I love capturing calm behaviors so much, it simply helps my bird to calm down easier and be the gentle boy he is
@Lastofthesane-hicans Жыл бұрын
When teaching calm today by bird was continually offering the yoga pose and wings up as a trick. It was the first day he had done those 2 poses he does for attention and got a treat for them. Confused if I ignore them to only reward calm or if it will deter him from the tricks I have him offering for treats.

When I say her name to my grey, she would often say "What do you want ?" then I say what I want her to do , like the cat or the lion, and she does it. She will always comply to what I ask if I get the "What do you want ?" response from calling her name, it feels like having a conversation with her, so cute ! I didn't train for it, it came by itself ! So I'm trying to capture this behaviour now and have her say it each time I say "Mémère ?" (it's her name). I rarely use other rewards but praises, but it would go faster if I did, but I'm lazy and also watching her weight and she'd work only for nuts or bits of cake, so I prefer to praise her most of the time. I keep nuts for desensitization and recall training.

@@adorapollard7308 Yeah, I also think she really knows what's she is saying. She is almost 19 now ! And she's always grasping more things as time go by, it never stops. it never cease to amaze me ! Often people won't believe me when I speak of the things she does, they think I'm crazy, and eventually they meet her, and it's like she changes their vision of the animal world ! By being so darn smart, clowny and sensible at the same time, able to enjoy music and dance like we do ! She is social, she likes people and sometimes, she will just walk to someone she just met, bow her head down and say "you do some cuddles !" :) (I'm translating everything, she speaks mostly french) She is one of a kind, they are all I guess ! I feel very lucky to share her life.

I found that capturing secures a behaviour quicker than training it sometimes. My 8 month old GCC, picks up named objects and puts them in my hands, when you say give me a kiss, he leans forward and makes a kiss sound. He now copies my saying thank you afterwards. My son bobbed his head up and down in front of Sprout, so I put that on cue to 'yes' so now you can ask him questions that he will nod too. He's just learnt to say yes as well. He makes the sound of our squeaky tap, so I put that on cue with 'cup of tea?' I'm just starting to put bathing behaviour on cue. I taught him to spin and flip using target training and he will also go to bed on cue. He is learning at such a fast rate. He was clicker and target trained from 8 weeks old.

I love that you found these videos too but what i love even more is you doing some research!!!! If you are going to get one from a breeder ask if you can visit the bird once a week and spend half an hour to an hour just playing with it. Get it used to being with you and being handled while your there. Youll have a much stronger bond when its old enough to bring home. For the rest of the week keep researching and by researching i mean find out stuff like diet requirements (not just what a petstore would say!) and tips and tricks for a healthier happier bird. For example learn to fold origami foraging treats or work out ways to keep your little one entertained in their cage. Also find out about different ways of training etc and get yourself super prepared. It also gives you the chance to see if a quaker is the right bird for you! Good luck!

1:45. A friend of mine used the command "better" (do it better) as a universal command to signal his pet (dog) he was on the right track but was not at treat-threshold. Replaces "All the way!", "A bit more!" "do it again" by something way snappier :).
@lastlight4252 3 жыл бұрын
Birds often duet. I trained my bird to say certain things by giving her my full attention and saying it back if it were a noise that reminded me of some words. Now, she says Good Baby first thing in the morning when she is hoping to be let out of the cage. She also says You're so Sweet, Yada yada yada, Cute Baby, achew (sneeze ; I didn't even notice she was picking it up), You're so Cute. She uses the phrase combinations n different contexts, clearly asking for different things OR indicating she is interested in something. I also can change her mind about what to do by saying a phrase that corresponds to a different behavior, and she will switch to something else like hiding and reappearing from behind a book. I have never used a food reward or a clicker because I do not need to train her for free flight, for example. Wouldn't do that because I might mess up, and she would pay the price. I just need her to play on her own sometimes and come sit with me sometimes and snuggle sometimes. She lifts her foot when she expects me to pick her up, of course she trained me on that one. She was so cute, I just had to extend my finger. However, at this point, I have to get up and walk across the room to get her; she doesn't fly to me. So I am starting to work on training her to fly to me.
@tzxazrael 3 жыл бұрын
clicker training isn't limited to free flight. same with food rewards. it's a motivational tool: teach the bird that "click" = treat, and you get a click when you do the thing you were asked. it's the same as saying "good bird!" or such. but then again.. you know what works for you xD

I would definitely recommend the Birdtricks seasonal recipes!!

Now it is a really great way for him to let people know he wants to interact. If he is offering kisses then I know he wants to earn seeds and will train and interact 😊

Whenever I click to capture a behavior, my bird goes into training mode and starts begging with her favorite tricks (usually saying "hi", waving, and spinning). Of course, once she starts doing this, she stops doing the behavior I want. It takes a while for her to understand what I want her to do, but she always gets it eventually!

@lottatroublemaker6130 3 жыл бұрын
This is the real clicker training, as Karen Pryor started using it with dolphins and later dogs. Basically just catch the animal when it does a natural behavior that you like it to do and click, marking that you want that behavior and then reinforce it with the treat. Simple! This tells your animal that it should try offering you different behaviors, to test if they are wanted. That is when it gets real fun training, because you now have a language and means of communication. I just fell in love with his when I started using clicker training in 1998, after rescuing my first dog, who had bad anxiety. It was so obvious that this was the way! 👏😍😊

Story of my sun conure: hatched est. 1998 She is very calm, very vocal too, but we can’t seem to get her to step up, always bites, but as I said making progress, only two other owners (including my grandfather) anyways, thank you very very much for your videos and as always, stay awesome!! :)

He probably likes fruit because that's also high in sugar and is more of a "treat" than healthy vegetables are. Maybe if you make a fine chop with fruit and veg, and mix it up with mushed up sweet potato or some other "binding" squishy food (so the different foods stick together and get stuck on the beak a little) that way the bird has to try the vegetables if they want the tasty fruit they enjoy. Then eventually they realise they like vegetables as well, or at least some of them :) they have quite a lot of videos and resources in converting to a healthy diet though, be sure to check them out!

Most of my training is done with capturing with Rocky the Alexandrine parakeet. I have trained him to whistle when I say whistle it off and to make a galah noise that he already made when I say cocky boy as well as to make a kiss noise when I say give me a kiss and a few other little things. It tends to work better for me than the other things because I use words rather than visual aids like with most of the other formal training.

Yes. I captured big wings with my young conure because she did the big wings every time she pooped. So as soon as the wings went out, before the poop, I clicked and gave it a name.

She said she had tried in vain to teach her big wings, but she was doing them for me but I didn’t have a clicker.

My cockatiel has always naturally waved when I come in and he's trying to get my attention. As soon as I try putting it on cue with a treat he acts all confused and rarely does it 😆🤦♀️

One day I was walking a section of the block in Hollywood, CA and there was a reward sign for a cockatoo. I thought if I have wings I can find that bird for her. Just sharing. Lisa

My severe macaw does this thing whenever I’m replacing her food/water bowls, the hoop where the bowls go into are left empty and she perches on them then flips through them I was so surprised when I first saw it I never thought of being able to have her do it on cue, will definitely try this 🙌

Jinx voice sounds just like a person. My GC conure Cricket would always do 1 quick spin all the way around whenever she knew she was getting a trick.. so now she will do it on command when I ask her to..she also showed her boyfriend Zion ( my male GC) how to do the same .

I capture taught my ringneck to raise and flap her wings with capturing! Whenever I had treats and I would start walking away she’d flap her wings to get my attention so I used that and now she does it on cue 😊

Hey I have a question so I want an African gray but ima 13 year old so obviously I'd have to deal with school and I read an article where they don't like being left in a cage by themselves and id worry it'd get lonely and start plucking feathers but all other times I would be able to have it out and socializing. Would that be fine and if not how can I fix this issue

Hey team. I just got a Rainbow Lorikeet and I'm wondering what program of yours is best suited for her. She was hand raised but is scared of the hand until she gets on it.

One of my linnies does a super cute move when she polishies her feathers just below the beak. How can I capture that? She looks like she ’s imitating a seahorse when doing that 😁

I’ve captured my GCC Yoyo to do the wave and also to grab my glasses (when i used to wear them). Now i have my Fiancé do the glasses trick with Yoyo. My sister captured him to do his “Macho dance” (as we call it) because he sees my sister and she starts slowly moving back and forth, stretches his neck out and mirrors her. After the dance, he’s usually makes a kiss sound to her 😁

I can't wait to use this method for my sun conure, Tango. She was taught how to give a single kiss on cue, but that was just from mimicking the noise at first until I added the cue word. I can say "gimme kiss" or just "kiss". Sometimes she's so quiet though it sounds like a sneeze. She knows how to say "hey baby", "I'll bite you", and "stop it". Problem is, she only does it when she sees someone she doesn't like. Right now that includes everyone in my household except me. She's my little guard bird apparently. Her saying these phrases is also paired with aggression. Her neck and head feathers go out to make herself look bigger and she does a little sway motion. I want to teach her to say the phrases on cue, but also not have the aggression paired with it. Does anyone have any advice for this? I'm sure capturing will be the first step I need to take.

So my 13 week old Alexandrine parrot has had the "Yoga pose" (standing on one foot with the other foot stuck back and both wings out) captured from day one when he did it in his cage and I went "woo" . Also the wings up. He has moved to the begging stage with both which is great BUT he isn't relaxed when out and about. I have had him 5 days and he isn't cuddly or adaptable when held like baby birds are reported to be. So I tried to "hang" with him outside of his cage like Jamie does and reward him for relaxed behaviour with the clicker and treat. However all he wanted to do was yoga pose and wings up (as this is the first time he has been food rewarded for it. Should the next time I ignore the yoga and wings up move and just reward for calm behaviour? Or will that deter him with the trucks he has already learnt

Could you use this to potty train a parrot?
@mimthyss 3 жыл бұрын
Yes!!!! When you see they're about to poop (simply watching your birds body language will help you figure this out, it becomes very obvious), you can say something like "potty" or "poop" or whatever you want to say. Then they do, obviously, since you knew they would, and you can click and reward with a nice treat. :) Eventually theyll get the idea that what you're saying means they should go toilet! I think if you only ever reward the "potty!" 'command' in one place, the bird hopefully will realise that you only want them to poop there. Idk, but what I'm saying is yes, you can potty train them using capturing xD there are probably some useful vids here on KZfaq about that!
@gothic_oma 3 жыл бұрын
Absolutely! Like the comment above, just watch for your bird's body language and go from there. You can teach them to potty on cue, or to fly to a perch (or wherever you want them to be) to go poop. Good luck! ☺
