clicker training #1 - step up

trying to teach 7month old Pumpkin to get up on the stick

its been 31 days since i got him

..it might seem like nothing but let me add that he is afraid of everything so its a big improvement for him
(he was so scared of the stick b4 he would fly away when it was near him)
..oh n he was sitting on the stick longer b4 ...and i didint get to record dat =(

ps. he was a parented bird thats y im saying its an improvement (not use to being around humans)

TIP:
- i kept getting him to come closer to the stick (that was 1st laying on the table)till he put his foot on it
- i was teasing him with food so every step he took closer i gave him food
-then i used the clicker (one of those pens that makes a click noise when u press on it) when he touched it with his foot and rewarded him with food again
- i kept repeating this process till he got comfortable
- then i raised the stick a little bit and repeated the previous steps

***he understood that if he goes on it he will be rewarded with his favourite food***

Hi!, Nice vids!

I got a handfed tiel which is about 9 weeks old, at what age do you think I can start clicker training and teaching him/her to come to on command?

[izabelas000]

@BowlC300 i would wait till hes 12 weeks old

How did you get it outside of its cage, cos mine will not even try to come out, its about 6 months old and ive had it for about a month

[izabelas000]

@dejmago do a lot of trust exercises in the cage if u can ..also try to spend as much time with it and always play with it if u can , then slowly he will come out ..u might have problems putting back in the cage thoe ..just a warning

so you bought him when he was 6 months old? and you still managed to train him? wow, so if I buy a 3-4 months old cockatiel I can still train him, right?can you give me some suggestions?

the reaon he tries to go under is becouse ur holding the perch to hight hold it right abouve his feet, gently pressing and say "step up " with a firm but welcomeing voice, if you try this i think it may be easier for you but also a bird oging under a perch is a trick in book all in all this was a grea vid and i love your series of clicker training! ths so much

My cockatiel is afraid of everything... And he doesnt do anything... Also my mom doesnt want to clip there wings Because thats "Inhumain" so what do i do with them? Give them away? sell them? or something
