Parrots - very sociable creatures and sit in a cage, they sooner or later get bored. So even the most stubborn parrot will go to contact, but in due time.
Taming the parrot to his hands
The most important thing in training a wavy parrot is patience. I really want to take the bird in my hands and talk to her. But if for you this is accomplished the usual and uncomplicated business, then for a budgie, getting used to a new situation, the person's hand is very stressful. At first the parrot is always afraid of the hands. This is completely normal. Teach a parrot to sit on your hands easily, but you need to do this gradually and leisurely:
- First, let the chick get used to the new environment. A cage with a pet should be placed at the level of its growth. This will give the bird confidence. Approach periodically to the cage and talk to the parrot. Do it kindly and call him affectionately by name. Do everything very carefully and without sudden movements.
- When the parrot gets used to the master, he will start eating in his presence. Now it's time to gradually tame the parrot to his hands. For the first time, offer the pet a treat over the bars of the cage. Most likely, he refuses. This is completely normal. Bait the bird better than her favorite delicacy. Do not forget to talk gently to a bird and call her by name.
- In a few days, perhaps a week, you can try to feed your pet in a cage with your hands. At first, the parrot is afraid of hands in the cage, but in time will start eating. Prolong him a favorite treat in the open palm. To tame a parrot, try in the morning, when the bird is hungry. So the process of habituation will go faster.
- After a while, the parrot boldly sits on his hands and eats. Then we begin to learn how to sit on your finger. To do this, simply place the elongated finger on the perch that your pet has chosen. Most often the parrot itself jumps on the finger, but there are cases when the bird simply can not understand what they want from it. In this case, lightly touch your finger to the belly of the bird between the legs. The parrot willingly moves to the owner's finger.
What if the parrot refuses to make contact?
You can tame a parrot this way in a couple of weeks. But there are individuals who simply flatly refuse to go to contact. How to accustom the parrot to his hands in this case? Most importantly - do not despair. Even the most stubborn parrot can not live without
Here a fundamentally different approach. If you can not get the attention of the pet by feeding, you need to look for other ways to interest him. Almost all parrots are great lovers of looking in the mirror. To lure a pet to the hand is possible with the help of a small mirror. Just drive them in front of the bird, gradually luring it into your hand. But you need to do this very carefully, otherwise you risk losing credibility and you'll have to start from the very beginning. Try to offer to play a cap from the handle or a small lid from the bottle. Parrots are very fond of messing around with such things. Here the most important thing is to find an object that will interest the pet. And then only your patience, and everything will turn out.
