My 2 months old cockatiel learned to fly to me in half a day. His wings were clipped (3 feathers were cut short on each side) but he can still fly. He is really smart and learns fast.
This was very helpful, I'm still in the process of getting my budgie conformable on my hand but once he is I'll be sure to train him recall. He's already learnt target training, spin and to shake my finger so I don't think he'll find it too difficult :) would you be able to do a video on how to get your bird onto pellets? Bill has started to eat his veg consistently now but won't touch his pellets :(
Hi Mary, I'm so glad you found it helpful! Yes, I will definitely create a video on transitioning over to a pellet diet! And sounds like Bill is a smart little birdie, excited for him to learn recall, it's going to be super fun for the both of you!
This is one of the best videos i have found for flight training birds. I never even thought about training my bird to fly back to the perch or around corners. Another helpful thing would be to teach your bird how to fly into their cage because i know my bird has struggled to do that.
my bird came clipped, and now, she only has a few more clipped feathers that she needs to grow back, and can fly almost all over the place. she’s been flying into high places like the curtain rod and some hanging lights and not knowing how to get down, so i’ve started teaching her to come to me on command. this video is easy to follow and memorize.
My quakers are 8 weeks old and have been flying for about 2 weeks. 1 got out and it took several hours to get her to come back. I'm so glad I found your channel and I will definitely be flight training my girls!
Yes, I am definitely teaching my bird how to fly, and potty train is definitely the most important ones! Can't wait for him to get there! So excited for him hehe
gonna flight train my bird rn, he’s been clipped when i got him and i’ve been waiting for him to grow his flight wings now and it’s been 11 months now and he should be able to fly hopefully
My conure is growing his in too, he’s getting better like he can fly up now a little bit and farther distances but he still has some growing to do. He can only fly when he jumps off of his cage since it gives him a good drop but I’m excited for him to actually learn to fly since he keeps flying onto the floor and screams for me to pick him up lol
@Gissell Gomez - Oh my goodness, it took 11 months for the flight feathers to grow back? :( I got my budgie (recently) at a Petco and I asked how long it would take for his feathers to grow and the employee (who obviously really didn't know) told me it would take one month. I knew that wasn't true because I had researched enough to know that the feathers take a while to re-grow. I was thinking it might be more like 3 months or so. Yikes! I can tell that being clipped is making him even more scared to leave his cage :(.
@@ESLteacher62 sorry this is probably super late but itll probably take 2-4 months for your budgie to regrow their wings ! obviously, the bigger the bird the longer it takes because its longer feathers, yknow? i hope your lil bird is doing better now!
Great tutorial thank you. I have a patagonian conure less than 2 years old. Tamed but not trained. I've had him for a couple of weeks and I'm starting formal recall training as of today.
You do very good job with your channel!!this days I watch many of your videos and you helped me a lot..this Monday I will get my green cheek conure (cinnamon) and I prepare myself with your advices..(sorry for my low level English 😊 and greetings from Greece 🇬🇷)
Ty so much I have been teaching my bird for months and she haven’t known anything but onn even I watched this she has been doing the same thing ur bird was doing ty I’m crying 🥺🥲
I had a female conure named Lola for 9 years from age 9 to age 18 she was the sweetest and mix most moody little lady. I am learning so much from your channel and it is making me realize that doing basic research wasn’t enough and that I needed to do more. Lola passed away from the Smokey air during the wildfires in Oregon last year but since then I did more research and also got employed so I could provide more for my pets and I ended up buying a little sun conure in March this year and I named him Frankie he’s a sweet spastic guy I love him to death! He is my best friend and I am learning so much from your videos about toys and foraging and training it is so helpful! My boy is still growing in his flight wings but I will be coming back to your channel for sure once he grows in his wings!! I just wanted to say Thankyou because even though I have more knowledge than when I had my previous bird there is always more to learn and I’m just so thankful I came across your channel! I hope you and your birdies have a wonderful day or night and I thank you all for showing talent and demonstrating tricks and tips for us all!
I'm certainly going to try this method. When my GCC was very young, he's 2 now... he would come to me when I called. Now he tends to come when he wants to or if he wants some fuss. I know he loves sunflower seeds 😄
We are enjoying training our new crimson bellied conure, with your help...thank you!...we have her on a healthy diet, no seeds in the cage...my question is, when we are training and using a mix of millet/sunflower/safflower how much is too much? I see you are using lots of seeds in this video...how much would you get through in a training session? Thanks
@@saifworld1576 @Saif world15 thank you! my birds are gcc so they would probably enjoy something like some millet, safflower or sunflower seeds, although been wanting to use the healthiest since i feel like during training i give them way too many treats (they eat them SO quickly) and i dont want to fatten them up, im not sure which of the three is the best for them to have large quantities of though
Your videos are the best, im getting a little collared dove tomorrow that i rescued, it lost one of its eyes unfortunately so that's why i decided to keep it. It's still very young and otherwise healthy and lively now that it got treatment. I'm a little nervous, ofc im not expecting it to behave like a more common pet bird, but I'm hoping it will at least eat from my hand one day! But I'm so scared of not taking care if it properly :(
i hope you start uploading videos again :( im a new bird owner and your videos have been so helpful! i hope you and your birds are doing great! thank you for the videos!
This helped alot i want to own my own pet store one day and I have a great name already and everything I have all the animals ❤ and I just need the funds been working but do u know if u could do this from home if so I'd buy a house and call.it that
Wow that's real good thank you I'm thinking of getting a parrot for a first bird in a couple of months to for a company bird as quite lonely . If you have any suggestions on a colourful parrot that is less noisy (not that that matters) please reply.
I love your videos, they’re very easy to follow and entertaining. Thanks so much! I have two green cheeks too but one of them is disabled. He’s such a sweet baby regardless 🥰
Thank you! Your instructions are really clear and easy to follow. At what age would be appropriate to start? My cockatiel is at about 5 weeks+ and is not fully weaned yet.... so he hasn't really recognised treats yet...
I've been trying to get my green cheek to take that initial hop from the perch but he just won't do it. He is fine while he can stretch to reach me, but once he has to hop, he won't come to me. I've been trying for weeks now. Any advice?
try putting your index finger and middle finger pointing towards your bird and make them walk across the two fingers very very slowly increase the gap each time it worked with my tiel
yes that is a wonderful idea! definitely try increasing the gap a little at a time, you could also try switching up the treats too to something he absolutely LOVES and use it when he needs to make that hop
Hello! I was wondering if you are posting anything new? Because I find these videos so helpful and was sad when the last video you posted was 4 months ago. :(
I had got my cockatiel when it was like 11-12 months old...and since then its been like 2-3 months i have them...they climb on my finger but the problem here is the male climbs my finger but the female just doesnt...she bites me and i dont understand what should i do? And also as i move my finger slowly towards them still they get scared of me please help me someone🥹🥲....also as i try giving them a treat from my hand they still get scared
feed it and be around the bird a lot as a baby and when it’s a fledgling teach it how to step up and when it starts flying teach it how to fly to your hands
I really needed to see this video so I'm glad I found your channel. My cockatiel was clipped when I bought him/her and I have been debating on weather to continue doing this or let him become a flyer. Here is my dilemma, I am so afraid he will hurt himself and land where he shouldn't as he has landed on the stove but it was not on. After watching this video I have learned that flying is something I need to work with him on but my other problem is that he is CLINGY and doesn't like standing on anything but me or my son...help! He flies reckless right now, I guess because he has to learn and learn the layout of our house?
My sun conure has just got her flight feathers back from first clipping...she has been flying back and forth from cage to me for a week now...into other rooms and around corners...I saved on treats...but I still worry if she ever zooms up a tree if I could call her down
My parrotlet comes to me when he wants to.. but he still bites. I think he thinks that he’s the .wader of the flock- you’ve got such a great bond with your birds! Have you got advice?
Pineapple is so cute
My 2 months old cockatiel learned to fly to me in half a day. His wings were clipped (3 feathers were cut short on each side) but he can still fly. He is really smart and learns fast.
That's AMAZING most birds that get their wings clipped most don't learn and can't fly after❤❤
@@destinybass9610they can most definitely learn how to fly, even if they had their wings clipped. It's instinct that's driven into them.
This was very helpful, I'm still in the process of getting my budgie conformable on my hand but once he is I'll be sure to train him recall.

@@FlyingFids thank you so much, I want him to be as healthy and happy as possible :)
What do I do, my bird is bump's its head sometimes when it flys.
How am I going to train him to recall if he can't fly very well???
I do I do???
@@FlyingFids - I feel a bit embarrassed asking but what does "Fids"
stand for? Thanks in advance!
@@FlyingFids is your bird clipped because I'm buying a bird clip or not

I love this video, very informative 🥺
Hello
Excellent love your humour
I liked your use of humor. Fun to watch.

Incredible! Thank you!

I have a pineapple conure too and she also LOVES safflower seeds!
Love this video and your personality is so stinking cute! 🥰
Yes i am going to practice what you taught me right now!!! THANK YOU AGAIN
thats great! have fun! 😊
Did it work?? How long did it take to get as good as the bird in the video??
A few days for mine but all birds like humans learn at a different rate
This was really helpful I’m gonna start training my bird how to fly
Excellent training guide really helped 😊

When giving sunflower as treat do you peel it for them or whole?
i give it to them whole! they really enjoy breaking the shell to get to the inside, its fun and engaging for them! 😊

I HOPE U GET YOUR 100K PLAYBUTTON AND 1M ❤️❤️❤️❤️💕
We don't have bird pellets in our country I feed then chop 3 times and they eat seeds the other days (I have 2 lovebirds ) is it healthy ?

Super
Great explain
Thankksssss
Excellent
I have been wanting a birdie, but of course I am waiting a while. How much should a bird eat day?? + how many times a day
This is very informative video 🧐 🤓
I am going right now to do some solo practice on what you showed in this video. I am doing SOLO practice cause I don't have a parrot yet. :(
omg thank you this helps a lot
Your videos are awesome. Thank you sm
I love your videos, they’re very easy to follow and entertaining. Thanks so much! I have two green cheeks too but one of them is disabled. He’s such a sweet baby regardless 🥰
Hi great content. Can you film on how to tackle parrot with feather pecking behaviour.thank you.
This was so helpful..thank you so much 💙
Thank you! Your instructions are really clear and easy to follow. At what age would be appropriate to start? My cockatiel is at about 5 weeks+ and is not fully weaned yet.... so he hasn't really recognised treats yet...
i suggest waiting until they are a fledgling or until they are fully weaned ^^

very very slowly increase the gap each time
it worked with my tiel
yes that is a wonderful idea! definitely try increasing the gap a little at a time, you could also try switching up the treats too to something he absolutely LOVES and use it when he needs to make that hop
Any luck yet? Keep working. This is such an important skill. Once you get that initial hop you're on the way. How old is and is he /was he clipped?
Hi.. normally how long to train them fly back to you? I dont have parrot, but i wanted to buy 1.. it looks fun..
Hello! I was wondering if you are posting anything new? Because I find these videos so helpful and was sad when the last video you posted was 4 months ago. :(
Hi. Do you give Pineapple a verbal cue to come to you?'Come' or 'fly' etc.?
