poor yellow bird

I am not understanding this if you are training 1 bird why have the other bird in there? also what is the point of the lovie going through the tunnel? I do not understand this training at all.

[BirdRescuer]

Coo, but i think that you should try other tricks, 0.0 lie circles, going threw the hoop, basketball, saiing hi, or something..... o.o

[BrokenDreamer]

What kind of treats do you feed them?

I'm very intrested in this, because I currently have a peached faced, female, lovebird who I would liek to train :)

[renney100]

me too

[gostflame380]

what do you feed them? i feed my love bird treats with sunflower seeds. by the way how to you get a clicker?

[MetalHeadDie]

the treat is millet spray

[morris2286]

whassat thing you attached to the bird cage? it looks like somthing for hamsters

[Ookani]

This is very insightful, I didn't realize that birds could be trained like this! You might want to consider not training one bird and not the other, the other one looks so very disappointed! =)

[Argusia]

LOL, he knows that as soon as you click, he has to run for a treat. :)

[scubaduck]

That's exactly the point of a "bridge" in animal training-- to mark a point in time when the behavior is complete. After that, the animal knows it's done and a treat is coming for certain. If you don't see this anticipation, the clicker (or other bridge) hasn't been used correctly.

[AaseLange]

Cool. Good job!

[twinksandbabes]

may i ask you, where did you get that adorable blue bird?

[budgiebird12]

Would millet work to train a bird?

[MetalHeadDie]

yeah millet is a great treat for that

[vampiricconure]

LOL! I'm amused! I'm clicker training my cockatiel...can you believe she's being trained to be a service bird? Two years of fun, here I come!

This video is amazing, thank you! I just started training recently with my budgies, and they reacted to the clicker in your video!

Clickers are available at pet stores, usually in the dog section. The book I use, clicker training for birds by Ann Castro, came with a clicker and a target stick.

Maybe I'll try the lazer pointer next.... looks like fun!

[MIracLE1626]

while i was watching them my ones(lovebirds) were getting crazy:D this animals so cute.....

[kairi292]

[Emppumiilia]

Oh yay thank you! :D

I got two lovebirds too and well their very untame and ive had them for 1½ year now. I wonder where I could get a clicker like that, I think my brother has a lazer pen tho. You just totally got me motivated to start training them. Thanks! :D <3 Emppu

May i ask you what you feed your lovebirds in the video when you want to congratulate them?

[scubaduck]

These were halfed hulled sunflower seeds. Whole ones or those with shells would increase the time the bird spends eating, slowing the training process. Of course never use the salted human-snack type. Depending on the diet preferences of your bird, the sunflower seed may or may not work; you might try red pepper seed, crushed peanut, broccoli floret etc.

That's a wonderful demonstration of clicker training! Unique that you used the laser pointer! I look forward to future training sessions! And thank you for your comments on our c/t video (Building Trust With Your Bird - One Click At A Time!)
