How to train your parrot! Beginner Series Tutorial 1: Clicker Training

I want to help everyone give their pets the most enriching lives they can lead in our homes. Training is a great way to bond with your pet and to keep mentally and physically engaged. Clicker training is a positive reinforcement, forcefree training method, and forms the base of all of Wolfie's tricks!
Visit our Amazon storefront for bird stuff we use and recommend (if you use our link it's same price for you but we earn a small commission, thanks!)

Hopefully we will soon post tutorials on how to teach your pet all of Wolfie's tricks (skateboarding, high five, fetch, basketball, potty training and more), but everyone has to start from the same basics (By the way I used the same training steps for my dog too) Follow us on Instagram @littlewolfiebird in the meantime. We really hope this is useful to those who need it!

[@teamnanoofficial]

HI I LIKE YOUR VIDEO. THANKS FOR SHARING.!

[@TriciaBridgesKoontz]

I am amazed at your wonderful channel! You are a super teacher. I’m a long time clicker trainer of dogs and ... I’m getting a parrotlet in 4 weeks. So excited to learn from you! Would love private zoom lessons on the steps for some of Wolfie’s tricks if you do that. And, if I can afford it. 😊 Going off to your store to shop! Thank you sooooo much! Trish in Durham, NC

[@princeshihot8583]

[@hels74]

Blue hated the clicker too!! 🤣💙

[@LittleWolfieBird]

Hahaha yay we're not alone in the clicker hate!

[@dianprice1755]

i love yr vids

[@dianasaur2131]

I click my tongue twice like a clicker as it's not a sound I make in normal speech and frees up my hands. And I've always got my tongue handy 😆

[@factswithhala8090]

Thx

[@benparrotlets4989]

You are so awesome 👌 👏 👍 😍 💖 ♥ 👏

[@beyzabayr6165]

This is great way to start traning with my little baby. Which seed you use for reward? Please keep going on this series, and i can't wait for skateboarding serie :))

[@LittleWolfieBird]

Thanks for the support! I use a blend of seeds: flax, chia, millet, sesame, oats. :)

[@naimashaik7947]

Aww so cute💙can you do wolfies cage tour?🥰

[@LittleWolfieBird]

[@maryannquach4373]

How to get the bird to stay still?

[@freelancerockstar2290]

Where can I get this beautiful mini ramp?

[@janiceisdoodling]

[@tombe78]

What seeds do you use as a treat?

[@TriciaBridgesKoontz]

Where did you get the skateboard ramps?

[@sheelachoudhari9243]

What treats do you give wolfie when training? Thank you

[@user-xf5jp4zz2u]

What food do yo give him when training

[@vivianLx3]

Could you do videos on how to make diy enrichment toys for your bird or perches?

[@LittleWolfieBird]

Okay! Will do! Most of Wolfie's toys are DIY :)

[@Caroline-mp7zv]

Videos are great. My parrotlet steps up onto hand and takes food but soon as he is out of the cage he flies away. So I'm not sure how to begin with this ? Would you have any advice please

[@rushdy2270]

Whats the treat you give?

[@Anna-zx6lp]

I recently bought a clicker for my 12 month old kakariki male.
Not yet used it, you talk about treats what are they, mine dose not have any treats he eats things given to him so wht should I do regarding this

[@opgamer1799]

I am Indian I like this

[@wyattspop]

Can we begin with the clicker and switch out to words as time passes?

[@HappyShappy.]

Can we start with parrotlet pair?

[@LY-sx3mv]

New Training trick video plz🙏🙏

[@---____----]

My budgie always goes to the window whenever I let her out and she keeps banging her head of the window, I put the blinds down so she doesn't go to the window but is there anyway to train her to stop going to the window?

[@LittleWolfieBird]

If she is banging herself because she doesn’t realize that it’s glass then I suggest taking her on your finger and spending time with her right against the glass pane so that she can feel, see and realize that it’s glass and that she can’t fly through it. It’s a pretty complex question to answer simply here because there may be other reasons why she flies to the window - try to find the reason first:)

[@---____----]

@@LittleWolfieBird I think that she just wants to go outside but I can't just let her fly around because I've barely even trained her to go on my finger 😅 but once I train her more I'll try to let her know it's glass, thanks 🥰

[@jdbslayer_boss300]

Where did you buy the clicker?

[@LittleWolfieBird]

You can buy a pet clicker from any good pet store

[@jdbslayer_boss300]

And what type of treats do you give him?

[@LittleWolfieBird]

Our next video will be on this topic! :)

[@KalpeshPatel-bs8zt]

Which seed use in training???

[@LittleWolfieBird]

I use my own blend of seeds, which include flaxseed, chia, black and white sesame and a good quality commercial parrot seed mix. I'll talk more about treats and nutrition in future videos as I get asked this question a lot :)

[@KalpeshPatel-bs8zt]

@@LittleWolfieBird Thank you 🙏

[@theunknownkid8600]

Hi

[@HappyShappy.]

Or just single parrot

[@user-nw8ot6mv9j]

What type of Parrott is wolfie? Are all parrots trainable like that? Wont they fly away out of their cage?

[@LittleWolfieBird]

Wolfie is a pacific parrotlet. All parrots are trainable like that but your speed of training will depend on how tame / bonded they are to you. Training is a great way to bond with your bird ☺️

[@hajar8753]

Do you You're nervous?
