Training your Birds or Parrots takes some time and patients. I had two Quaker parrots that I rescued, and when I brought them home all they did was scream and bite, at first I thought it was because they were in new surroundings and all new people. The noisy behavior kept up, so I started to ask people who had experience with birds and Parrots training, how I could remedy their actions and noise.

Training your Birds or Parrots takes some time and patients. I had two Quaker parrots that I rescued, and when I brought them home all they did was scream and bite, at first I thought it was because they were in new surroundings and all new people.

The noisy behavior kept up, so I started to ask people who had experience with birds and Parrots training, how I could remedy their actions and noise.

I approached the parrots and spoke in a low tone and gently put my finger below the perch and encouraged the Quaker parrot to sit on my finger.

This took about three weeks, until the parrots trusted me.

Two months had gone by and I was able to pet the Parrots heads and pick them up. It was such a relief to stop their noisy behavior.

They have great Web sites out there on line with videos and training lessons to make life enjoyable for you and your Pet birds and Parrots, some are free, others you have to purchase, but it is worth it.

My daughters African Grey Parrot would destroy all of his toys and chew the walls near where his cage was located, she moved his cage to a different location and is still trying to work with him.

My Daughters African Grey prefers men over women, he is a rescue, and she calls him Reggie,he makes a high pitch sound which is ear piercing.

My daughter is trying to spend more time with him and pay more attention to his needs which is important when training your Birds.

There are rules that you must follow when training your pet Bird and Parrots, one never put your hand above the birds head because they may see this as a, pet, threat and Bite or attack you, approach your Bird calmly and speak in a soft voice,watch for signs that the parrot or bird is becoming uncomfortable by his head gestures.

You should never hit or yell at the Birds this just upsets them more and makes your training sessions useless. It takes a lot of patience and understanding, and most important, knowledge in training your Birds.

If you are afraid at first to train your Birds to go on your finger, use a stick or perch and gently nudge them onto it. It takes time and once the Parrots or Birds trust you,try the same movement with your finger. You will be so happy once you and your pet have completed a bond with each other and the Family for all to enjoy.

Happy Training.
