ive got Exact same bird 2 acctually i wish i could train them but there nurturing there eggs and only 1 was born btw how did you get him out of the cage for future reference
@Lillucy159 In this video, i think he was around a year old. It's definitely not too late to train your bird! She sounds like she'd pick up on it quickly since she seems to trust you!
man I wish mine was as attached your tiko. mine is not tamed yet. its so hard. tweety doesnt listen to a single thing i say and just sits still on her swing. Even no matter how nice i be and hove much food i use as bait it still doesnt come out. if i try to hold it with a towel, it flies around and if 1 catch it it starts to shiver and i become scared i may heart it or this could be making her see me as her enemy.
can you tell me where you get the props and also maybe some tips on how to teach my bird some tricks. She is still young maybe that's why she isn't overly responsive to the whole trick idea... let me know
i have a lovebird and at tyhe pet shop where we bought it the pet shop guy said it was a girl and last week we took her to the vet for a checkup and the vet told us it was a boy! we all felt bad because we had been saying he was a girl for so many years lol... i'm still not used to saying 'good boy' instead of 'good girl'! lol
i have a new lovebird named melon, hes starting to follow me and sit on my shoulder but when i try to pet him he always bites me. he nibbles on my face but he bites my fingers! when did your lovebird start to let you pet him?
YOU CAN TEACH HIM TO ROLL OVER,,PLAY DIED,,DANCE,,STAY STILL FOR 10 SEC,,OPEN THE CAGE BY HIM SELF,,GO BACK TO HIS CAGE BY HIM SELF...By the way he's so cute plz tell me who the guy on youtube is whats his name on youtube
how?can u help me?i have a female lovebird and i think she is a little crazy...she doesnt bite me but he always run away when i put it on my hand or shoulder...but he isnt afraid of me...she let me pet her put he doesnt let me train her anythink...pls help
just be patient and spend lots of time with him. talk to him gently. if he tries to bite you, don't jerk your hand away from him really fast because then he just thinks that if he bites, he won't have to be bothered.
ur deep u learnt them for free of a guy on youtube and now your selling the information why not be helpful like him he told you all for free and imagine how u apprecait it he told you for free! and imagine how some else would apprecait it...!!!! u nub noob
Hi i have a love bird i got it on the 12/10/08 but it dont come to me and she dont know any trick's abd she bit's me..How can i make it not to bit me??please can you tell me how do make it STOP biting me...
budgies can learn alot of these tricks. Before I got mine a companion, he would: wave, kiss, turn around, fly to me, and shake. As long as you form a bond, teaching tricks is simple.
I've been trying to decide whether to get mine from a breeder or a petstore, because there are not many breeders here. but i think this convinces me. you're really great with that bird.
Tico is so cute! You remind me of my aunt when she was a kid, she loved animals and she still loves them today! She`s a vegetarian and she works at the Nashville zoo. She also has 2 pitbulls, which she rescued both. She also had a pet snake.
As a trick idea, how 'bout "play dead?" My former Grey Cheeked Parakeet used to do that, play dead in my hand, lying on his back, feet up, 'til I said "OK."
You might enjoy the Grey Cheeks I adopted from bad homes. they are elderly & probably won't learn tricks, but they have a good home & seem to appreciate it. Go to my YouTube page "KutRyte."
ya the gum was hilarious, expecially how she said "drop it" just like you would with a dog! As for the price, it REALLY varies depending on where you get your bird.
I got Tico for $40 from a breeder but at pet stores they vary from $70 on up. Breeders are definately the way to go because you always get tame, healthy birds.
Well... Since I Last talked to you i got 2 love birds exactly like tico! They are really cute but they aren't very tame, How did you get tico so tame and how long did it take?
And a final suggestion that's on top of my head right now is the open wing one. I used to call it "eagle" though because I tried to make my parrot imitate an eagle. I used my finger as a queue to ask him to open his wings and then treat him. And as I'd raise my finger he would open his wings to earn a treat
Also, my parrot used to do the freeze trick like a one a dog does. I taught it to him by showing him his favorite treat and then following to place it on top of his head as he was on a T-stick and asking him to Freeze. If he would stay still for some time then I would praise him and let him have the treat. Gradually you can increase the time he has to stay frozen.
hey,i read the part where you were asking about more ideas on tricks to teach him.
you should try to teach him to salute. its a variation of the "hello/hi" wave he does except you ask him to pick a small flag and wave it around with one foot. i taught my old parrot that trick years ago (sadly, he passed away when he was about 17 years old).
Can he roll over and play dead? (Might be hard with a lovie since their legs are so short, though)
What about teaching him a routine? Like the hokey pokey ...(he can already lift his foot and turn, so it would only be a matter of putting those tricks together in sequence)
What about putting a ball in a cup, shape/color recognition, putting coins in a piggy bank, ringing a bell, etc.
Hi! I'm a big fan of your lovebirb Tico! I've seen his videos and I just loved it! He's so cute, sweet and clever. Congratulations!
I have 2 lovebirds, but I bought them in a store. They weren't raised by me since babys, but I think that I have a good relationship with them. Anyway, I'm pitty that I can't do that tricks with them...What do you think?
well the way i make my lovebirds go on my finger is i let them out and the'd see food on my pawm and they would fly 2 my finger its a trick for peple who has birds tht cant go on fingers. oh yea foxcrit u should make part 4
I'm just so astonished with the gentleness of this kid. You can see the bird is crazy about her letting her approach him from above like that. Impressive.
Alright Christina, my bird is truly jealous now!! But seriously, the animal lover in you comes out with Tico. He's lucky to have a great owner and best friend!
I remember seeing in one of the comments that you have trouble finding safflower seeds. Try looking at stores that sell seeds for wild birds. I have seen them there. I also saw them on Nextag.
Maybe I could ship them out to you for a few weeks. I'll pay you!
We're actually going to a behavoir workshop next weekend. I'm excited! I hope we accomplish something but I doubt it, I think Daisy and Clover inherited ADD from their mama, only they have ADHD.
Omg! That is sooo cute :) You are very careful with your pets and treat them right! Love it, Tico and you should be given an award :D I would love it if one of my budgies could do that, *Hint Hint* lol.
