Target/Clicker Training your Bird

[areopostale5]

Can you make a video about teaching your bird tricks like wave, turn around or fetch?

I love birds!! There so cute,colorful,funny smart and sweet.

Is clicker training better or more affective ,I had a Quaker once but hes dead now .He was great he learned fast. .I trained him without clicker?So I just wanted to ask ok .....R.I.P Zazu!!!

@Fancifulgoddessanime In my opinion, the clicker has been VERY affective! I don't know if it's MORE affective than not using it, I'm trying to figure that out!

Im sorry about your Quaker. Bird do leanr fast, don't they! lol

I also wanted to say that you can click your tongue loudly to make a the sound and that works too and you don't have to use a clicker. I learned that from a training video for birds.

@firestar72 That is true, and I stated that in the video! ;)

I did it a little diffrent... I like Clicked and gave him a treat for a couple of days (i have a parakeet named kuzco) and he seemed to understand that a click ment treat now im just trying to get him to touch the stick lol any ideas on how to get him to do it?

[BilboMisty]

If he isn"t scared of it, then have him bite it at first, and he might get the concept...or another way is each time he gets CLOSER to the target, click and treat.

HAVE FUN!

and he also bites when i try 2 stick my hand in there and most of the times when i walk away he goes crazy and starts making loud noises thanks heaps

[BilboMisty]

Has something, ANYTHING changed in his environment? Did someone accidentally hit him, that you know of? Does he take treats still? Well, I hope things get better.

hey how u going? my bird looks 100% like yours iv had it for about 1 month now it use 2 be my friends it use 2 say i love u and all this stuff but now iv had it for a month at my place and it hasnt said a word, its really scared to come on my hand it hides under a lil stick that he has in the cage i tried your clicking method and it wouldnt work iv tried it for over a week 1 hour each day his just 2 scared what should i do?

[LJtricks]

im using a pen as a clicker . is that ok?

[BilboMisty]

That is fine! Anything that makes a sound the bird isn't used to, will be perfect.

[12345Matt54321]

Your bird is smarter then mine lol

[BilboMisty]

Nah...all birds are smart! You just gotta do it at their pace, and with their fave treat, and you should be ok!

[12345Matt54321]

I did this last night and he totally ignored me lol Ill keep it up though. I probably need more conditioning with a clicker.

I dont think he fully realizes a click means treat.

[tuneneboricua]

this is great training, i just adopted a senegal parrot, shes amazing, where could i get one of those clickers?

[BilboMisty]

Petco, PetSmart, or any training stores. And thanks for the compliment!
