  • This video is all about how to pet a bird that is fearful of hands. I have included some tips that will hopefully help you out.
    Keep in mind that some birds will never want to be touched and will always be fearful of hands. Never force your bird to do anything it does not want, this will make your bird more fearful of you or aggressive towards you.

    One of my tricks has been holding something they are close to in my hand and then petting them with it. For Milo it was a toy or my phone, eventually I would sneak a finger in there, and overtime he got comfortable with my hand.

    I’ve got 2 IRN months ago and I managed to get one of them to stand on my hand only once, I though that this is not normal and they won’t love me because every video I watch says it takes from a week to a month to tame your parrot, I have more hope after watching this video, thank you so much

      Oh yes it takes time to build trust. It took me 1 year for Ricco to fully trust me and allow head scratches. Just give your birds time and never force them to do anything they don’t want to. Good luck.

    Thanks for the video. Many IRN don't prefer lots of touch so it's good information. With my macaw (and previously with my Indian ringneck) I would have the kids put their arms on the table and have a treat on the other side of their arm so bird must climb over them. Then in their hand... Then touch... All with rewards and respect of their boundaries. My macaw now is quite use to hands and will fly to any of the family members hands

    Of course you are an expert for "Tickle, tickle" 🤣🤣. However many bird owners I see on youtube could use more rest in contact with their birds. Sometimes its just better to let the bird have its will. One thing I even experience with my wild birds is, that one hasty move destroys the magic in any closer contact. The bird will feel threatened then. (I´m already happy with 1m distance 😁💚)

      Has anything changed, is she being aggressive as well or just fearful?
      Try to think of anything that may have changed or happened, a new toy, furniture, did anything happen to her to make her fearful. You can DM on Instagram as well and I’ll try to help you.

Jango eats from my finger and will...reluctantly step one talon and if I'm lucky two talon step-up. But he wants to immediately step back down. He is definitely afraid of the hands. He will want to run quickly away if I try to get him to do anything else. I got him two weeks ago.

    My cockatiel gets treats a lot but still screams at fingers or hands and when you put your hand in his cage he starts screaming. You have to move like a snail … well he also opens his beak..
    I don’t know I’m new to this because this is my first time having a bird.. I mean I love birds but like damn
    He is like 6 months old and I’ve only had him a few weeks now which was like uhh since the ..15th

    • @Riccothegreenpiedirn
      @Riccothegreenpiedirn  Před 11 měsíci

      Aww congratulations on your new cockatiel. Just give him time and continue to do things slowly. Using treats and his favourite foods is always best when trying to gain a birds trust. Also for now I wouldn’t recommend putting your hands in his cage. It’s best to never force your bird to do anything he doesn’t want to do as it will ruin any trust you are trying to build with your bird.
      Here is a video I did, hopefully it will help you out 👉czcams.com/video/jZkpu2_1iT4/video.html

      ( But we actually have to put our hands in the cage to put stuff inside it )
      I dont see him grinding his beak as much I noticed and he just does this weird call which I think means bored or stressed or something (Because I’m not actually sure)
      And they’re saying he is talking to me? Which I don’t know about that, it’s like this call where he starts chirping at first then it gradually gets louder and louder.
