@Whateverhasbeenmynameforyears 3 жыл бұрын

@@yesiiii2389 They are supposed to touch it when it is within reach. They get a treat for touching the end nicely. So if it is close and you are waving it around then you are asking for them to hit a moving target and not rewarding them for it. So it is frustrating for the bird. You should step away from them when you are not training so that they know they are not needing to respond. This clears up the communication and releases the pressure. If you frustrate them enough they will give up or bite because they do not understand what you are wanting anymore because you are basically demanding something but speaking nonsense.

I The honesty of the truth and description of what its like to own an amazon parrot was so right on. But I i got too long winded in my reply. Glad to have this advantage and see the reactions of the double yellow head amazon in training mode and to say what needed to be aid.

I love Eclectus parrots!! It's my dream to get one, one day when I'm older. I'd like a female as I prefer the colouring but I guess I would decide based on personality. I don't think I will ever get a cockatoo, just based on their lifespan and how much work they are, but if I did get a bigger parrot I'd get an Eclectus. I also really like African Greys too but I don't think I will get one myself
