- I got my baby lovebird (8-9 week old) last week. He is a beautiful Dutch Blue Peach-faced Lovebird. He is not tame but it is good that he is not biting :) Here is steps and results of hand taming in the first 5 days:
Day 1-2
Take your lovebird out of its cage. You should never try to work with a bird inside his cage. At the beginning, it will be hard to approach him, he will fly away even if I put my hand close to the cage. I find it a lot easier to use a perch.
Once you get him out of the cage, for the first 2 days, I will just keep talking to him, and he will start singing right away once I play some videos with the sounds of the other lovebirds. Just let him get used to my voice and also enjoy the time outside the cage.
Repeat 3-5 times a day for 10-20 minutes.
Day 3
Once you get some trust from him in the first 2 days, now you can start try petting him on his head, cheek or even beak, they loves being scratched on their neck.
Repeat 3-5 times for 10-15 minutes each time.
Day 4
Now they should be very comfortable sitting and eating on your hand, you can teach them how to do step-up : Slowly and gently push your finger against the bird's lower chest, right above his legs.
Reward the bird’s accomplishments. Bird will learn to associate hand = food.
Repeat 2-3 times for 10-15 minutes each time.
Day 5
I am surprised to realize that on day 5, he will start flying to me.

I have a question
How did you type with no fingers?
Finger i said... Not fingerss!!!

Ikr, One Time My Lovebird Got Injured On His Wing By The Ceiling Fan And I Just Wanted To See Did He Get Seriously Injured..BUT OH LORD IT SCREAMED AND BIT MY FINGER OF
i feel you......... i feel u
All mine does is sit in the corner of the cage and scream
Mine bites everything it sees tbh. Leaf, wall, table, finger. Anything
@@yae986 lmao mine bites me sometimes
Its no joke when a lovebird bites
Anime Yume no it is a joke lol. i bought my yellow love bird from 1 and a half years now. its bite is sooo normal.
They look kinda small so not sure about that, but I had a Green Cheek Conure that drew blood every time all the time.
Anime Yume IT FRIKEN HURTS
swiftbear how odd! my conure never draws blood.
Anime Yume depends females are more agressive.
This bird is a paid actor...
True
Ananya Chanda 😂😂
Lmao
Lol
Lol 🥴🤣🤣
Impossible. If I approach my hand to the cage, they come for my flesh. Your lovebird was hand raised, he was just scared of you.
Incarna Dude! you have a tamed lovebird(s) by yourself! they love to bite and play with you.
LtRipley hahah
My lovebird isnt aggressive which is weird or maybe hes just an intellectual
Well small tip, you mentioned them. If they are more than one you'll always be left getting yourself hurt, so if you have one bird its really very easy to tame him.
That's exactly it. A scared lovebird won't even let your hand close one bit before they start flying away. I tried to tame one but it was impossible. I only got him to stand on my shoulder but I would not dare to try to grab him cause he would fly away instantly and trust me when I say I tried!!
0:36 my bird will rip off my finger if I do that 2 him
MARIA ALFARO i freaking know right
MARIA ALFARO same
BOTH of my lovebirds will bite my hand off.
MARIA ALFARO hahaha i agree
Hahahaha yeah mine to she would attack me!
MARIA ALFARO air have the same color bird omg and it is a lovebird I love birds mine is trained it stands on my head and dances
My lovebird is a genius. We taught him how to say if yes or no with his head. He can dance In a weird way. He can fly very fast
Gooood my love bird needs some teachings from ur
I guess that the discovery of the last fact was not planned .
how to teach yes or no?
Akosi Weng I was thinking the same thing birds don’t understand the human language they only understand the tone and anger/happiness
@@davidstrah4526 correct.
When I went to the store we went to a room to look/play with the bird and within 30 seconds he/she flew on my head and crawled all over me and seeing how on the first of getting the bird it would barely touch her makes me really happy that my bird likes me! ☺
+Random Human On The Internet 💚
This love bird in the video is already tame . You can't even get close to the non tame love bird.
Not the fact , but I have wild ones non tamed , when I enter my hand they are scared but the don't come to rip off my flesh
Where as lutino lovebird , she was with me since 6 months but now shes over a year , sge doesnt bite when shes outside the cage but she is self concious about her cage
Life's full of surprizes
You were stroking your lovebird, on it's back, from head to tail. You will get away with doing that, on a male lovebird and on an immature female.
However, when you do that with a mature, female lovebird, or even an immature bird, close to maturity, you will sexually excite her, which will likely trigger her nesting instinct and thus, her egg production.
This is because stroking her from head to tail is exactly what a male lovebird does when copulating with the female.
To put it in human terms, stroking her like that, isn't just foreplay, it is part of actual intercourse, to the female lovebird. As an egg is released from the ovaries, in a human female, and travels to the wall of the uterus, sexually exciting your female lovebird will cause her body to release her eggs and then further develop them.
Triggering her to produce eggs will happen even if you do not have a male lovebird with her. The eggs she produces will, of course, be infertile.
She will then go through all the stages of laying s clutch of eggs. You will have to allow her to sit upon the eggs for 3 to 4 weeks, or until she loses interest. So she will stay in her nest almost 24/7, only coming out to eat, drink, defecate and if you are very lucky, she may interact with you for a minute or two.
If you take her eggs away from her too soon, she will, as with a laying hen, keep producing more eggs. Each clutch of eggs will take more nutrients from her body, more calcium from her bones. Vitamins and minerals, that would have gone to her body, will go into making the egg's shells, instead.
If you are a breeder, you will know to include more vitamins, minerals and calcium, in her diet but the vast majority, of those who watch this video, will not know to do that. So, with each clutch of eggs, her body will be depleted of the very things she needs to have a healthy body and a long life.
Isn't it amazing that just by petting your lovebird, as you would a cat, you can cause all of that to happen?
As with any pet you have, they have things you should and shouldn't do.
A parrot isn't a cat.
Granted, it is nice to cuddle with both a parrot and a cat but as with any pet you care for, you have to learn what you should and shouldn't do, in order to keep them healthy. You also should learn those things, before you teach your bad habits to others, via a video on TH-cam
Leobullet1 thx. i read the whole thing and its very helpful.
Leobullet1 thank you so much for the tips. I'm getting two lovebirds in some time and I'm quite nervous...😅
Leobullet1 ohhhh well but my cockatiel has been laying eggs for 7yrs and ur right she just comes out to eat drink and play and than she goes away. Even now i have a male for 3 yrs her eggs still dont hatch and shes a plucker her head is bald and so is her under the wings and neck and stomach any ideas wat should i do
Leobullet1 bird thinks I'm a mate though...
I don't know why ;-;
Leobullet1 the point is that stroking her like that turns the bird on and it will lay eggs that are infertile and you need to feed her more calcium while she lays eggs.
Ive been a Lovebird breeder for 20 years. This is not the way to tame a lovebird. There are 3 stages of taming them.
You're main objective is to build trust this is true, but using a perch like that will scare a non tamed lovebird. Here are some tips:
If you buy a Lovebird try to buy one WITHOUT its wings clipped. Clipping the wings makes training them a lot more difficult since flight is a main defense of birds. Take that away and they become very shy and scared of human touch.
1. First stage is to use a towel to handle your lovebird. This stage can last 3 weeks. The idea here is you want to create a safe way to show the Lovebird you are not going to harm them. Every day during this stage you must handle them at least for 10 minutes or so. Eventually the Lovebird will stop fighting you to be handled in the Towel. Then you are ready for step 2
2. Begin to allow the Lovebird to come out of the cage itself. Handle it for a few minutes then let it walk around your house a bit. Get in comfortable with its environment. This stage could last another few weeks.
3. Now its time to remove the towel. You too will be tested because you still might think your Lovebird will bite you. If you did steps 1 & 2 correct, you will find they actually will be quite docile. From this point on you can train them to sit on your shoulder and learn tricks.
How do you handle them with the towel? He just flies away when I try to handle him.
Does taming also works if you have 2 of them? I dont want to have only one.
It does but if you are buying an already mated pair it will be a bit harder.
Robert Esposito great advise. but if you throw a towel over the bird, will this not scare the bird?? thx
No. Remember that a bird has eyes on its sides so it cannot see the towel coming from the top. When I say throw a towel I don't mean fling it. I mean think of it like a light toss. Once its covered with the towel you will see it calms down quickly.
he already started off a little game though. It's completely different when you buy from a breeder who doesn't handle them. To me, he looked tame already he was just gaining trust for you. He wasn't biting of completely freaking out (at least w what you showed LOL). I have 4 and 9 babies on the way 😄
Micaila Bra
James Dallessandro how did you tame her? I just got mine and she is like this rn
drugs_are_yummy I tamed (kind of) an Amazon like this. He would bite my hands and move away from me, but by the end he would let me pet around his head and touch his beak. What I did was that I hand fed him a bunch of treats, such as cucumber, chili and broccoli, I just kept it exciting and new. I also touched him gently with a stick, and he let me pet him with the stick around his head and under his beak. My advice for you is to not react when the bird bites you, just let him at it, an Amazon is a lot bigger than a lovebird and I wasn’t hurt. But whenever he stepped away from me I would withdraw too. That way he knew he could escape the situation if he felt too uncomfortable, and he learned that biting wasn’t the way. :) I also advice teaching it to step up onto a stick and then putting it down again, and chatting with it a bunch. Birds love noise! Making a lot of noise signals to them that you aren’t a predator, since in the wild a predator would usually stay quiet. Avoid quick movements, remember that you move like a predator, and the bird might feel really uncomfortable and threatened. Also make sure only to touch it if it allows you to. Forcing contact with the bird will NOT make it trust you. Don’t touch it’s toes when it’s crawling on the cage, that’s not allowing you to touch it. Focus on positive interactions. I would sit for hours on end in front of the cage, chatting with the bird, singing for him. Sometimes he would even join. :) and remember to be patient.
@@knogne5073 I was going to say the exact same thing. I think you not reacting assures them that you're not a predator and trying to hurt them. So if u keep on rubbing when they bite you they will stop and calm down.
raise them from 2-3weeks old they will be very attached to you, some even free flight them with the proper training
edit:I have a vid of my hand fed bird
During the first day I got him home, I was so exited and tried to let him out, I think he got so scared and was flying around, he ended up hiding under the desk, which is very hard for me to reach him, takes me 1 hr to get him out. So I would suggest the new bird owners try not to take the bird out of their cage during the first day, just let them get used to you and your home first, and try to get them a small, fairly empty room, always make sure that there are no distractions such as dogs/cats moving around.
Rebecca Walton cruel
Yeah ya think? poor bird
i had the same thing happen to me my lovebird got scared and started flying around the room and hid in a crack (i easily got her out though)
Thats why you clip the wings and bird proof your house
carly 88 then how do you get them to perch on your shoulder
wow you make this look so easy! Usually if you get your lovebird from a breeder that is HAND FED/HAND RAISED they will be way more easier to train. My lovebird is a dutch color too and he is the sweetest boy ever.
Instructions unclear. My lovebird is now a rabid dog.
imgaine you're lovebird just starts barking XD
Everytime he sits on my hand he poops 😂😂😂
i feel sorry for you...... damn
Same he do like that with me but not everytime
No way this is possible. Your lovebird was definitely hand fed by a rescuer when it was small and then it somehow got scared of humans and now you are making them less afraid. If it was a natural lovebird then it would be ripped the blood out of my finger
if it is female your relation could be so hard 😃 my bird which female. When she angry bite, when she happy also bite.
Hand raised lovebirds are the best. The journey from a baby to a grown lovebird is amazing, no cap!
Nope wrong i have had my lovebird for 2 months and she doesnt let anyone touch her and when she bites she bites rlly hard she already but me once and i startded to bleed
;w; my lovebird is a finger killer
Lol
Same 🥺 it’s so sad bc all I wanna do it love them
And you don’t even have lovebird
Heres a tip guys.
If you wanna tame a lovebird you have to not look at it because it will think your a oredator trying to murder so don't look at your bird
Same my mom bites by the lovebird
I have had my lovebird 13 years now, he was 5 when I got him....his name is Chirpy....he can chirp for food, water, the window, lights, oven....it is amazing how intelligent these birds really are. I have spent hundreds of hours with him. I can fall asleep on the couch and wake and guess who is tucked under my neck. Chirpy comes to the call 90% of the time if I leave his cage open. I would have never thought I would develop the relationship I have with a bird, in fact my bird has been more fun than some cats and dogs. All these folks who say you are doing the training thing wrong....don't listen...as long as you keep your bird fed, watered and loved you will do just fine the same way I have. Remember I said he was 5 when I got him....your bird doesn't train in just 4 or 5 days but much like us will train well over the days, months, years that you spend with them.
Well, i have a problem, My lovebird is very aggressive. I just recently got it, and im not sure where to start. My lovebird keeps screaming when someone is just passing by, and it makes it very hard to tame the bird. Please Help.
Maybe you can try feeding it treats by hand. You also need to make sure your bird can trust you to not touch it when your near the cage and make sure they are comfortable with you around.
I remember that the first night when I took him back from the breeder he was too nervous, he was screaming and flying around inside his cage when we approach to his cage. I did some research online , as many people suggested, during the first 2 days, I just took a chair, sit in the room beside his cage, talk to him, play some music or video of the other parrot/lovebird singing. I noticed that everytime he heard the other lovebirds singing, he will start singing right away. Once he get some trust from you, you can take him out using a perch, I find him getting a lot more calm when he is outside the cage/on my hand, i would recommend taking him to another room (with no or few furniture) where he cannot see his cage, otherwise he will always want to fly back to his cage, also make sure that there are no distractions such as pets or children running around. During the time he is outside the cage, you can try feed him and give him some treats on your hand, let him associate hand with food/treats :). After few days, he should be comfortable siting and eating on your hand. Hope that will help. :)
I tried letting him out and hand feeding him. Sadly it did not turn out so great, I calming set my hand on top of the cage laying it flat, with the treats on top. The bird was too afraid of my hand and so it flew back into the cage, pacing back and forth. And, i did do this in a room with no furniture. After this, i left the room and the bird went back out onto the top perch. So I just decided to grab a chair and sit with the bird, talking to it, and reading a book aloud, so that the bird could get comfortable with me. I'll try to hand feed it again, if I notice the bird is relaxed and calm whenever I'm around him. Thanks :) Hopefully I can be able to tame my Lovebird.
Maybe you can try let him sit on your finger, at a distance (arm distance), don't put him too close to you, dont do anything, dont try to touch him. wait for 5-10 mins, you should notice that he will be calming down and becoming more comfortable as time passes, once you think he is calm, you can try move you finger a little bit closer to you, wait for another 5-10 minutes, move a little closer again, let him know that it’s okay and he doesn’t have to be afraid, repeat this several times a day, each time you should be able to let him sit closer to you, as time passes and he will realize that your hand will not hurt him. Good luck:)
unless if it is a baby. if not , you will never tame it just watch out so it will not bite your hand off. mine is a monster ,her name is tasmanian , but her babies are fine tame cute,affectionate
Like if you have a lovebird
Ommmmg thank you so much today it landed on my window and I was wondering what kind of bird it is.. Cuz it's soo beautiful.. It's the saaame as yours!
Wow
NOTICE BEFORE WATCHING A VIDEO: This only works on hand-fed lovebirds, but not the ones from the pet shop.
Funny story:
So i was close too earning
My lovebirds trust he wasn't scared of me. But one day my sister approached the cage. And tried too touche it...... Let's just say..
I had to earn there trust again.....
Thanks sis🙄
Rip you T-T
My lovebird is just chilling on My head and sometimes iT is sleeping in My hair
Ur lovebird was hand raised it's not easy taming a lovebird
Bird looks young and wings are clipped which makes taming a lot easier. Can you do a video with a mature bird with its wings unclipped?
I don't have a video but am currently taming a mature pair.
@@fishfan2 omg please do you have any advices? My lovebirds are so scared of me :( and i'm afraid i will never be able to tame them
@@mihaescuoana7099 just place some food /seeds in your palm and go near by them. Keep on trying...call them by their names.
@@nak141 hey thank you!! i've spent a lot of time with my birds since then and they come in my hand to eat, but are still a little bit scared when i try to pet them =/ hopefully they will trust me enough in the future :D
@@mihaescuoana7099 it takes a while. Keep trying for weeks/months. Slowly they will get used to ur hand.
They love to scratch their neck.
My bird comes to me only for this or to sleep on the shoulder.
Try nodding with your index finger like you want to scratch them and they will be submissive.
They even rest their beak on the table or ur body closing their eyes starting to doze
This looks exactly like my bird. I literally feel like im watching him.
Sameee
Basically, birds are tsunderes LMAO
My lovebird livie (make) strayed chirping when he heard yours!
Got a supposedly hand raised lovebird a few days ago but she just seems terrified of everything and all the time is on high alert - I can’t even get near her. Can a bird like this ever warm up and become friendly??
No idea and same question.. is it better now?
My lovebird will cut off my finger if I try to tuch him 😢
My lovebirds dont bite unless you forcefully grab them, but none of these steps dont work for mine. They are so scared
My Yellow LoveBird would just fly away!
yea mine too i cant even pet/hold them XD
Mist_Wolf _ me too but, try to sit next to his/her cage and read a book
yo mine too he is too scared
Mist_Wolf _ i have a yellow love bird too it would also just fly away..
I have a yellow one too, and it keeps on flying away.
My dad has a iviary that contains lovebirds, parekeets, and cockatails the sound of the birds are great for sleeping I am taking care of a expensive lovebird orphan from the iviary
It is so impossible with mines. They don’t bite or attack or anything as some people wrote here, but they’re totally like “thanks for asking but we prefer play by ourselves” I tried a lot of methods, but no matter how much I love to kiss their head, I’d rather let them be happy in their own way! :))
That looks exactly like my bird!
2:33 my love bird will eat food and spit it out I’m like, what are you doing because they leave a huge mess on the floor
Gaming With zuly that’s how seeds get spread in the wild :) it’s not very helpful in the house though haha
A lovebird that enjoys scritches
when i did the same my bird fly in room madley.
I feel like I got the best bird ever. My lovebird wasn't scared of the 100km trip to home and on the second day he was jumping around the cage so I let him out a bit. He flew a bit and just ended up sitting on my finger. Although he did occasionally fly onto a curtain or something, he was still pretty comfortable with me around him
DA UNO you got a pretty great bird.
how to scratch a lovebird ...
Wait that's not the case for me. My bird's don't run away from my hand , they run towards it 😂❤️.
MY LOVEBIRD IS A PSYCHO I CANT PET HIM HE KEEPS BITITNG ME
buzz at least your getting used to the bite. Im scared to even touch his cage
some birds dont like being pet,, it is normal dont worry :D
he may not ever like you, so just feed him his fav food from your hand so he has a positive association with you. it could be a start of something
You make this look so easy. I purchased my lovebird and she was supposed to be hand fed but she was completely wild since the day I brought her home. She’s now 8 months old and is still just as scared of me as she was on day one. She won’t even come out of her cage if I leave it open. She used to but I could never get her back in. I’m sad for her and feel like she’s lonely. I just don’t know what to do
Hi! I had a similar problem with my lovebird, she didn't want to be touched at all and was a very skittish bird. It takes a lot of time, energy and patience to get your bird used to you. It took me about a whole year till I could pet my bird. I would suggest making her used to eating treats from your hand. Hold some millet between your fingers and see if she can built up the courage to take it. It is a slow process, but you will get there!
Good job on wasting my time!
Ikr
Cakey Slicey wth is wrong with u this vid can help people make there lovebirds to like them if there mean like mine i have 2 and they dont like me so ik that its so boring but it helps people like me
Yet u bothered commenting
I remember when I had mine, I just grabed him, while he was trying to get away from me, kissed him and in a week he was flying in my shoulder lol❤❤❤
lizbeth santiago good for you. Normally grabbing a bird is like a predator bird grabbing a meal. So normally that kind of action can make it harder for a bird to warm up to you. Others might not be so lucky.
Oh my goodness! Thank you so much for making this video, this helped so much. My sister was pretty impatient so I want to tame my lovebirds a little quickly, I found this video and it really helped. Thank you so much! It really helped me an my sister get used my lovebird :D
you should buy a lovebird and hand feed it till its older, that way you form a bond with each other, its really easy to tame it that way!
I always taking care my bird even i'm kid
I'm a kid too
Que pajarito tan majo / What a lovely bird
I've had a love bird for about about a week or so, and it's still a little scared of me. I will consider all of these tips, thank you!
pls dont, check out ElleAndTheBirds
@@jajdjiofjdowepwl she did so many things wrong actually xD starting from massaging it’s back
This is so unrealistic. My birds aren't completelytamed, I got them for about 5 month now and I'm still progressing. I can kinda feed them with my hands now but if I go near them with my hands they just freak out. It's normal bc they're not used to it. Your bird probably is,thats why its so calm. But people please be patient until your bird is ready, otherwise it will only be afraid of you or hate you. Also you should not clip birds, flying is important to them. If you want to tame them, just be patient.
I bought a used lovebird. He is about 1 year old (according to previous owners) and was rehomed 3 times. He is very smart, but has very little trust. He will eat from the tip of my fingers, but other than that is very scared of hands.
I'm seeing progress, but it is very slow (3 months in).
David Gardiner ‘a used lovebird’ Dude wtf it’s not an object
Lol "used"
Oh my word. It makes sense that he would have very little trust, being rehomed three times in a year would really make you not trust your own environment. I hope the little guy does all right.
He does alright.
The bird is no longer scared of hands. While he has his own food bowl, I hand feed him everyday. At first, he would only take seeds that I held at the tip of my fingers. Now, he can eat from an open hand. I've managed to get him to put one feet on my finger, but he still refuses to step up.
I've managed, with moderate success, to teach him to target the tip of a stick. Inside the cage, he goes for it. Outside, not so much. Well... a little.
He has grown increasingly territorial. Inside the cage, he will be quick to bite. That being said, he will not bite if I'm offering food. Also, he doesn't bite outside the cage.
I don't know how to stop this behavior. I'm positive its agression... he draws blood. And I react to the pain by moving my fingers, he doubles down and bites harder. I've tried rubber gloves (like doctor gloves)... be he doesn't care. He'll bite regardless.
Hey Kim. I am fully aware he is not an object.
Thank you this will help
We will buy two lovebird on this week,and this helped me
I have two lovebirds ( not knowing either gender) and if I put my hand in the cage of the one he bites me so hard I bleed to the point where I'm scared of him. The other is scared of me. I need some help and I don't know what to do. I don't own gloves I'm to young to go buy them on my own and they are both learning from each other
Lowlifelemon Universe if it's young then you can take it but if it's older then 3 year it will be difficult try clipping it wings then after a week try taking one bird outside then leave the other one inside the cage so they won't interrupt each other carry a bird out side with a towel then put it some were hi I put mine on my car trunk and taught it to step up slowly by slowly but when it steps up say the word step up so it could learn then after 20 mins of training outside you could try and carry it with your finger inside to its cage or if it's still scared put grave it with a towel..... hoped it helped I did it with my budgie not to long ago and it's ok .....hope it helped :)
go to the pet shop and buy a lovebird, do the steps exactly as this video instructing you.
in 5 days , with some luck, you will end up with a crooked finger, chopped off ear, and if you wanna go for a kiss, you can kiss your lips good bye while you at it :))))
I'm only here for the cute bird
This lovebird is already tamed! No way would be that easy!
What is the kind of this parrot?
Peach-faced Lovebird
carly 88 no i dont think so its face aint peach face mine was a peach face and the face was pinkish
carly 88 this lovebirds face is grey
pusheen cake lovebirds can have many colors, not just one.
momma 4na ik but thisone is called the grey headed lovebird not the peach face one mine is a peach face and her face was clearly pinkish but tgisone is the grey headed lovebird and its face is gray
Just wanna say for me it really helped to let her out. Until this day shes scared to get anywhere near my hand when she's in the cage. As soon as I let her out, she'll even fly across the room onto my hand. I guess she just feels safer that way.
this baby bird looks like a couple months old. its always best to train them young plus have their wings trim. makes it easier to tame so they wont fly away. i have 4 five months old and 4 around 2 months old. i didnt really have the time to hand fed them so they are a little naugthy, not listening to my commands, but other than that i can pick them up to sit on my finger. the trick is, dont let them see their cage or other birds in the room. they tends to listen better.
My 2 lovebirds are maniacs if I get them out of there cage they go flying everywhere (that’s why I got a butterfly net) the butterfly net is a soft material so It does not hurt the butterfly’s because they are so delicate so it won’t hurt them c:
Sunday october 4 2020 i am 13 and today me and my dad went to get a pet lovebird and it is 5 months old its a male it bonded with me the first day i got him i was scared to grab him cuz my dad said he bite but i used a snow glove then took it off and he climbs on my hand head chest on the first day we got him at teh flea market best pet ever yay
My lovebird bite is insane
5 days is a LONG way from typical for taming any bird. You clearly had a head start with the bird being tame.
For some Reston looking at the bird in the video makes me feel colorblind.
My lovebird is VERY skittish if i put anything within 2 feet of him he starts freaking out and screaming
Guess what, i tamed them for 3 days instead of 5 days, but i have like 12 of them because i fed them alot
This worked! Mine just stepped up on to my hand!
Mine I had to force him the first day, now both my love birds won’t leave me alone.
I've had my blue masked lovebird for a day and he is already eating from my hand!
He also has never actually bit me yet, most of the time he just nibbles on my fingers and it doesnt hurt at all.
I have two love birds as well and i really don’t know anything about them. One is a male but the other is said to be female, but she keeps getting attacked by the male and i read something on google that females don’t get attacked by the males. She also got her wings cut by the previous owner and i thought that the wings will grow back after a few weeks, but it’s been months now and she still can’t fly. I’m getting worried and stressed about my birds. The female bird also has some bald areas on her body wich is concerning me really bad. I think it’s because of the stress and i also think that she pulls it out by herself. Even though we have them for months now they still bite us, the female bites the hardest. My mom gets bitten less by them wich I don’t know why when i forcefully pet my male bird everyday. When i first got the birds from my aunt, i thought they were gonna be chill and playful instead of really scared and biting us. I’m also worried that the wings of the female won’t grow back, was it maybe cut wrong? We release the birds everyday in the living room, the male flies everywhere and the female climbs on to a lamp on the ground. When they get close to eachother, the female tries to get attention from the male but then the male bites her again. Can someone please help me with all of this i’ve been stressing since we got the birds and i really want them to be healthy and playable instead of aggressiveness. Thanks!
whenever i try to handle my lovebird, he just flies and goes as far away from me as he can lol
He is so cute
Wow so cool ~!! i like your vid ~!! subscribe and share and like your channel ~~!...Thank you for sharing
My lovebirds just fly here and there really fast when I put my hand in there cage (to put food). But no one knows when they will eat my finger!😂😫😖😣😩.
But one day they will really bite my finger really badly. They bit my father and brother’s finger and it created a hole!
I have a budgie, but I find this useful.
Your bird is calm
I tried this on my sister's African parrot..she screamed the hell out on me🙄🙄
cuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuute
i gues its how u r with them , my rabbit tom was so grumpy n very stand offish whenever me and my doig went near him but now he is into everything and even s;leeps woith grace on the bed
My birb likes to nibble on my finger
And it loves massages on the neck and sometimes fall asleep
My bird is 2 months old as the seller said, he's not afraid of me but also doesn't like to be approached. He let's me pick him up, scratch him and feed him.
However, he doesn't seem to respond to my voice or finger clicks like my previous parakeet and cockatiel.
This age is critical and I want him to be as tamed, smart and playful as it gets.
Tips?
Also got a hand feed lovebird! Made salad for her today th-cam.com/video/K3iPi0-15ZU/w-d-xo.html check this out!
Mine are very scared of me the bite me run away from my hand or the perch and if I do let them out the will fly away from the blues and never be found again I really want to take them but I can't I did try to do everything I can but they just won't trust me any suggestion???
I also have some lovebirds 2 for my family i think 1 of them is my uncle's
For me if like they're newborn its easier to tame them because they can't fly away and its easier to help them understand we are not dangerous
I'm planning to get a love bird so this is really help full
if you get a baby lovebird you can train it to bond with you but if it's over that stage get one that's already trained & used to human interaction.
Oh and maturing females are aggressive so beware.
I have 2 conures, they're not tame yet because I bought them around 2 weeks ago. Thankfully they never bite at all. They're so gentle and one time my male conure bite me however it was so gentle is if it was to serve as warning
My love bird was raised in a cage and he always wants to go back In it.
criterion the cage is your birds safe place. If you patiently teach him that you are a safe place as well, he will only want to be with you.
that’s unreal. My lovebird is crazy. He is scared even if i do not touch him. He gets scared when i stare at him or talk to him. I don’t think i will ever make him to trust me
Same
he bite my finger
Yeasterday my green love bird fly away and then i bought a new love bird so im not do this all step but that new bird easyly tame im my hand then i will call ro my dad and he also say good
So I like to put my hair in a bun so when my bird is on my shoulders my hair isn’t in the way but my bird loves to go on my head and try and take out my bun 🤣
Really good but how to get them in the cage for sleeping?
For the people who this doesn’t work for: for some birds this technique doesn’t work because birds need time. Tame them by using positive reinforcement and not by forcing your hand up.
I've had my bird for nearly a year. He has gotten wayy more comfortable with me having my hand in his cage, but i can't go near him, or he flies away. he's not aggressive what so ever, not even the couple of times i've had to catch him when he's been out of his cage, he's just really scared all the time. i can't really let him out either, 'cause he doesn't know how to get back in the cage again, and then i have to chase him around for a long time with a net to catch him.. i really don't know what to do. i mean, i get it, his past owner wasn't the best, but i don't know how to make him comfortable, if it'll ever happen.
-side note, he's very talkative and will fly as close to me as possible when i start talking to him, so he's used to, and comfortable with my voice
You have made more progress in 3 days than I have in 3 years with my lovebird I've tried EVERYTHING but nothing works. And I have had her since she was a baby but she just hates everything including me
