[Lesie1998]

How did you get him to do that???

[imfunnytoo123]

I'm thinking about clicker training my budgie but I have two dogs tht r clicker trained and whenever I click it they run up to me. Any tips? Oh btw so cute!!!

[jollyjanecandies]

what a lively budgie ^- ^

[TauAunva]

is the thing in your hand a treat dispenser or do you just click it then give duke a treat?

[IAteTheMoldyCheese]

@TauAunva It is a clicker. They are often used for training with birds and dogs. If you click, it means they have done something right.

[kallyflyer1]

How can you tell your bird that a clciker ment that they did a good thing? And my budgie is not going to my stick thing.

[Linaeth]

@kallyflyer1

You condition the bird to the clicker by just randomly clicking it and immediately giving the bird a treat over and over until they realize that click=treat. My birds will now make the clicker noise at me as a sign they want to play (train).

[MaryJamel]

your mean dum bitch

[AKAperfectify]

i want to name my 2 parakeets Kili and Duke :3

[danymartinez11]

how did you tough them that

[MissCracker14]

aww hes so cute. Nice training, do you have any tips for me, I am trying trying to train my 8yo female budgie, she is very wild bites and is stubborn, she can't fly (never learnt how and now has arthritis.) I taught her step up and can almost touch her on the head but she freaks out around people, but she is mostly calm with me, oh and I got her to eat out of my hand. How do I gain her trust even more? She warmed up to me a bit more than anyone else but she still is as tame as i would like?

[bratzkidzrulz]

Duke seems so hyper but he's cute

[gr2000100]

are you using a coin

[dalsch]

Love it, great job. My budgie/parakeets are so hyper - they my 'crack babies'. I'm going to try your tips though. Thanks for sharing.

[1234birdlover]

@ponwend

[Ibanezguitarist14]

hi i have a parakeet and im clicker traning him i was wondering how u got him to fetch those items...i want to try it with my bird :)

[mzstormchaseruk]

can I ask some advice please ... what are u feeding him when u do the clicker ?? the seeds I have are way to small the spray millet falls apart in my hand ... I need sonething solid which I can hold and small enough for him 2 eat .. the petshop didn't have any ideas to suggest.

[mzstormchaseruk]

ignore my question I have just seen u say what u were using

[MsHorselover8]

you can give them nutriberries or sunflower seeds

[mzstormchaseruk]

@MsHorselover8 thanks I'll try that :)

[Mike2k345]

How you teach a parakeet to do tricks? All my parakeets wanna do is go back in the cage with his friend.

[bmxng33]

@Mike2k345

Cuz if u hve more than 1 parakeet, they will get more friendly with the other parakeets, but if u only hve 1, they will be more joined to u

[teesha123]

*nods* I mean drinkmilk101 could try using some more treats. what are they offering, yucky food or yummy food. And healthy is good too. Try nuts or carrot, or apple, banana. See what your bird likes. Toast even! Plus some birds will do tricks just for a pat, so find your birds motivation. mine personally prefers food to pats even though he does love pats! Keep training sessions no longer then 10 mins and always end on a positive note too.

[Onadragonfly]

What kind of treat are you using? It looks small, almost like an ear of corn.

[Ohyewildthong]

I think it's a piece of millet

[drinkmilk101]

sweet! do you have any tips to make a budgie eat a treat b/c mine doesnt take anything and after i totally train than i leave some lettuce and he eats it several hours later...do you know if theres any way i can make him eat a treat right when he does a trick? Thanks!

[kiliparrot]

Don't let it eat anything for 3-6 hours before training and use millet spray as a treat. Lettuce has no nutritional value to a bird.

[drinkmilk101]

ok thanks!

[teesha123]

Birds have pretty short metabolisms, they sleep for 12 hours too, i don't recommend starving it. Try eating things in front of it and letting it try the healthy food (not avo) and when you find something it likes it should eat it when you place it in front of it. keep trying, but sometimes some birds just will be too shy.

[xMzKikix]

@kiliparrot thanks b/c i was feeding my bird its regular seeds and i wouldnt take it after a trick it would go into his mouth but the it fell to the ground! so thanks!!!

[Linaeth]

@kiliparrot

Actually, lettuces other than iceberg are very good nutritionally, and mine readily accept it as a training treat, though nothing beats that darn millet.

[Maanleentjh]

amazing ;)

i have three of that kind and i don't think i can teach them anything :p
