Very useful video! My budgie loves using the clicker, it's a very clear marker for her and she knows exactly what she has done correctly.
Awesome! It’s such a useful tool!
Amazing explaination :D I think this will be super helpful to a lot of people
Thank you! Hopefully! Although these training videos seldom do well lol
Some of My coworkers are dog trainers and they use the clicker to associate something positive is coming as positive reinforcement
Yup a clicker can be an awesome tool for all kinds of animal training!
Great video!!!
Thank you!

Another longer note asking for input from David:
Just got our new female cockatiel a week ago, Sid (like in ice age haha!). I have noticed that she gets angry and tells me off quite frequently. She "grumbles" and "bites" me in an attempt to say no I assume but there's not always a big reason for it? I'm struggling a bit with how to read her body language because she doesn't seem to be genuinely angry and is more setting down a boundary... which is 100% valid and typically when my birds say no I back off. However she does this all the time almost as a learned action?
One example is she will be sitting on my shoulder and I will move my head and immediately she gets upset and will softly bite my cheek/shirt and "screech". Another one is when she asks for scritches on her neck and then immediately gets upset despite also enjoying it...Or when I ask her to climb up on me because I need to move her and she makes her little annoyed noises and bites my hand.
I want to be clear it's more of a nibble/soft bite rather than actual aggression. But it is something I would like to work on whilst I at the same time want to respect her boundaries. It's just kind of hard to do because it seems more like something she is used to doing rather than genuinely being upset.
She has only been with us a week so I'm definitely going to give her time to adjust (she is also currently being treated for a foot injury) and won't push her right now but I wanted to get in front of it as soon as I can and try to see what the reason might be.
I wanted to ask for some advice/input from you and Sophie as my cockatiel owner senpais lol!
Sounds to me like a "no" body language of a bird, that was not listened to in the past. Respect it, approach her slowly and look out to her first signs of being uncomfortable, in a nutshell try to avoid situations, where she resorts to it. Once she learns, you can read her more subtle signs of body language, she should do the nibble-no far less. Might be too that it simply settles by itself, once she gets more comfortable in your home.
So mistertene is half right on this one!
Cockatiels can be really fussy with their behaviour!
They tend to use the behaviour as a telling off kind of behaviour and can do it even when they’ve had decent homes!
Fish and Chip still do it on occasion especially if they are on the shoulder and have settled down and I move and disturb them.
Usually it eases a lot as trust builds between you and the cockatiel but you may still see it on occasion. Provided it’s gentle and she never actually bites I wouldn’t worry about it too much.
regarding reducing it, time and trust will help, respecting her body language as you learn it, keeping movements slow and slow warning her before you move can help too!
Other than that the usual, not reacting, target training, ensuring your step up is solid and your face is regarded as friend!
So it is cocktiel thing. Good to know
@@TheParrotTeacher I see. So it's something they do. Good to know!
Then I will just be patient and see how things go 😊. Thank you.
Have a nice day!

Ty for this video I wanted to ask you a question my budgies Jack and Jill are doing amazing very happy birds there cage is always open so they fly out where ever and when ever they want . I also have perched around the house not to mention large swings to swing around . And plenty of toys . I know I have their trust more so me then my husband I feed and care for their cage . Howeverrrrrrr I still can’t pet them or come on my hand . I’ll give them millet holding it they both come close to my hand so I know there not afraid what else can I do ? 🌻🌻🌻
try target training them first with a target stick. David has made a video about that. Then place your hand on a perch, don't move it and target them to come near it, finally to walk over it. This should slowly desense them to getting in touch with your hand. then start holding your hand/finger close to the perch and try to target them onto it. Pits to fall into:
- don't move the hand as it will probably spook them
- when they finally step on it, let them go back immediately
- when targeting them near your hand, don't taunt them with the target stick to make them follow it. This frustrates them. Commit the target stick to a position, and only move closer to them, better to not move it all
the advantage of using a target stick instead of just millet, is that it makes them think more and get more into communication with you, which finally builds the trust necessary to get hands on with them
In the end just recognize that even after that they might not or might never enjoy being pet by you.
Mister tene has already responded really well to this question!
I’d have a go at what he’s suggested!
@@MisterTene thank you so so much I’m going to work on this 🌻🌻🌻
Hi ive got green cheeked female conure when she on on ceiling lamp shades it can be hard to get her down what advice would you give. She 7 weeks old
Train her while she’s in the cage with target training so she’s more responsive. Find out her favourite treat and reserve it for training and bonding only etc
I have lots of other videos on conures that may be useful!
Hello everyone i have hand fed 3 cockatiels previously but that was when they were really young and they had the time to bond with me also i know that hand feeding is not acceptable in the bird community but the bird i have right now is above a month old and was plucked by his parents he was given to me by a non responsible breeder who doesn't even know his age The chick looks to be a month or above a month old and he is weaning and nibbles at seeds for the moment i am feeding him 2 times a day. And now i should get to my point . I want To Ask that how should i tame him? The chick is getting a bit comfortable with me and lets me pet him(for a minute or two thats it) and Also eats the formula quite well from a spoon with a beak shape made by me. how should i tame him? he has a really low voice when begging for feed should i refrain from giving him feed unless he begs loudly?(as parents do) or should i just go with it and feed him? my previous cockatiel just wanted to stay with me the whole day and i want the same reaction from this lutino red eyes cockatiel can you all give me some tips for taming it?
just for context i go to school for 6 hours and my previous Gray cockatiel would scream with joy when i came back and he would LIFT THE DOOR OPEN TO COME TO ME ..... will this cockatiel also have the same bond with me? because it is nearing its self feed age and also at what age should i restrict his outdoor access (i have an open house as where every door is open sometimes but i keep him on my desk in my room)
100th
iker
I see!
Hello I have a green cheek that I love more than anything in this world , but i cant stop his biting for no apparent reason ( seriously ) he will just be snuggling on my hand while i am laying down watching tv , he will then just out of the blue bite down so hard on my finger , arm etc my wife and i are getting in our 60;s the bites are starting to bruise I just dont know what to do
I will never get rid of him but it has to stop i have worked with the little guy for 3 yrs of this he has a vocabulary of way over 20 words i just dont know what to do for him
Hey there,
Have you watched my other videos on biting and more specifically conure biting and behaviour?
Have you tried soft targeting with him to help teach him to reduce his bite force?
Some of my other videos should help but if you really need dedicated help you could reach out to our consultation business to look into it in detail!
yes i have , this literally just happens no warning signs etc i know his behaviors better than mine he will fall asleep in my hand wake up , look at me then bite down like jaws
@@TheParrotTeacher Also , i really cant find a reward because there is nothing that he is crazy about he is spoiled rotten ,,,,,,,if i put him in his cage he screams for mommy or calls me by name saying....i love you ....then i feel so guilty, i let him right back out
@@carpunky that will require a little training and patience from you to fix!
Treat motivation is really useful for dealing with this kind of thing!
