To Bird School We Go!

January 31st, 2012

Dear Parrot Lover,

Contrary to popular belief, every parrot can be trained to not only act on command, but to also talk, whistle and sing on command as well. Some parrots can even be trained to roller-skate or to play table-top basketball.

However, this all starts with basic parrot training. Knowing the best way to train your parrot can lead to a happy, well-socialized, and well-trained parrot.

Training your parrot will take plenty of patience and time. Because of this it is very important to know that how you interact with your parrot will have a direct effect on their training and future attitude. Therefore, it is best to always remain positive and upbeat, regardless of how frustrated you might be. And never, ever, yell or throw things at your parrot. Under no circumstances should you smack your parrot either! These can all lead to emotional and physical harm, and borders on animal abuse.

Keep the training sessions always short, sweet and to the point. This will help keep things interesting and fun for both of you and will avoid any boredom ruts.

Another thing not to do is to withhold your parrot’s food, either as punishment or for training. Instead, use their food, or favorite treat, as a training aid - a reward for learning a new word, a new command or even for just attempting a new trick.

After your training session is done, let your parrot go back into their cage so that he or she can rest for a little while and have something to eat and drink. You should wait between 30 minutes to an hour before bringing him or her out of their cage to start another training session. Keep these training session to 2 - 3 per day. More than that and your parrot will start to feel stressed out.

When training your parrot, remember to play with your parrot as well. All work and no play, will make your parrot resent their training. For every training session you do together, make sure you have a play session as well.

The Key to a Healthy, Happy Bird

January 16th, 2012

Dear Parrot Lover,

After cats and dogs, parrots have become increasingly popular as a family pet. Raising a parrot to be healthy and happy can be a challenge. Here are five tips on how to raise a happy and healthy parrot:

  1. Make sure you do your homework! Research all the different parrot species to find one that is a near-perfect match to your lifestyle. Some parrots are okay spending hours alone all day in their cage with only minimal interaction when you come home from work. While others have to be out of their cages most of the time. Some parrots are known to have very high shrill vocals, and others will hardly make a peep. Doing your research beforehand can help set the foundation for a happy and health parrot in the future.
  2. Visit the Breeder! It is always best to purchase a baby parrot from a reputable breeder instead of a pet shop. This is because in a pet shop your new parrot may have been exposed to various types of airborne diseases and possibly even abuse by untrained staff. Ask the breeder if you can visit their nursery. Due to certain airborne avian diseases, the breeder may not allow you access into their nursery but they will allow you to visit their home and meet their breeder parrots. This will give you an idea of how well cared for the baby parrots are.
  3. Choose wisely! Once you have selected the right species and the right breeder you will then have to choose the right parrot. Avoid a parrot that has signs of malnutrition or physical abuse. Malnourished parrots will look like they have very breastbones when in actuality it is their overall muscle mass that has decreased. Your parrots feathers should be soft and shiny with no signs of plucking. Their eyes should also be clear, with no discharge. There should also be no discharge from their nostrils.
  4. Socialize! A great tip to raise a healthy parrot is to ensure proper socialization from the get-go. Parrots are very sociable creatures and enjoy the company of their flock members. Allow your parrot to interact with all members of your family as well as guests.
  5. Training! To ensure that you parrot is a well-adjusted member of your family, you will need to train them. Every day spend some time training your parrot with commands such as ’step-up’, ’step-down’, as well as teaching them new words and phrases.

Create the Parrot of your Dreams

December 20th, 2011

Dear Parrot Lover,

Although most parrot owners would love to have a parrot that displays love to them every single day, most would actually prefer a parrot that is just plain well behaved and obedient. This is simply because most parrots have not been trained properly by their owners, and so their owners are never able to have a special bond with their parrots. This can all change, however, if the parrot owners were willing to learn how to train their parrots properly right from the start.

The most obvious lesson to learn when attempting to train a parrot is to have the utmost patience humanly possible. Your parrot may not immediately comprehend what it is that you are trying to train him or her to do, but given time they will soon pick it up and respond accordingly.

Besides patience, another training tip to adhere to is to remember that how you react to your parrot’s actions will have a direct affect your parrot’s outlook of you as their flock leader. In order to avoid this, it is a good idea to never raise your voice, throw things at your parrot’s cage, rattle the cage, or smack your parrot for any reason at all! If you become overly frustrated, give both you and your parrot a time out until you are calmer to resume a training session. Parrots are very fragile birds and negative words and actions can have long term detrimental effects. Try to keep all of the training sessions short, sweet and to the point, with plenty of rewards along the way.

Withholding food from your parrot to aid in its training is never a good idea. However, the use of food treats, such as extra sunflower seeds, is a great way to encourage your parrot.

Once you have concluded the training session with your parrot, spend a few minutes playing with him. This will give him another incentive to learn quickly so that he can get to playtime faster.

Keep in mind that every parrot is as different as every parrot owner, and your parrots particular personality will play a huge role in how quickly they can learn proper parrot etiquette. Plenty of patience and love will be your best advantages to effectively and easily training your pet parrot.

Enhance Your Bird’s Cage

December 6th, 2011

Dear Parrot Lover,

OK, so now that you have a new parrot and have purchased the largest cage for him that you could afford, it is now time for you to outfit the cage with the right toys and perches. Parrot toys can be easy to purchase, but perches can be a bit more difficult to acquire.

Inside your parrot’s cage you should place a minimum of at least three different diameter perches for your bird to sit on. The varying diameters will also help stretch and relax your birds feet as well. These perches should be made up of different types of materials such as wood, concrete and rope. Inside your bird’s cage you should also place a minimum of 5 different types of toys. Each of these toys should also serve a different purpose, like being either a swing, or a foraging or self-preening toy.

When choosing a wooden perch for your parrot’s cage, it is very important to try and identify the type of wood that was used to create the perch that you are considering purchasing, as there are quite a lot of woods that are extremely harmful and toxic to parrots, such as wood taken from Apple trees. To be safe, one of the best wooden perches to buy would be one that is made out of Manzanite. This is a good, safe, wood that is popular amongst most good parrot perch manufacturers. Manzanite is easily identified by being a dark wood that grows in a variety of different shapes and sizes.

Utilizing certain types of toys in your parrot’s cage can also act as perch, such as using pieces of rope toys that your parrot can swing from during the day and sit on to sleep during the night. When choosing a rope toy look for one that is made from 100% cotton and one that has smooth surface. The last thing you need is for your parrot’s toes or claw to became ensnared in the rope when you are not home. This could cause serious injury to your parrot.

Try to have a varied selection of perches in your parrot’s cage. Although a minimum of three with varying diameters and lengths is also a safe bet, the main focus should be on perches that allow your parrot to easily walk on and climb about on too. A good idea is to include at least a wooden perch, a concrete or sand perch to help with keeping your parrot’s nails and beak trimmed down, and also a rope perch for climbing around on, as well as for swinging on.

Shopping online for perches for your parrot’s cage is a great idea as it affords you the opportunity to research a wide variety of perches without leaving the comfort of your home.

We’re all familiar with the standard perches that come with bird cages. While there is nothing wrong with them and they serve a functional purpose, birds love more variety than that.

In the wild, every perching bird enjoys moving from one perch to another. They sit on them, climb along them, and move from one to another. Our pet birds are no different and they enjoy perching at various levels and having options available to them.

Bring Variety to Your Bird’s Perch

With so many pet birds in homes everywhere, there are far more interesting perching options for your bird than just that standard perch. One of the neatest options is made out of rope. If you’re familiar with the rope material that many dog tug toys are made from, then you already know what this perch is like.

It is made from multi-colored, durable rope that is fun and comfortable for a bird to climb along. The most attractive feature is that the rope is wrapped around a bendable material which means the whole rope perch is fully bendable.

Prevent Boredom

Birds are very smart creatures, and they often get bored within a cage environment with little stimulation. Rope perches that bend offer a world of variety for your bird’s cage. You can give your bird different levels to sit on, a variety of curves to walk along, and best yet, you can change the look of the perch routinely to give your bird variations for something new.

These perches are suitable for all perching birds, and you can easily find a rope perch that is sized for small birds like canaries all the way up to macaws.

Training Birds the Easy Way

Improving the Health of your Parrot

Dear Parrot Lover,

Of all the different animals in the world today, birds are the most adept at hiding their true physical status. This is because in the wild birds are always a part of the flock, and a sick or injured bird would either be left behind by the flock or would become prey for another animal or larger bird. This has carried over to domestic birds and parrots as well.

Therefore it is very important that you take your parrot for regular veterinary checkups with an avian certified veterinarian, and not just a regular vet. It is also best to become familiar with your birds own unique characteristics so that you can more easily recognize whenever your bird is sick.

If you are planning on keeping multiple birds, you will need to learn some basic bird first aid as well. Keep in mind that you cannot simply keep a pretty bird in a pretty cage and simply give it fresh water and food every day. Birds require a lot more attention than that! In fact, most birds, especially large parrots, require mental and physical stimulation on par to that given to a two year old child. If birds do not receive such stimulation, they will become bored and can be very destructive.

However, if you have not yet brought your bird home to live with you, you will have to consider the type and size of cage that your bird will reside in. Not all bird cages are created equal and you will need to make sure that the bar spaces are not too large that a smaller bird can escape through; conversely you will also need to make sure that the bar spacing is not so small that your larger bird will get their claws and toes stuck. A good rule of thumb is to always try to buy the largest cage that you can afford. The inside of the cage that you do choose should have plenty of room for your bird to turn around completely without their outstretched wings or tail feathers touching any part of the cage walls and bars.

To keep your bird as healthy as possible you should feed him or her a diet that consists of a mix of pellets, seeds, nuts, fruits, vegetables and grains. However, try not to feed your bird a pellet mix that contains too many multi-colored pellets as these colored pellets actually contain sugared food coloring that can be harmful to your bird in the long run. Instead choose a pellet mix where the pellets are all-natural with no colorful additives. These are much healthier in the long run anyway.

Don’t forget to give your bird plenty of fresh clean water to drink every day. If possible, depending on the size of your bird and the size of the cage, you may want to invest in providing your bird with a bird bathe of some kind. This can be either another water dish or it can be a large container that is filled with water and placed on the floor of your parrot’s cage.

Do You Have a Naughty Parrot?

November 8th, 2011

Dear Parrot Lover,

Imagine that you come home every day to be lovingly greeted by your parrot with a ‘hello’. Your parrot then steps obediently onto your finger and maybe gives you a quick kiss on the cheek. Does this already sound like your parrot? Or does your parrot ignore you when you come home and try to bite you whenever you extend your finger for him to step onto?

Not every parrot owner can say that they have a perfect parrot. There are actually many parrot owners that believe that their parrot does not listen to them and that their parrot is quite naughty. However, the truth is that parrots are not naughty, just untrained. If you want your parrot to behave nicely for you and to listen to you and not bite you, then you will have to train your parrot to do so accordingly.

Keep in mind that parrots are only capable of giving their owners, and other members of their human flock, unconditional love. Therefore you have to train your parrot with lots of love and patience as well. Even though training your parrot may seem like a hard project to undertake, especially if you have been previously bitten by your parrot in the past. Since most large parrots have the mental capacity of a toddler, they can be extremely stubborn and will resist all training attempts at first. However, if you remember to keep your training sessions short and sweet and regular, your parrot will come to look forward to the special time that the two of you share together and will quickly learn what you want them to learn.

Something else to keep in mind is that parrots are great mimickers. If you pronounce your words with great expression, your parrot will want to mimic your expressions with their own antics. In this same regard, how you respond to your parrot’s behavior and antics will also have a direct effect on their attitude towards you and towards their training sessions as well. In view of that, you should absolutely never become so frustrated with your parrot that you shout at him or her irritably. Therefore try to keep your voice level and try not to ever raise it at your parrot. Also, under no circumstances should ever, ever, hit your parrot or throw things at his or her cage. Such actions can and do cause long lasting detrimental effects on your parrot and he or she may never be able to overcome their fear of you and trust you again. This will create a never ending cycle of naughty behavior from your parrot - which is exactly what you are trying to train out of your parrot in the first place.

Unsocial Behaviors and Their Effects

Parrots can have the most wonderful personalities, but once a bird develops unsocial like behaviors, it can be incredibly difficult. Many owners feel at a loss and even give up on their birds, and although there are parrot rescue societies, do you know how hard it can be to re-home an unsocial bird?

The good news is that any bird with any amount of unsocial behaviors can be retrained and worked with. You can turn your bird around into the friendly, nicer, well behaved bird that can be loved.

The Best Way to Train Your Bird

October 30th, 2011

Dear Parrot Lover,

It is surely a dream of all parrot owners to have a parrot that exemplifies good parrot behavior. That is, that their parrot does not scream continuously, or try to bite every finger that comes their way. To have a parrot that listens to and understands verbal and physical commands and requests is truly the ultimate goal of every parrot owner.

However, the only real way in which to have such a parrot, is by properly training a parrot from the start. This is best done by understanding your parrot’s current behavior patterns and then training your parrot to learn new patterns that will benefit them in the long run.

Proper parrot training is just as important to do with your parrot as it is to train your dog. Keep in mind that a parrot that is well trained, will also be a very happy parrot too. In addition, your parrot will then also be more willing to interact on a very friendly and trusting basis with your friends and other members of your family and household.

The trick here is to learn how to properly train your parrot so as to modify their current behavior patterns in a positive way and not to inadvertently reinforce their negative behavior patterns. If you are too tired or if you easily become impatient with your parrot whilst trying to train them, you can make things worse and teach your parrot not to trust you and not to listen to you either. Therefore it is always a good idea to make sure that you are energetic and calm before you start with your parrot’s behavior modification training as this will help ensure that both of you have a good learning experience.

Parrots will always show signs that they are scared, frustrated or are about to lash out and bite their owners or whoever is handling them. In order to train your parrot not to do these things, you will need to first learn how to recognize such signs so that you can train these responses out of your parrot.

One of the more common signs is pinning or narrowing of their pupils. Parrots, and other species of birds, will often do this as a warning sign that they are become overly excited. This can be a ‘good excited’ or a ‘bad excited’ - what happens next will determine with the eye pinning is good or bad.

Remember to keep your parrots training sessions short, sweet, and to the treat! Parrots love getting treats from their owners, and giving them their favorite treat is a great reward for learning a new command or trick. It will help encourage your parrot to learn more so that they can get more treats.

Praise your parrot as often as you can. They will remember the praise and will strive to change their negative behavior into a more positive behaviors so as to receive more praise from you.

Keep Your Bird Entertained

October 6th, 2011

As a loving and kind parrot owner can you take a look at your parrot’s toys and honestly and knowingly say that they are:

Created using tanned vegetable leather

Not created using formaldehyde in any form

Created with iron or stainless steal

Not created with a zinc coating

Created with woods that are vegetable dyed

Not created using paints, lacquers, glues or adhesives

Created with chains and links that are made out of stainless steel to attach the toys to the cage bars

Well? How well do you know your parrot’s toys? The same toys that you lovingly purchased for your parrot?

If you don’t know how your parrot’s toys were made or if you do not what your parrot’s toys are made of or from, don’t worry, you are not alone! More than half of every parrot owner does not truly know what their parrot’s toys are made from or where they came from.

Some parrot toys are created in overseas countries and then imported into the USA. Most times these countries actually have subpar standards than the USA, especially when it concerns the proper health care of our cats, dogs and parrots. This means that the toys your parrot may be playing with right now may actually be harmful to them.

In order to take care your parrot, you need to be aware of proper parrot toy safety. This means that you will need to understand that there are certain woods, dyes, chemicals, metals, etc, that are absolutely detrimental to your parrot’s health, both short term and long term.

Therefore it is important to choose your parrot’s toys wisely. Avoid toys that contain Zinc and Lead. Or that have leather and wood pieces that are dyed with anything other than vegetable dye. It is also best to try to identify the type of wood that is present in your parrot’s toy as there are quite a few woods that are harmful to parrots, such as Apple. A good, safe, wood that is popular amongst most good parrot toys is Manzanite. It is a dark wood that grows in a variety of shapes and sizes.

Be very careful when choosing your parrot’s toys so as to insure the overal health and safety of your parrot for many years to come.

Look What Toys Can Do For Your Bird

It’s amazing to think that some little toy that hangs on his perch or in his cage could do very much, but in fact it can do a lot for your bird. Parrots are highly intelligent, and in the wild they are curious, investigative, and roam great distances. In our captive environments, a lot of this natural behavior is removed or limited, but toys are the key to allowing your bird to still think and play.

It helps not only stimulate his brain and give him something to do, but it can greatly help reduce negative behaviors like feather pulling, screaming for attention, and biting.

While toys are great, they’ve got to be safe. Many of the parrot toys that are commercially and readily available aren’t always the safest item for your bird. They can be toxic, dangerous, and even deadly as the bird toy market is not regulated, and many of these toys come from overseas.

With the Parrot Toys by Mail club, you’ll have access to totally bird safe toys that are made with your bird in mind. They’ll come sized for your bird, will contain only natural items that are safe, and will provide your bird with a ton of fun!

Turn Your Parrot into More than a Cage Accessory

September 20th, 2011

Dear Parrot Lover,

Parrots can be pleasant, clown-like creatures that bring their owners much happiness and pleasure. But only if they are trained properly from the get-go! It is extremely important that you command train your parrot to respond to your verbal instructions, as this not only helps in establishing yourself as the flock leader, but it also works to ensure that your parrot will be able to be handled safely in case of an emergency. Not every parrot owner knows that are four simple commands to train your parrot to respond and obey to: “Step Up”, “Step Down”, “No”, “OK”

The “Step Up” command is probably the most important command you will ever teach your parrot. This command is used whenever you would like your parrot to step up onto your finger or perch. Train your parrot to respond to this command by tenderly pressing your index finger against his or her chest. This will gently cause your parrot to want to take a step forward and they will then step up onto your finger.

When you want your parrot to step down off of your finger, you should teach them to respond to the “Step Down” command. This can be easily taught by holding your parrot behind a perch that you wish him or her to step down onto and gently tilt your hand down towards the perch whilst commanding “Step Down”. Naturally, your parrot will take a step down off of your index finger and down onto their perch.

The next best command to train your parrot to acknowledge is the “No” command. This is taught whenever your parrot does something you don’t want him or her to do. Saying “No” is much better than saying “stop it” or “bad bird”, as these words sound humorous to your parrot and they will have little understanding of the seriousness behind these words.

The “OK” command is said to your parrot whenever he or she makes up their own mind to do something that you haven’t yet given them permission to do. Repeating this command will help you stay at the top of your parrot’s household pecking order, whilst simultaneously reiterating to your parrot to obey you.

These four commands can be quite easily taught to your parrot and can be a true lifesaver in the case of emergency. Your parrot will know that he or she needs to “Step Up” or “Step Down” whenever they need to be moved quickly from their cage into their carrier for a quick trip to the vet.

In addition training your parrot to respond to these commands will cement a lifelong trusting relationship between the two of you.
