Taming an Aggressive Lovebird - Bryan's Angels Video Series

[meatmeister]

how did you tame him ? my lovebird hates all of my treats and hides in a corner every time i open s the cadge...

[fadstar14]

@meatmeister hahahaha thats like my bird! he has a little green bowl in the corner of his cage that he eats from and one time he camoflaged himself in it when i tried to feed him fruit xD

[CLloyd310]

My lovebird was really sweet and well trained until she hit "bird puberty"... now she won't let anyone near her without VERY aggresively biting them HARD.

Is there anything I can do to get her back to where she was before?

[brownsa9577]

@CLloyd310 hang in there and keep trying. your bird has not forgotten what it has learned. 

[TheSubazz]

How did you tame your bird :).. ? i have two and am trying really hard, but the thing is i can't seem to find anything that they eagerly want to eat and work for.. seeds are the only thing and having them starve and work for food seems cruel. do you have any link on how to train parrots?

[biggybunz]

these things have a nasty bite

[pelucitadered]

wow! you do a GOOD job in training and it shows you know how to.

[Speddydino]

[peter613807]

[DaaaBears24]

this isnt taming......what kind of video is this...all it shows is the bird turning around, cool trick but nothing to do with taming. Waste of time

[HariVIyer]

you shouldn't clip the wings...it's so cruel

[humza6951]

What do u feed your bird

[mexicanbirdlady]

t-stand is too wide for his feet,poor little baby,he needs one more thin,so he can perch more secure,is adorable,me encanta ,pero me da pena verlo como batalla para sostenerse,pobrecito,es tan bello.

[darkiller177]

This dosnt ahow how to tame an aggressive lovebird. Its hard to do that when you lovebird trys to attack your hand.

[digifan98]

The title implies that it does but it doesn't

[digifan98]

This doesn't even help taming a bird whatsoever! The t

[actormescott]

this is of no help in taming a biting, aggressive lovebird. That's what the title implies, and that's what I need help with. this is of no help

[theHardcoreChaos]

i really dont get it. my agaponis constantly flies away if i move my hand to him.

if i stand next to him it doest matter but when i try to use "step up" he just ignores it and flies away.

i let him fly in my room i think thats good for him,

he also have a Big cage but when im in the room he can get out.

do you have any tips for me to make him tame?

thank you

Robin

[happysmileyface99]

@theHardcoreChaos A lot of people don't agree with this, but you might have to clip his wings. By the time they grow back, maybe he'll be tame enough to wanna stay on your hand?? Also maybe if he likes millet walk up to him slowly, with the millet in your hand and let him see it clearly. then offer it to him that might help. IDK sorry i don't think my advice is good, but I definitely gave it a shot!

[theHardcoreChaos]

@happysmileyface99 Thank you very much for your advise!

i already did the feeding trick so he can trust me better, that's fine for my bird but when i put my finger against hes claws he will be scared and fly away.

But, Thanks for your adivse :)

Robin

[ambarawio]

[Piggy88]

what is it your feeding it?

[tamaramacrae1990]

Hey I am babysitting a lovebird starting on Wednesday for a week or so and apparently she bites when you put your finger near her to step up. I was wondering if you could give me some tips as I am very determined to have her step up nicely before her owner gets her back

[theHardcoreChaos]

what are you feeding him?

[trendystar11]

this is soooo not taming guy this is training



[Reptiledictionary225]

I'm going to get a love bird for my mom but she wants birds to be able to fly so I will build a 5x5x3 cage with screening. I was wondering if I need two lovbirds given the name and if metal screening is safe for them. Also what would the requirements be? I heard I need lots of toys and swings but I'm not a bird enthusiast I'm a reptile person

[bellalmylbird]

my lovebird wornt let me touch on hes heat but i can get him on my finger, plz help!!!

[favutube]

did you make a "before/after" video ?

[proviewsg]

The video is taken after the 10days of hand-taming and parrot training.

[kityin17]

hahaa,looks like the bar is alittle too big for the little fid's feet to have a good grip ;)

[proviewsg]

Yes it's big, because the T-stand was meant for my conure. Will love to get one fitting T-stand for the lovebird, but sad to say I was only parrot-sitting the lovebird for 10 days. Just a short stay at our place =)

[warboop]

well done .Yes training now every other time take the food away and see if he/she still does it .The you can take the food away all the way .lol

[kiliparrot]

This isn't taming. This is training. Taming I would consider to be learned behavior that does not require the animal to exert energy. Allowing itself to be grabbed for instance is a matter of taming. It merely has to NOT resist rather than make an effort to make something happen. I consider a trick to be a natural or unnatural behavior that has an unnatural stimulus that consistently triggers the behavior. You trained the parrot some tricks which is great. No point in underrating it as taming.

[proviewsg]

Hi Mike, thanks for clarifying the difference btw Taming and Training. Really appreciate that you shared it over here. First, I guess I had to apologize about the misleading title. Probably I shld have provided more description earlier. This video actually clearly show that the lovebird (Teri) being able to be handled and even perform simple trick. It was all possible after 10-days of hand-taming and parrot training him. Do click on the link to read more abt the story.

[megangatita]

This is excellent!! 5*!! Awesome bird and training!!!

[proviewsg]

Thanks. Hope you've enjoyed this short clip!

[birdbrainz2]

Didn't you say He/She was aggressive? He didn't look very aggressive to me. I tried to tame a lovebird with very little success.

[proviewsg]

He used to, but this video is the end result of the transformation of Teri, after undergoing series positive approaches and trainings.
