This was a great video. I have worked with parrots for forty years and training and parrot psychology have come a long way. So glad to have found your channel.
This is a great video with amazing tips! Birds are conscious beings, not objects to play with. A lot of people don't process that when they get a bird. It's communication and respect, not force. How would you feel if I came up to you and just pushed into you commanding you to step up? I'd get pretty mad and probably bite too! I learned this very quickly having my first bird. And they have grumpy days just like us. Always acknowledge that.
I adopted a Timney gray and taught him to step up without biting by offering him a grape, his favorite. He had the choice of the grape or my finger. Took two times before he would step up on his own but I continued to reward him until the "bribe" wasn't required
Me and my brother just got 2 african grey my brothers own is a girl and its calm but will still bite idk if his own can fly but mune is hostile and can fly idk what to do cause i cant just remove it from its cage or ad i am carrying it it will bite my finger and i will bleed
My grandparents passed away four months apart leaving me with their two African grey parrots who are older than me. This channel is very informative as I am still afraid of them but want to build a bond and get them to trust me. Thanks for the information and insight ❤
