Teaching to pick up object

I had to find a toy that Wembley was used to picking up, so I chose my munch ball...he isn't chewing it when he wants his seed which is good. Just teaching him to pick up for now, put my hand in after...

@looterwolf

how did you train them ???

i am trying to train both my cockatiel and a budgie, i used to have a ring neck and he was such a dear, now my tiel is the lazyest bird ever and the budgie seems to have no interest in humans at all

:(

any advice???

now i dont havea bird or anything YET lol..but ive seen videos and i think ill teach mine like this:

put down an object and when ur bird gets it on its own make a sound and award it with a treat, continue doing this..make sure u let the bird get it on its own at first...dont shove it in its mouth

start adding words as your bird does it , like PICK UP - click- feed-....repeat..

then u can add a motion...like lifting ur hand and saying "pick up!" when the bird does it click and give treat

gaining trust with your bird is the most important thing.

stick your hand inside the cage and dont take it out. When your bird touches your hand say good boy/girl and give it it's favourite treat.

Also is your bird new or was it hand tamed (has been with owners and is used to humans) when you got it.

Hand tamed birds like humans better and can come out of the cage in days.

Non hand tamed birds can be afraid of humans and so you need to do more trust work with them.
