Video of Green Cheek Conure ( small parrot ) training. This was only his third day with us and he's learned to trust us quite a bit. There is no audio to hear talking, but we've added music.

Hi, I have a green cheeked conure that i purchased from my pet store. the lady who runs the pet store was able to bring him out of the cage and everything, and i held him also without any problems. I now have him home, but when i go to gently get him to step out of the cage, he bites. For anyone who has been bitten by a parrot, they can rip skin pretty easily lol. He is 6 1/2 months old, how do i train him to not tear my skin off?

@MrJmo1991 What its doing is trying to establish a pecking order. If you gently press your finger against its chest and it bites you, lock him up, put a blanket over the cage and walk away. Try again a few hours later, and repeat if necessary. Eventually he will step up to you. Just be patient, they are smart little birds.

i bought a green cheek conure 2 days ago his only 6 months old.. is my first time with a bird of my own... he let me touch him but i dont know how to put him on my fingers? do u have any tips?

[nana2226]

Most conures like safflower seeds so it is a great reward. When your bird is on the its pirch, lightly push your finger against his/her chest and say "step up". Your bird will automatically step on your finger, but remember to reward them with a treat so they will remember what you've just taught it. Some birds are faster learners than others so remember to be patient

how did you train him because i just got a gcc 2 weeks ago and he doesn't trust me fully yet plez help.

letting you under their wings is a 9 out of 10 on the trust scale, if anyone has any questions on green cheeks just send me a youtube message, i have had and trained 2 in the past, they are super smart and can be trained to do most tricks a that you can teach a dog and some other unique ones.

@MrJmo1991 you have to blow in there face pick them up with both hands because it will get them in the habit of doing that because it tells them you are scared of holding them my parrot bites me sometimes but i just blow in his face and his fine know

How tame was your bird when you got him? Like did he know all those tricks like going on his back and stuff? I have the exact same kind of bird as you actually, and he learned how to step up, but he can be a bit nippy and if he feels like getting off my finger he'll just jump and glide right down.

hi i just adopted a sun conure he is very tame when i comes to step up and he doesn't bite at all but he wont let me turn him over or pet him as much I also try to give him treats and fruits but he wont take it from my hand, but as soon as i put it down he goes for it..I'm home most of the day so I'm always carrying him and talking to him but he still does not seem to trust me what can i do to gain his trust...
