Training the CUTEST Lovebird | Albert The Lovebird

[@EmMa-hg3ql]

Aaargh!! It’s Albert!!! I was up at 3am Aussie time watching this so excited!! Happy to report that Albert is getting stuck into his chop, he has it for two meals a day even though it’s mostly flung all over the room, stuck to his beak and then wiped all over me I’m sure some must be going in! (His daily weight is very stable) I’m also offering the millet much higher so his lunging behaviour has stopped, we’ve also trained him to go back into his cage with clicker training and rewards. I can’t tell you how much difference that’s made to all of us especially now that he’s not a baby anymore and really getting his own mind! Seeing this again has really inspired us to start getting proper training “sessions” going again... I’m sure Albert is convinced that his slaves have been slacking off...

[@l.beukema8570]

What a lovely little bird. Even his naughty-ness is cute :D!

[@judithweymark8643]

Thanks for allowing us to watch this training session and share in the learning. Albert is so cute, it's amazing you don't go " Ohhhh, never mind the trick sweetie, just have the treat anyway"

[@Spatzenzunge]

He is the CUTEEEEST! ❤️

[@EmMa-hg3ql]

judith weymark it’s always so tempting!! I was on my best behaviour for Dave and Jamie, I only accidentally give them to him now when he tricks me... slowly becoming less and less as I catch on to him! So speedy....

[@Trth1707]

It’s so true, little parrots are just as trainable as the bigger parrots, but they are fast, you really have to watch body language. Albert is a fantastic little bird, great partnership.

[@Ansonidak]

Budgies are a challenge but mine are quite eager to work for treats.

[@tom4005]

I've had great succes training my parrotlets

[@mondraymondo]

Yes often we lovebird keepers get bit before managed to read their body language :'( we also cannot see them pupil dilating since their eyes are dot black. Doing my best with mine tho hehe

[@bkm2797]

To be honest, I didn't think you could train a love bird, but this little one seems eager to learn. Always happy to see the human parents love their little feathered child to get the best training. Thank you!

[@tzxazrael]

you can train all your parrots... and pretty much any other animal too, as long as you find out what motivates them. i mean, obviously, you need to pick tricks that the animal can do and understand, but it's certainly possible.

[@bkm2797]

tzxazrael, I'm beginning to agree with your statement, and having Jamie&Dave from birdtricks, makes it a much smoother journey.

[@kiandrut]

Any parrot can be trained. For lovebirds if you want them to be more trained i suggest you raise the baby, because if it's too old you can't tame it anymore (i mean you can but it'll be so hard). :)

[@Pabxie]

Yay small birds! ♡

[@paolasview]

I have two lovebirds myself! I have a hard time training them and this is actually the first video where one gets trained. This video is really helpful to me! Thanksss!

A Lovebird!! My favorite!! These little guys are so overlooked in the parrot world as pets. Thanks for posting this class so we could see this cutie and get some tips on training as well. 😊

Lovebirds are the prettiest parrots, often overlooked coz it's size and cost. It's aesthetically perfect.

[@jeanneokerlund9943]

Another smal bird! Dave and Jamieleigh make it look so easy! I like the tip to give the treat from above.

[@kellyharney2385]

I have to interject that having a small bird as a class pet was the best decision I EVER made in teaching. My budgie would ask every single morning “wanna go to school?!?” and LOVED the kids attention. The kids also learned respect for animals and I have hundreds of letters from parents and kids about how our budgie was the highlight of the year. He was kept out of reach in his cage until he was let out, in a very controlled environment. I’d never want a pet I had to leave alone 8 hours a day - they so badly want to be with their crew. I hope schools read up on how positive a class pet is for children’s emotions.

[@Ansonidak]

This channel has been very helpful with my 7 year old green cheek conure adoptee. I've managed to avoid many mistakes and I now have a very happy obedient bird.

[@britageronilla7843]

Birdtricks methods work well for lovebirds! Lovebirds are incredibly smart and learn quickly, but yes, they move fast, and you have to be quick to click at the right time. Using their methods, I have trained 8 lovebirds over the last 7 years to target, step up, step off, fly to me, fly to a perch, allow me to touch their heads, wave, and give kisses. I have captured scratching, puffing up, yawning, and wing stretching. One lovebird, I trained to ring a bell with his foot, another, I trained to pick up a Kinderjoy ball and put it in a Kinderjoy basketball hoop. The treats: a small pinch of white millet or canary seed, or a small piece of pine nut/walnut (to introduce these, the nut size has to be similar to the size of a white millet seed).

[@sophiethehuman4469]

Clicker training is great with all animals but I have found its especially effective in smaller birds 😊

[@alisalavine1052]

I can relate to this woman! My lovebird is 4 months old and he's so fast! The tip about offering the treat is really helpful. Johari does the same thing where he will step onto the treat. I'm going to try holding his reward higher up from now on. More of these small bird training sessions, please!!!

[@gergs988]

This was super helpful. I’m quite stuck training my lovebird at the moment, and since she’s my first lovebird I don’t have prior knowledge of the species. One of the worst things too which I wasn’t aware of before I got her is that it is so, so hard to find training resources online that tailor to lovebirds. It’s either budgies, or big parrots. 😕 thank you for this little snippet, it’s been very helpful. If you ever train more lovebirds in the future please share some tips on your channel, I’m sure many people would be very grateful for the help!

[@friedaschnell6887]

SO very CUTE!! Sending this to a friend that had lovebirds.

[@chrysokami]

I love this!!

[@sandraraituma]

That birdie is so cute! And also - proof that you can and should train small birds too, not just the big/medium ones. Is it just because they are a type of parrot? I can't imagine training a sparrow like that for example. I suppose there are behaviors that you can train to absolutely anybody with a brain, but not this "easy" maybe. P.S. I just love how at 12:43 it says "Albert's humans", not owners :) :)

[@NeIIy]

I'm pretty sure you can teach finches. People manage to target train giant lizards. Even train them to hunt for their human. Birds are smarter than reptiles in general. I'm pretty sure that statement that you can train anything with a brain is correct!

[@iriolexisbierle6697]

You would most likely teach something like a sparrow to target with a different part of their body (such as a foot) since they have such little beaks. Even fish learn targeting, spinning, jumping through hoops.

[@britageronilla7843]

I target trained my red eared slider (found in the garden), but it took him 2 months to figure it out, versus a minute or so with the 8 lovebirds I have trained.

I have this exact lovebird coloring. A darker factor peach face and "Baby" has that same personality, he wants to go to everyone and love everything. He also insists on being friends with my whole flock. From my conure to my macaw. He kind of adopted my macaw as his doll at this point 😂

[@Shaee]

I’ve wanted to see a love bird video for so long! I’m so happy it’s finally happened 😂 My love bird gives me all kinds of trouble during training. He’s my Velcro bird.. can’t turn/ walk away from him without him flying as fast as he can to me.. I watched the conure video and I’m trying to apply those training techniques.

At this stage, with him being so bitey, he just flies to the hand that has the treats and tries to bite hard, trying to get it. -.- I'm going to assume it's because he's a toddler...

[@ashleyteasdale5897]

@@BirdTricks I would love to see someone bring you two budgies! Mine have been such a challenge to train, I think because their flock instinct is so strong, and they basically have ADHD and can't stay still. I know it would be better to train one at a time, but I live in an open concept loft and they can see each other at all times. On the bright side broccoli florets are their level 10 treat. Thanks for sharing this, Albert is so cute, his little sound effect when he flies to someone is almost like his own clicker.
