So, we already learned about the requisites of the clicker training, the treats, and the target stick. Now, it's a matter of putting those altogether to have the parrot step up onto our hand.
So, go ahead and hold your hand up in front of the bird at a reasonable distance, a little further, so you're going to start at a distance where the bird cannot bite you. You're going to bring up your target stick and show it in front. You're going to advance the two together with the tip pointing toward the bird, and you're going to bring them all closer together. And keep bringing it closer, and have the target stick in front of him so he's reaching toward it. And click and give him a treat, because he did the right thing right now. We can give him that sunflower seed. That's good.
So, we're going to first overcome the shyness a little bit to get the bird accustomed to new people, and then once we can get past that, then he'll follow the target stick onto the hand to get the treat. So, go ahead and hold your hand in front of the bird, and bring that target stick behind. Bring your hand higher, because the bird only step up, not down, bring it closer. Bring your hand closer, and show him the target stick so he can just reach and he has to get on your hand to get it. Very good.
Now you can give him that treat. That's good. He can step off your hand. We're going to try that again. So, just remember you want him to be aiming for the tip of the stick, and you want to have your treat ready so that as soon as he steps on your hand, you can click and give him that treat without much delay. He's not a bitey bird, but if you had a vicious bird that's not used to stepping on hands yet, you want to get that beak focused. Focus on the target stick first, and then focus on the treats so that he never bites your skin in the process.
So, let's try that again. Now remember, the way I want you to do it is to approach not from below, not from above, I want you to have the target stick in front, and your hand, and travel together so they're at the same distance, he has to get on that hand to touch the stick. So, it's like this stick is glued to the hand, but just at a distance, that he has to be on your hand to reach the stick.
So, give that a try. That's great. Just back a little more on the stick so he has to step on your hand. Just keep bringing your hand closer and show him the target stick. Truman, target. Truman, target.
Now, what you're going to do is you're going to wait. You don't chase him with your hand because you don't want to set up any kind of fear. You don't want him to want to get away from your hand. So, take everything away and we're going to try it again.
He's got to want to come on your hand. Alright. So, go ahead and approach everything at the same time again. Truman, you're going to target, okay? So, go ahead and bring everything in gently. That's very good. Just keep bringing in closer and closer. Good. There we go. Good bird. Very good.
Alright. I want you to try one more time. This time we're going to have the bird on your hand. We're going to take your hand a little bit away from the perch so he can stay on your hand. Okay. So, go ahead and bring your hands in, same time together, very good. Just keep coming closer until he steps up. That's good, and just keep coming closer.
Hold your stick a little further back so he has to get on your hand to do it, that's good, and now take your hand up and away a little bit so he can stay on your hand, and give him that treat. Very good. And that's how to teach a parrot to step up on our hands for the first time, or to teach your parrot to step up on strangers' hands if you want to direct a stranger to be able to pick up your bird as well.
Could you do a video where you show us how to teach a scared bird to step up without a target stick or clicker
Why? lol
You need a target stick and clicker even the more in that case
Looks like you need to first win your birds trust
Its been 3 years pretty sure you have done it
There are many components to parrot training. One plan I found that succeeds in merging these is the Parrot Ploy Plan (google it if you're interested) definately the most helpful resource that I've heard of.Check out the interesting information .
@@leiasart4610 i didnt need any of that, i thought him/her how to do oy myself.
My bird knows that I have a treat and he just stretches too it or goes around my hand to get
same here
Noble Prince LMAO same she will crawl all over me and perch on my shoulder but god forbid I ask her to step up 😂
i know this was three years ago but did you ever find a solution? lmao
Same here !!
I've been investigating parrot training and discovered a great resource at Parrot Ploy Plan (check it out on google)
dont forget to introduce a verbal command that can be associated with this gesture! this can be very helpful if you dont have a target stick or a treat :D
When you watch these videos anyway when you know your parents won't let you get a cockatiel
Did you get it?
I hate how people think that every single bird wont be scared of a huge stick coming thier way
Exactly. I got my cockatoo from an abusive owner and he got hurt with sticks. This is very unhelpful.
My dad told me that he had a parrot before I was born and it always woke my dad up by calling his name ..
My parrot would bite me and it’s a big bird (Macaw)
Will this work on my pacific parrotlets?
شكرا جزيلا......
My only problem is my parrot was abused by his previous owners and so he rarely out of his cage because he will bite. Especially men. He let's me reach in his cage and pet his neck/head but I'd love to just hold him...
Thank you it is so helpful 😊
My parrot is a 42 year old mean bird, he trusts me enough me to get him on a stick sometimes, he doesn't like anyone other then me and my mom going close to his crib, I'm trying to get him to stop biting, to step up and to talk he won't let me or my mom pet him, my grandparents never let him out of his cage and I don't know how to get him to act more friendly, and maybe even get hum to fly again I wanna help him but I don't know how, do you think you can help?
Thanks a lot brother . (Praveen from India)
Oh finally the answer for my question how a girl looks with both asian and african origins.
madaraszi haha.
Not certain about the points made but ,if anyone else trying to find out how to get your parrot to talk try Hopandar Amazing Parrot Helper (do a search on google ) ? Ive heard some amazing things about it and my brother in law got amazing success with it.
@@miloradradovanovic6319 bot aren’t ye?
This bird is so sweet!!
My bird does not like sticks can we have one without a stick?
Hi how to make my baby parrot move toward me when I do feeding using syringe? She stay at one place and she don't want to open mouth as well when I bring the syringe to her. Please help. I have to open her mouth to feed.
My question is, how can i make the bird step up without having to give it a treat every single time? Like, after a while, they begin to be used to stepping up that they forget about the treat or?
does a clicker have to be used
No, but it makes things a lot easier. If you are worried about price then don't because you can get them under a dollar.
I have a 2 month old conure and hes very vicious. I try to make him step up and i give him treats but when i put him down he tries to bite me. What should i do? I only have a moveable perch that i use to make him learn to step up.
What gives it as food?
regular seed should make up about 50-60% of there diet. the rest should be fruits, vegetables and nuts. make sure to clean water daily
OMG thanks so much U EARNED A NEW SUB
sub to parrot wizard not howcast
Mine wont step up
What to do if a bird is slipping on skin?
Maybe try wearing a glove? Or use a long sleeve shirt so it can grip better!
We got a bird and he used to scream every time someone came within like one yard of him. Now he has gotten used to me through trick training taking the process slowly. He used to step up for a few seconds but then we took him to get his nails clipped and ever since then he doesn't step up hardly ever even though I offer a large treat as a reward. He will still do other interacting tricks such as waving, high five, turning around, target, retrieve, and stacking rings but I can't seem to get him to step up. Any advice?
I'm having a similar problem my parrot will give me kisses, let me lay him on his back, pick him up from behind but will NOT step up idk what to do
dosent work my parot is weird n9n of these things help me waaa😭😭
My bird immediately goes for a bite if I get m hand as close as 30 cm
Do I have to say "step-up" when I train my parrot?
i have a alexdrine parrot 1 month baby at what time i should start his learning.
Subscribe to Parrot Wizard he has great stuff about teaching parrots.
How I train my pineapple green cheek conure who’s really *really* bity and bites really hard. How I do it is I take gloves 😂 don’t ask me because he bites super hard, anyways then once he has stepped on, I give him a treat and keep on doing it. Then I just keep repeating that
What kind is that parrot
I did it without the target training 😎😎😎
Rohan Gijare savage
Rohan Gijare same 😋😋😋
Rohan Gijare can you explain me how?
Rohan Gijare i did tha too
There are many factors in parrot training. One plan I discovered which succeeds in merging these is the Parrot Ploy Plan (check it out on google) definately the most helpful blueprint that I have ever seen.look at the awesome info .
Lol My conure is like screwed stuck on the perch
Can we try this on any parrot?
Like a red crowned parakeet?
+Dev Gir I'm just trying this and it works if you have the patience
Ok yes it works perfectly but every time my parrot steps on my hand he bites a lot even 9f there is a treat hr doesn't care hr just bites
Dev Gir
DONT get pissed or trow him away or scream or do stuff like this! Ignor him and if he continues after he just bitten you put him down and them pick him again and repeat the process. In time he will understand that it's bad
That's kind of cool and creepy at the same time lol
my birds hate the target stick LOL any tips?
what kind of bird is it
Very good
Anyone willing to help me with my jackdaw's training? I seem to have trouble.
퀘이커 가입질이심해요
My bird only steps up if I have millet but I want him to step up without using the millet
this method doesnt work for my bird :/
He keeps biting me because I won't give him my biscuits 😭
I need help I just got a green cheek and he lets me pet him and doesn’t say anything he barley sits on his perch he just likes to hang in the corner and he won’t sit on my finger either he’s 5 months old and I got him 2 days ago someone tell me what I should do
Emmad Younas Is he better now?
The Best he’s much more used to his cage he sits in his perch but doesn’t sit on my finger he lets me grab him and play with him and touch him but he won’t step up yet
Stepping up isn't something birds instinctively know, unlike their want for attention. In the wild they play with other birds, but aren't taught through vocalization and command to step up. Have you taught him to target the stick? If so then try letting him see the treat and not the stick. The stick for the bird is just another way of saying "Tap me for a treat"
Cameron Lau thank you I haven’t tried target trading yet but now I can pick him up and put him on my finger but we still aren’t there yet
does a lorikeet count as a parrot?
It's in the parrot family
I don't think he/she gives two fucks about your answer...
Terry Gullatte lol
nuestro mago de las abes invita a una amiga
4 days ago I bought a six month old galah, when I let her out of the cage she fly all over the house and wont come back again, and I want to cut her wings, is it a good idea?
If it's a problem where you can't control your bird, then yes. Take them to a vet to get it done, or be very sure you know what you're doing if you do it yourself
I'm gonna get a cockatiel for my bday
Did you got it
My parrot isn’t doing it she is too scared :(
Think the bird with the dark hair and tan needs more training.
my parrot always fly not hold my hand
problem about my bird, he steps up onto my arm but hands....NEVER!
Mine step everywhere ; on my hand, head, feet, back, shoulder.
anybody 2018???? btw this video helped me
2020

2021
I think the bird is full
Oookay, so you need to do the target training first, then train them to step up.
Ember Jewels I wouldn’t say u need to, ig it depends on the bird. My cockatiel hasn’t needed a target stick and he’s doing great on stepping up, but he is hand raised so he’s a little more comfortable when it comes to hands
plese plese sir
do you train my parrot
Me watching hen i will never have the money or the confidence to buy a bird
