There is no such thing as a mean bird. It’s true! However, there are birds that loose, and birds who have emotional problems they want to avoid touching because all costs. When the birds with these problems can be catastrophic consequences for the situation in birds and pet owners.

If your pet bird bites you when you try to handle it, it is important to address this problem. To do this, we must work every day to treat your feathered friends. When you work with your pet, follow these tips and techniques to understand the dog is safe handling and fun.

Go to a neutral location. If possible, move your bird cage at a neutral location for training. Removing a bird from its “territory” may make them more prepared, with its owner.

Do not be afraid. If your bird falls to the finger, put your hand in his cage, do not try to jerk away suddenly, out of fear. Their rapid movement without doubt that your bird more nervous and anxious.

Use the tools, if any. If your bird is so aggressive that you can safely put your hand in his cage, wearing thick oven gloves in hand. If your bird bites the glove gently toward the nose, but not out, set aside. It was finally teach him that no matter how many bites you, it can not remove your hands.

Do not yell at your bird. Raise their voices in anger (and pain) in your bird does not make you understand that he is wrong. In fact, it is likely to increase the bad behavior of your bird when it is love is always such a response from you.

Try them with gifts. Do not treat your bird and talk in a soft voice when you try to treat it. With treats and praise your pet is ready to help you contact.

Repetition is the key. Take time to work with your bird at least once a day to ensure the success of the shrew. Sometimes it takes a while to build trust with a bird. Never give up!

Do not change your bird. Organize training sessions with a maximum of 15 minutes today. Birds are intelligent creatures and sensitive, and they need to have fun, to get their mental health and prevent stress.

If you follow these guidelines and make the necessary efforts, chances are you able to tame your pet in a relatively short period of time. If your bird is so aggressive that you can try one of the training is the first thing you should do, consult your veterinarian to rule out avian health concerns. If there is no physical reason for the unwanted behavior of your pet, please contact a certified parrot behavior consultant for an opinion on your situation.

There are many different ways of taming birds and each bird is as unique as his companion, but there are some basic components that must be followed for best results.

Security

Make sure bird cage is appropriate in size and shape. Round and cylindrical cages are not suitable because they lack the corners and edges of the birds prefer security. A bird that feels unsafe to handle defensive and probably not that simple. Make sure the cage in a quiet location in the area where it is the looming, can not observe in the middle of this chaos. In addition, useful place in the cage against a wall, provide a context for the protection (to avoid the feeling that the glass) and the upper side with a pillow case does not the bird feel as if things fall flight from above manage. Do your research before you start your bird lay at home and put the cage in advance, all appropriate toys, perches and dishes on the need, things changed immediately after his arrival, so that they reduce the Customize install and to its surroundings .

Colonization

Let him at least 24 hours to cage as soon as he returns home before it away after you bring them home. If you notice a bird is shivering, give him more time. Do not hurry. Some birds take 2 weeks or longer before they feel even remotely permanent, if your bird is still searching how to sprout a third eye in the middle of the forehead not 4 days after it brought home, . despair He just needs a little time.
Talking Prayer

Birds jump out loud and people are scared. Sit by the cage and talk to your bird with soft sound and song is a good way to familiarize yourself with your new friends familiar. Try not to make direct eye contact with him. Look at him for a profile view instead, so you look less like a predator. Do not feel stupid talking to someone who does not talk back? Get a book and read it aloud. With children? Read to your child through the cage and let your new bird to be a part of the audience.

Open Door

open seats on the door and hand in the cage is a good way to let your bird get used to your hands and fingers. Many birds are attracted by shiny jewelry wear a jewel in the safety of the birds to get some progress. (Silver Bird-safe = no stone, metal, non-toxic = pound and gold). After a while, a brave birds obtained which bear on this irresistible piece of jewelry while you talk to him to chew. Praise him when he is silent.

Food

The food is the best tool of all. Most birds love millet, unsalted crackers or other “junk food Birdy.” If your bird is scared to death the hand, you can try clipping the first thing in the cage if they are familiar with these concepts as treated. Praise them when they eat in front of you. Then over time, reaching into the cage with the handle. Your arm is hurt, that you keep very quiet, but then your friend may be reluctant to nibble it in your hands to deal with. If these congratulate you and your bird because you’ve taken an important step towards the domestication of your bird is done. A weak link is established and it has shown its first signs that she begins to trust you.

So what?

Go over the first weeks of the hardest for most new owners are now socialized bird to bird. Once you have made progress in the confidence department, the most for your bird to “Step Up” to teach. “Step Up” command not only sets a pattern of birds as “leader of the flock” (which definitely should be one), but it is also useful and can save life of your bird. A bird that knows “Step Up” can be out of harm’s way immediately transported from other people when needed, and the birds are much easier to manage in the home environment.

Learn to take treats from your hand to teach your bird that your hand is not a “bad thing”. Now he must learn to stand on it. No easy task, but it can be done. Press lightly on the stomach of a bird just above the feet, suggests the “surge” response. Millet training also worked for one of my cockatiels. By the stripes out of reach in the cage while he was in a corner of his cage, I put my fingers into her (not that he could return to corner) and said, “notch”. Many times, he climbed the bar in my hand, but finally he got the idea that I wanted to do, and they finally came, so here on my fingers. His reward will be closed to the branch of the strips, which were previously out of reach. When he understands that if it was on my finger, they treat her, she’s all to jump. Other birds are more reluctant to use their legs to stand on one finger available. They offer a beak instead of bite. Sometimes birds have phobias hand (perhaps abused old house) needs additional demands to master. Under these circumstances anchor formation, which are used in place of finger exercises. Teaching a bird to go on a stick or a stick first, and perhaps a finger can be effective as well.

Rest:

Remember that Rome is not built in a day and do not grow your bird in one way or another. Always approach your bird when you are in a relaxed mood. All the tension that you feel put out training sessions and chances are, you will leave disappointed and so will your bird. Choose a quiet place and time to work with your bird for the best results. Birds have a short attention span to keep, so that in mind and limit your workouts to fifteen minutes or less.

You’re on your way

In my opinion, accept the two main training milked by hand, and the acceleration. It is very important for a bird to learn to accept treats from your hand, as it not only creates the trust, but it is very important to reward your bird for good behavior with food or praise. To this end it is the absolute only thing you should teach him. When he accelerated, he can sit in the hand as well, and opened a forum for the physical contact that enrich your relationship. Once you have completed these two basics, you’re on your way to a trusting relationship with your new feathered friends.
