U SOUND SO INPERSONAL NOT THAT U LIKE OR LOVE YOUR BIRD HOW ABOUT LOVING AND HUGGS INSTEAD THE CLICKING SHITTTTTTTT

[Raegh]

I have heard about clicker training with other animals than dogs but I've never seen it done with a bird. It's really awesome. But then again ... parrots are just amazing on their own. :)

[shykitty786]

i wan't wan't is anyone selling one?

[Artanalbo]

I have a bird like this and he got in a accident one of his blood feather fel of he was bleeding for a bit but now the bleeding stopped, Do I need to take him to a doctor, Or will he be good.

[proviewsg]

@Artanalbo Sorry to hear about the incident. Well I hope there's no recurring bleeding now. But if bleeding still occur, you've probably have to look for vet to remove the broken blood feather to stop the bleeding. The primary objective is to stop the bleed, because birds are very poor blood clotters.

BEAUTIFUL BIRD AND AWESOME VIDEO!

@birdlady423 Thank you =)

[tornandfrail]

how much u pay for her?????

[captainkegelt]

Kermit is really doing well. What kind of food reward do you give to her? I will have to try clicker training with my Senegal when I bring her home.

[proviewsg]

Sunflower Seeds! Almond bits and veggies works for Kermit too. Ultimately is to find something that is your senegal loves!

[owlbassboy]

mate please tell me how did you go about starting to train kermit. i have a senegal named kiki like your lovebird. i just have no idea how to go about starting to train him/her. am very impressed with all your birds tricks.

[3ponymous]

bryan - are you teaching him prop behaviors? Teaching several prop behaviors (like targeting) will prevent begging behaviors.

I'm very impressed with your training. You've made a lot of progress. Much more than I have with Mika in a similar amount of time.

[proviewsg]

Yup. I'm still teaching Kermit couple of prop tricks. The most recent one that Kermit learned will be the Cup Stacking Trick, but still need lots of practise and fine tuning. =)

In fact I'm really impress with Kermit performance too, coz naturally his characters are reserved, unreluctant performance & extreme short attention span. Thus still need lots of patience and work to get him doing things.

[Goignardp]

waauw that's nice.. How did you learn to give you a hand and wave? I do also the clickertraining with my senegal bird..

[vince0o7]

how do you make it wave hand and shake hand?

[proviewsg]

Well it's not difficult to teach them both simple trick. But you've to ensure that you had establish a certain level of trust between your parrot and you. Shake hand and Wave Hand is behaviors shaped out from the "step up" command.

[vince0o7]

thank i know to get trust and i will try when im going to buy a senegal parrot

[Shaaandy]

Great job with Kermit! He reminds me of my senegal in that he seems really eager to do the tricks. I started training mine at about 4 to 5 years old, he's 6 now. So, you are way ahead of me.

[proviewsg]

Well I still learning to understand the characteristic/behavior of the Senegal Parrot. I've have experience in smaller bird like lovebirds, budgies & tiels. I notice Senegal Parrot like Kermit can be so fearful, even the slightest sound fr the neighborhood can stress him and lead him to become cranky. Well i will say Senegal Parrots can b quite challenging to understand & quite temperament at times. Sometime I find Kermit can be quite hard to handle.

[Shaaandy]

My sennie is a little jumpy at times too. Yours may be even more so because he was a rescue. The training though may really help. Mine is hard to handle. I hold him with a towel over my hand as he can be unpredictable. I also had budgies and a cockatiel prior and they were easier. But, my guy has a ton of personality (as Kermit does) and is a lot of fun. The training will really help with fear and trust issues. My bird also screams less now that he's a little older. He still plays lots.

[proviewsg]

Icic. Quite true, I think the trick training does help fight boredom within parrot itself. Furthermore it does provide mental stimulant to the parrot which help improve behavior problems. Furthermore I find Senegal Parrot can be quiet and can also screech alot and have a tendency to screaming. Kermit does scream for attention when I leave the room, that's a symptom of becoming a one person bird. He don't like to be handle by anyone except me. Any advice on this?

[marvthecarpenter]

In the books I read it said to have your partner take the bird outside the home. that then makes your partner the only person the bird knows and they can rescue the bird from the vet or the groomer.

I have found food to work the best. Offer them something they love from your partners hand only. The only way they get it is if they let partner do xy or z to the bird.

[favutube]

Can Kermit talk?

[proviewsg]

Kermit is able to say a few words like "Peek-a-Boo" and "Pretty Bird" with his cute voice, but limited clarity and volume. He's yet to be a fantastic talker.

[MariaGarcia281]

Good job Kermit!

When I wave my hand in front of my IRN parakeet, he assumes it's time to hop on my hand for a ride o.O

Thx for adding vid to my Pets Group :)

[proviewsg]

Haha. Your IRN is alrdy truly amazing a great talker. I enjoy his peek-a-boo =)

[MariaGarcia281]

oh you remembered ;-)

[bkillaviperx]

Good training I remeber doing that for my African Grey, I have not done that with my Senegal yet. She was abused and I saved her. I am just getting her used to humans still.

[proviewsg]

How nice to hear you rescuing the poor senegal. Anyway what's her name and hw old? Kermit is currently 5mths old, still a young juvenile. To be honest, I still have alot to learn about him. Like other senegals, he's also quite fear of change and not willing to be handled by people other than me. I forseeing some behavior issue like "one person" bird, worst scream whenever I left the room =) Any advise?
