Parrot Training: Tips for Talking Part 2

hi again, just to update you on my last question i asked you,
i let my poppy out of the cage when ever she wants and she didnt like going in her cage after being out all the time, because she

absolutely NOT you probably misunderstood someone. You should only train your parrot 3 or 4 times a day for 15 minutes. You can have your bird out all day as long as they eat and drink of course.

Never heard that before, Tui is usually out for hours at a time, until she craps on the sofa or floor or starts to nibble on something and ignores my telling her "NO"

is it true that you should only have your grey out for 4X 15 minute seprate sessions as a pose to a hole 1 hour ?

sorry i heard you worng ya its hard not to i got my blue fronted amazon and congo grey 2 years ago , my grey dont bite me n e more but when i first got him it ripped skin easy and i guess i got used to it but what i do when i react is i place the bird on the ground and walk away, this was your not really responding negativly but still showing he did something wrong, but it was good to view your videos hopfully you can next time post a video with him talking :D

actually I say don't react, but I was recently introduced to another grey who bites 10 times harder than Tui where it is impossible not to react. This bird crushed my finger and it was painful for 5 days so it is easier said than done I know but I suggest you don't react

that desire list of words is a great idea i will do that. every thing was good to learn i just personaly dont agree with what u said about when they bite u to react, i have learnt from experiance that when a parrot learns that you will react with a bite it will do it at any time they feel disconfert. when i try to teach my bird tricks it will bite but when i started not to react to the bite i found they slowly stop biteing. but not to take away from your video it was great.

you talk to birds ??
you need to see a shrink immeadiatly !

Good advice, wish I had flighted my grey in the beginning. Mine is a really talkative bird and makes up her own phrases that are relavent. I have always talked to her not at her, think it makes a difference.

re: 'biting'. My boss' parrot T-Bird will place your fingers in her mouth and dab with her tongue. She won't bear down, just put the finger in her mouth. I've been told sometimes this is a way the parrot identifies you, by the taste of the salt on your skin. She's a real sweetheart.

the part at 5:07 is kinda funny. Tui is a nice name for an african grey parrot. Tui hmmm good choice.

I've only watched the first 4 minutes of this so far but you made some very good suggestions and points I have to agree with one of the prevoius comments made the parrot does seem to be very relaxed and calm. I like it!

thats realy good your parrot is realy nice and relaxed

great info! i adopted a 6 year old, highly neglected, highly plucked. he was clipped from birth. in the last two years he has lived with me he has gained feathers and confidence in flight (sloooowly). he has learned some words with me, do u think it's ever too late?

i don't care, particularly, but i don't want to have expectations he can't meet!

GREAT show!

i recently got a greenwing macaw which is a parrot and theyre suppose to be really sweet and nice and she is, but she cost around 1500 i think. my kiwi (her name) is gonna be my life long partner tho!
