clicker training #2 - trust exercise

im trying to get him on my hand and walk on my arm a bit closer to me

hes still a bit scared of my hand and he never sat on my hand on his own
(i tied this only 2 other times but i had bad video)

so this is me getting him slowly to trust me and for each step he takes closer to me i reward him with food ..
- but i only click the clicker when hes touching my hand
-and i let him eat the food for a bit longer

TIP:
- to do this you tease him with food
-for each step closer he takes towards you, reward the bird with food
- keep bringing him closer and closer till he touches you
- use the clicker (something that makes click noise) when the bird touches you

***repeat this activity for a few days***

my bird can't be tamed at all :(

i work with him every day and he doesn't show any progress. He's scared of EVERYTHING!!

@DanEddyCinema maybe you need to take a step back and see if hes comfortable with his environment and you have to go even slower.. trying to feed him first from your hand or even from your fingers( hold a small piece of food)

my bird is about over a year old and he seems very nervous ... i try to train him like that but he wont progress :/ .i also try to take him next to me at least twice a day so he gets use to me but nothin yet ..he wont trust what alse can i do?..thanks

[izabelas000]

@belhotty try feeding him and letting him walk around on his own ... he needs to feel good about his surroundings (cockatiels are really paranoid birds ,...you need to help him get over his fears)

[izabelas000]

@godsXmadeXme do some simple clicker training.. this is kinda what my videos are about .. even thoe some are tricks , they still relate to trust and building a relationship

i have a cockatiel named chayanne hes my grandfathers best friend my granpa is disabled. when my grandpa gets up in the night to go to the restroom he walks to the kitchen and starts whistling all the songs he knows until someone wakes up and helps my grandpa.

grandpa fell once tried to call us but the phone fell and chayanne walked to the phone and started singing and singin and u can tell the diff if hes calling for help or just singing

@DanEddyCinema Or you buy a second bird thats braver. They are smart birds. The first bird will notice that your hands are not dangerous when the second one will become tame. It's watch and learn. Promise!
