The first time you buy parrot, you might think that it is cool for having pet
parrot. It makes you feel like pirates with talking parrot. However everything
seem goes so wrong, your parrot scream when you get near the cage, he bite you
when you try to touch him. This article will offer you tips on how to train
parrot, whether you are trying to train your new parrot or existing parrot.
A trained parrot is capable in doing Tricks .
Unlike training other pets such as dogs or
cats, train parrot is completely different. Parrot don't like a long training
session, make it short but frequent. It is better to have two or three 10
minutes session per day compared to 1 single hour session. When you start the
training session, only one person should work with the parrot for the best
result. Parrot will be easily nervous and distracted if there are more than 1
people around.
There are few tips that might help you train your parrot.
First, you should have its wings clipped, conduct the training session during a
quite time with subdued lighting. Speak slowly and be gentle, try to win his
trust by treating it good. They loved to be touched and praised. Parrot has a
natural ability to imitate speech and sound. So whenever you are training your
parrot, talk or even sing to him. The more you talk the more quickly it will
learn to talk. Start with a simple word such as Hello. Give your parrot a simple
name such as Peter, and whenever you talk with him, use his name.
Some
parrots learn quickly, others might take some time to get it. Be patient and
consistent, train parrot when you are calm and well rested. One way to make him
learn faster is by rewarding him. The reward can be food or a gentle touch on
head or belly. Your reward should be unique from normal habits, so that your
parrot can differentiate normal behavior and reward-earning behavior and always
consistent with the reward so that the parrot can correlate your reward with the
action performed by him.
