Training an African Grey Parrot to Allow Foot Touching

One of the steps to training a parrot to allow you to trim his nails is to train the bird to be comfortable with touching his feet, and also moving them a bit. Here we are extending the amount of time spent touching his feet. And he does great!

@mellupa11 check out my FAQ page on my website. You will see a link on the top left corner under help for behavior problems on my home page. It will take you to a page with resources to help you build trust with your new bird.

This training is only for birds that trust there owner and allow touching.
