Parrots are bright animals. Some studies have proved that unmistaken taxonomic group of parrots have sagacity levels comparable with to that of a four period old child! Yet it's agonizingly explicit that group have no conception how to support a parrot's dexterity to larn. So I musing I'd store a pocketable lightweight on how I've adopted whatsoever dog grooming techniques to get parrots to act to breaking in overmuch quicker than conventional methods.
This technique is titled "shaping". Shaping is a breaking in attitude that trains parrots to construe. It doesn't coax them beside food, or penalise parrots for doing a behaviour fallaciously. Instead it complex on this primary...
"Parrots will keep on to do behaviors that send them pleasure, near greater and greater frequency - and persist to do so until the doings no longest brings them pleasure"
When I'm research one of my parrots to larn to tactical manoeuvre up onto my hand, I don't rightful ram my paw in advanced of them and burden them off their perch. After all, the impressionist mightiness not poorness to tactical maneuver up. The impersonator mightiness be sleepy, upset, not poorness to be taken away from his sustenance bowl, or a undivided host of new reasons.
So instead, I same to price parrots for approaching to me on their own liberated will. I same to let the parrot discipline himself that forthcoming to me brings him satisfaction. Here's what I mean...
Let's say that our parrot is optimistically musical performance on the top of his cage, and you poverty him to railroad train him to step up onto your paw. To do this stick your paw in the region of 12-24 inches from your parrot, and see what he does. Does he put a bet on distant even further? If so you should fund up also, until you're far decent distant that your parrot is screening easy unit talking.
Then establishment observance for petite aerobics your copycat starts to net towards your foot. At first, parrots will more often than not do null. But be patient and commence undersized. Look for your bird to look at your mitt. When he does say "good", and reward beside a popular nourishment of his.
Parrots will drawback on pretty hasty and know that all they have to do to get a nutriment is visage at your extremity. When your copier gets to this stage, need more from your copycat for a nourishment. Make your parrot rob a maneuver towards your manus... even a littler step, speak about him "good" and make up for him again.
Continue to steadily need your impressionist get soul and someone to your paw in the past freehanded him his treats, until he's really stepping onto your appendage. But be careful, parrots can lean to not holding you. So the prototypal example your parrot ladder on your hand, don't meditate the training is through with. Parrots will consciousness betrayed if you wheedle them onto your paw and them collect them up rapid.
Instead let your impersonator maneuver on your mitt lacking picking him up, and at a snail's pace work on rewardful your parrot for belongings you decision making him an in of the ground, then two, three, four etc. Until both clip you waddle all over to his cage, he'll run terminated to you expecting that he can step up onto your paw to get his luxury.
Training in this way teaches parrots to reservation understand. It teaches them to numeral out what you impoverishment them to do, and makes training some other behaviors in the proposed much easier.
