How To Tame Your Parrot - The Basic.

Parrots are wild animal. It takes a lot of time and patience to make the bird feel like you are their friend, but once you do it will be much easier to tame.

Once you bring the parrot home, make sure that it stays inside the cage for at least 24 hours and kept around people who love birds. If you see that the bird is skittish, give it some more time.

If you cover all the windows and mirrors and leave the cage door open, the parrot will emerge from the cage when it is ready to. If the bird does not emerge soon, you may be able to lure it out using some food or a branch. In order to protect yourself from snags, take precautions to ensure your hair is out of the way and wear clothing that will not snag easily.

Don't ever speak in a loud voice to your parrots. Do not look straight into his eyes or he will think you are a predator.

If your parrot refuses to take nourishment directly from your hands then you might want to take some clippings and place them inside the cage. It is important to praise your parrot every time they eat so that they will easily eat their food from your hand.

The parrot will have to fly once in a while to exercise its wings. If the bird is still frightened, you can use a low bird stand and two sticks of varying lengths to carry the bird around. Two sticks are needed so the parrot can go from one stick to the other. This must be done slowly but deliberately as sudden movements will frighten the parrot.

The first few weeks of taming a parrot are going to be challenging. Once you have made some improvements, you can now teach it certain commands like "step up". This will teach the bird that you are the master and if this is said, the parrot is aware that it must go to you especially when there is imminent danger so both of you can get out of harms way.

It is also important that they learn the command "no". If, at times, the parrot does something that you really don't like, then you must let it know so that it will not behave in that way again.

Taming the bird will take time. Once you have surpassed that, you can teach it certain words or maybe even to sing and this can only happen once you have established trust with your feathered friend.
