@ MrDavis007: I started training my budgies when I was about 10 and if I couldn't get them to stay on my hand at all I would start out hand training them in the cage. Get them used to your touch and presence and give them treats so they know they should like you. Once you can get them to stay on your hand for a few minutes then you can try taking them out. Just stay patient with them and they will love you a lot later.
My Cockatoo came potty trained to me at a mere 5 months old. My smaller Senegal parrot was the easiest bird on earth to potty train... If you think a potty trained parrot is special, you're a bit retarded.
I miss my blue and gold "charlie" He also was potty trained. I would take him out of his room (cage) and take him to his T-stand before playing to potty. He would say all the commands himself. Step up, go potty. It was so easy to take him into stores etc. because he would go on command even if resting on my arm.
12shamber: Macaws can be good pets if you understand their needs and requirements and can give them the daily attention they require. However, with any parrot I suggest you read up as much as you can, and meet with bird owners to experience them first. A large parrot like a macaw should probably not be your first parrot. Over the years I've had parakeets, love birds, Melle Amazon, another BG Macaw. Reputable breeders usually sell macaw babies for $2000.00. Be sure to do your research first. :-)
and its name is meeko, but its only likes my dad. meeko is not really nice to people but he hates women. when my mom or sister walks by the cage he bites and jumps at the cage. he bites me too.
but if there any way of me trying to hold meeko and training him to like me also?
Well now I have some hope that it IS possible to potty train a parrot. I love my cockatiel and he loves me and walks all over me all day long, but the poops are ruining all my shirts!
Sooooo cute, i got 9 parrots ( 2 macaos (One like Rachel and the other one red), eclectus (the couple), 3 normal parrots (the green ones), the african parrot, and a white lil cockatoo), and thats the problem they go pooping around the house, i do really want to know how to make them do that so it save us tons of work.
my Quaker is just naturally potty trained. (or close to it.) If he needs to poop when he's on my should, he tells me and we go to his cage and he poops there. Rarely has he ever pooped on my shoulder.
Sugga - some people are so bonded to their birds, they
a) Need not worry about being bitten, as they understand their bird's body language enough to avoid it
b) Understand that biting is not a natural social behavior and is developed in captivity, as the birds learn biting is rewarded by attention (even negative attention) - a parrot will only bite as a last resort
c) have been bitten before, and understand it happens when we are not responsive enough to their body language.
Thats very cute and very cool! Be carefull though, as parrots will try so hard to please you that they will hold it in until you tell them and reward them which can cause serious problems.
This is completely true. You have to be careful. There is a specific breed of bird that holds it and they can actually die because they'll hold it all day.
my brothers quaker gets quite too. he barks like my dog and it sounds almost exactly like her but whenever i try to get it on tape he stands still and wont make a noise
HA! My African Grey is silent with the camera on too, then its off and she's all "blah blah blah" too. You know... with actual words other than "blah," but she says "blah" too. ^_^
Boy, that must make your life a lot easier! Do you know if you can do this with budgies? I don't have any right now, but ever since I heard about the whole potty-training parrots thing, I've been wondering if I would've been able to train the budgies I've owned in the past like this. It would've cut the cleaning process by more than a half! XD
I've heard that it's usually not worth trying to potty train a budgie or any of the really small parrots. Their small size causes them to poop really frequently, like every 10-15 minutes so they would basically be stuck at where ever they were trained to poop and would be a lot of effort for both of you. I think potty training the larger parrots is awesome though since they do it less frequently.
From human prespective its nice to have a potty trained bird. However most trainers & vets do not recommend to potty train your bird. Parrots are masters in pleasing their owner with their behaviour. In other words they may try to poop to get your attention which can cause serious damange to their intestinals & cloaca. Better is to read your tame birds body language and put them on a playtop / playtree when they have to "go".
Lol good job.I taught my african grey that when he was about six month old and he cought on real quick.He flies back to his stand when he has to make poop and pee lmao.
Yeah that's great, even though your bird is really cute it's not the only potty trained bird. My scarlet macaw is also potty trained and he goes in the toilet. He tells he has to go by yelling "Go caca!", then after he's done he says "Yeah!"
there are many methods - as you can see all birds have a different way. My bird does her 'shakey head dance' if some one is holding her. let go she flys back to one of her cages/ play areas and tahdah.
They go about every 15-25 minutes so it is easy if you spend enough time with them.
praise, treats coke/keywords...try them all ..some use the clicker method to train birds. I am looking into that for other training.
My Congo Grey nibbles on my ear when she has to go. I do the same thing though, I put her on her perch and she does her thing. When I trained her I always said "POOP" like Beavis so now when she goes she has to say "POOP...heh heh heh heh....POOP"! She's a scream, love my Smokey Bird!
And what a title she has! :D My rainbow lorikeets poops on command- but she doesn't seek my attention when she needs to go- how do you teach that? I think it may be harder with a parrot with liquid poop that 'goes' every ten minutes!
It only took a couple of days for my 1 yr old goffin to poop on command. Love that Rachel waves to tell you when she has to go. I just watch the time. I've got my parrot to wait for up to 1 hour to poop depending on activity at which time I take Shmoo to his cage and say "poop". I think I'll try to teach him to tell me when he had to go from now on! Great idea for my next video!
Average prices in the US range from $1000 to $2000 for hand-fed raised parrots. I got her for much less than that due to the circumstances of the previous family.
my Quaker Petrie poops on command, and if he needs to go and I haven't asked him lately, he makes this little "tiff-tiff" sound, and I bring him to the trashcan before he goes.
Similar strategy with Rachel. She will either really quietly say "hello" in a cute little innocent way, or she will raise her foot awaiting to be moved. If we don't respond in time to her requests she'll go... So when you gotta go, you gotta go. LOL
My macaw is also potty trained. She will grunt and stop whatever she is doing. However, it's up to me to move fast. She only gives me about a 5-10 second warning.
BE CAREFUL (to other bird owners), make sure your bird goes on her schedule and not yours. Forcing them to go when they are not ready is very damaging to them. It's even worse if they are instructed to go ONLY on command. In this fatal situation their bowels become impacted.
This is good advice. Rachel luckily knows the places she is allowed to go and when she tries to get our attention and we can't act fast enough, accidents happen ;-)
Sorry. I just saw your question. Usually, the females have smaller nares and their heads are more egg shaped. I have 4 BG macaws in addition to my other birds. I have 2 DNA'd males and 2 DNA'd females. I am usually about 90% accurate on my sex guessing. I vote male.
Very Pretty Macaw. It's nice to see her so attached to you. I have a mini macaw and she is very attached to me. We love her very much and she talks alot too. We are kindda training her to potty at her cage to but we have to spend more time with her. She does poop on command though. We just have to have her poop like every 20 minutes.:)Ohh and you said your is 99% nice to new people, well ours attacks anyone she doesn't recognize.:)
My sun conure, Bo (he has a channel on youtube, Botheparrot) goes in the trash can next to his cage. These things should be on their schedule, not yours. "On Command" isn't a good thing.
The "on command" is like "will you go before we leave the house"... Or will you go BEFORE I transport you across the room instead of pooping mid-transport.
Knowledgable people I know (and books) recomend against going on command, as they might get to the point where they need you to tell them. With Bo, he knows when to go, and where to go. the only time he messes up is when I'm not listening when he tells me he has to go. I can trust him 100%. Amazing bird.
He won't go transporting him across the room unless it's MY fault.
There is some good advise in "Guide to a well behaved parrot", but Bo actually figured it out by himself. I'm sure I have reinforced the behavior. He's very good at it. See his video, "Bo's Best Trick" on my channel. Be sure to check out Botheparrot for more.
Nope. She likes us a both. But I have heard about birds having that problem. The thing is to never completely socialize the bird to one person. Get the bird used to having other people around and other people handle them. Rachel likes almost everyone. Every once and awhile she meets a particular person she just doesn't like. She must pick up on the aura or something. :-)
Nope. I wanted to make sure she socialized with other people to prevent this type of thing. Although every bird is different, common wisdom is that you want them to socialize with other people so that they do not become too hatched to just one person, and otherwise anti-social or aggressive to other people.
I do not know why but I love when you kiss each others...so sweet...you really love your pet.

My macaw is also potty trained. She will grunt and stop whatever she is doing. However, it's up to me to move fast. She only gives me about a 5-10 second warning.
BE CAREFUL (to other bird owners), make sure your bird goes on her schedule and not yours. Forcing them to go when they are not ready is very damaging to them. It's even worse if they are instructed to go ONLY on command. In this fatal situation their bowels become impacted.

This is good advice. Rachel luckily knows the places she is allowed to go and when she tries to get our attention and we can't act fast enough, accidents happen ;-)

Just a gorgeous bird however I think its a male. Is it DNA'd? I'm usually pretty accurate and have 4 BGs myself.

What makes you think that?

Sorry. I just saw your question. Usually, the females have smaller nares and their heads are more egg shaped. I have 4 BG macaws in addition to my other birds. I have 2 DNA'd males and 2 DNA'd females. I am usually about 90% accurate on my sex guessing. I vote male.

I have a cockatoo and when you point a finger at him, he squats down and poops... so, your bird is not the only one to do that.:)
my bird fetches a feather.. if you type "fetch a feather" you can see him and comment. thanks.

Very Pretty Macaw. It's nice to see her so attached to you. I have a mini macaw and she is very attached to me. We love her very much and she talks alot too. We are kindda training her to potty at her cage to but we have to spend more time with her. She does poop on command though. We just have to have her poop like every 20 minutes.:)Ohh and you said your is 99% nice to new people, well ours attacks anyone she doesn't recognize.:)

My sun conure, Bo (he has a channel on youtube, Botheparrot) goes in the trash can next to his cage. These things should be on their schedule, not yours. "On Command" isn't a good thing.

Do you have to tell everyone my personal info?
Botheparrot 4 years ago
Its ok Bo, as your publicist, he wants people to know of your talent. :-)

The "on command" is like "will you go before we leave the house"... Or will you go BEFORE I transport you across the room instead of pooping mid-transport.

Knowledgable people I know (and books) recomend against going on command, as they might get to the point where they need you to tell them. With Bo, he knows when to go, and where to go. the only time he messes up is when I'm not listening when he tells me he has to go. I can trust him 100%. Amazing bird.
He won't go transporting him across the room unless it's MY fault.

Did you figure out how to train him this way or follow a certain book?
Jnnburk 4 years ago
There is some good advise in "Guide to a well behaved parrot", but Bo actually figured it out by himself. I'm sure I have reinforced the behavior. He's very good at it. See his video, "Bo's Best Trick" on my channel. Be sure to check out Botheparrot for more.

Nope. She likes us a both. But I have heard about birds having that problem. The thing is to never completely socialize the bird to one person. Get the bird used to having other people around and other people handle them. Rachel likes almost everyone. Every once and awhile she meets a particular person she just doesn't like. She must pick up on the aura or something. :-)

cool. cheers for replying. now....make more videos damnit! ;D

Nope. I wanted to make sure she socialized with other people to prevent this type of thing. Although every bird is different, common wisdom is that you want them to socialize with other people so that they do not become too hatched to just one person, and otherwise anti-social or aggressive to other people.
