Parrot Bites Person - How To Train Your Parrot to Step Up Without Biting

http://TrainedParrot.com/Taming

Above is a thorough article I wrote that helps you teach your parrot come out of the cage without biting.

Parrot bites my girlfriend really hard to the point of drawing blood. This video is for all parrot owners who have ever been bit by their bird or whose bird bites other people. It trains how to prevent biting in the future. This video applies to all kinds of parrots including macaw, african grey, amazon, poicephalus, conure, caique, eclectus, ringneck., cockatoo, cockatiel, lovebird, monk parakeet, budgie, etc. The techniques are really the same for any bird.

My Senegal Parrot, Kili, is a maturing parrot with raging hormones. She has become more territorial and aggressive than ever before. She will often bite people that try to pick her up off of her tree or cage.

But through proper parrot training, these issues can be resolved. This video shows you how to teach your bird to step up onto your hand without biting. It goes by quickly so you may want to watch it a few times through. To avoid wasting your time, we just show each step once or twice through. Keep in mind that you may have to practice each step with your bird for up to several weeks for it to become effective. You have to work at your bird's pace.

Start by putting your bird on a training diet:

Next, clicker condition your parrot:

Now you are ready to start target training:

Learn to target train your bird using only one hand so that you can target bird onto or off of your other free hand:

Practice targeting the bird around the cage, onto a handheld perch, and onto your arm. At this stage you should be ready to target the bird onto your hand. The parrot will be so focused on the target stick and the treat to come, that it will not bite. Don't forget that this process takes time. You cannot rush this process or you will not achieve results. This can happen as quickly as one day for a baby bird that isn't prone to biting and is not scared of you. This can take weeks, months, or even years for birds that learned to bite.

After you have success target training and handling your bird, you can use the target stick to teach it the turn around trick:

my mum wont let me change my cockatiels food to pellets and i dont have a clicker

what should i do?

[kiliparrot]

@KittehKatCod Cockatiels have a different diet than larger parrots so they shouldn't necessarily be converted to pellets. Just save millet spray and its favorite seeds for training. You can order a clicker on my parrot wizard website linked from my channel.

About how long does it take to train your parrot this way? Do you think this would work for a parrot that has been neglected and in a cage for most of her life with little human contact?

[kiliparrot]

@cheygurl2010 It takes as long as it takes. It depends on the parrot, it's history, the owner, etc. It can happen in as little as a few days or could take months to make it work. But I think given enough time and effort it's guaranteed to work on any parrot.

The parakeets fly away from me :( *

[AmirTunes]

but then wouldn't the bird expect a treat every time you want to hold it?

@Sundown90731 You might try working with the parrot alone for a while and making the parrot off-limit to kids. The parrot may be afraid of the kids... and probably is enjoying the freedom and doesn't want to go in the cage again for weeks... or months... (assuming she doesn't normally get out).  Try training like the video to step on/off a stick for a treat, and eventually your hand. Our bird is out of her cage at least 8 hours a day, and gets a treat when going back, so is fine.

[Sundown90731]

@k9shrink I will try those thing. I just got my Quaker this pass Christmas and my kids call her green bean.she open and got out her cage yesterday 1/17/12 and today all by herself but when we went to put her back in she go's to bite at our fingers. she also backs away from us when we go to her cage and feed and water her. what she I do we really needs someones help
