a video about how outfit your cockatiels cage so they don’t get bored while your at school? I’m looking into getting some but I want to know how to make sure their cages are properly equipped.

[@mauihavik]

Nice! I’m a vlogger myself and I just got a new cockatiel (has to make it a vlog lol) but he isn’t tamed and likes to bite. My first cockatiel is super sweet and very well tamed. But I gotta figure out how to tame this little guy. Thanks for the tips and I’ll be vlogging some of the progress. Thanks!

[@michaelllewellyn525]

THANKS Elle - YOU are an EXCELLENT Teacher!

[@Alex-xu5sv]

I am really appreciative of your videos. Especially the recommendations to use the millet spray to encourage them. My new rose ringed parakeet is so scared of hands and this has helped our training so much! Thank you!!

[@CampElias]

This video was so helpful my bird is now stepping up consistently he was really nervous at first but then after this video was over he was perfectly fine and would step up all the time I have two cockatiels and one of them is super calm and flight trained the other one is a little bit less tamed but he is still an amazing bird he is sitting right next to me right now

[@phillcotterill6264]

Thank you from the UK for making this and all the other video's you have made. We just got a 6YO pair of galahs which have not really been hand rearer or even let out of the cage very much we ink so your knowledge of your subject is astounding and has been really helpful. And the thing i really like about your vids is the fact that you get straight into the subject without waffling on about non related stuff. The delivery is very professional too so i hope your either going to be a vet or a journalist. Anyhow thanks again from all of us just starting out with these lovely cteatures. Best wished from Phill and Ana in the UK

I just applied for my first job so I can save up for a green cheek. I’ve waited one for so long.

[@amirations7730]

im looking forward for a companion (Ok i might be a freak for liking loud animals and loving animals that bite) . im looking for a companion that: •Screams EVERY time •wants attention 24/7 •steals your food •does bite •requires a lot if patience (so that i can spend more extra time with that animal.) •real messy (So that i can clean my house more) •that will make me have no vacation Do you think i should get a bird? i mean i did research for 7 months about birds only.

[@seemakhadka8139]

Its been so many months since I've had my cockatiel, she hasn't bonded with me and to be honest I haven't put to much effort. I'm going to now start over thank you so much!

[@echo3349]

I have a cockatiel named Jupiter and she hates me because she is scared of course and all I have been doing is staying in the same room as her for a couple of days and I’m so glad I found this video because I wanted to find something that could help her bond to me and I’m hoping this works for her

[@unnatimishra2669]

Elle, my bird won't step up on a perch or my finger. He can eat from my hand, but when I put the treat in front of my finger/perch he just tries stretching his neck to reach for the treat. If I can't reach it he just nibbles on the finger/perch. Is there a reason behind this ? Do I just need patience ? I approached you because you seem skilled. I love all your videos and watch them for bird motivation. Thank you for making the videos 🙂

[@Royal.Angel.]

Try to get him more used to your hand by just resting your hand in the cage, dont move it. Just rest it. Do this for about 10 minutes a day until the bird approaches your hand On their own. Dont try to touch it. Keep doing the 10 minute exercise for a few more days. Then when the bird approaches your hand with your pointer slowly try to pet their chest. Dont move the rest of your hand. Sudden moves scare the birds. Just take your time until the bird isnt scared of you

[@unnatimishra2669]

He comes on my finger now ! Thanks for the advice

[@Royal.Angel.]

@@unnatimishra2669 okay!!! Have fun with your birb

[@no-uc9bk]

Patience is the key! I tried bribing them on with millet, and one of them was a bit more forward so they hopped on and soon the other saw what they were doing and hopped on aswell. At first mine was nibbling on the perch aswell but soon after she got the idea.

[@Royal.Angel.]
