Yes, the clicker you have for your dog ...Hi Laura,<br /><br />Yes, the clicker you have for your dog will work, or even the click of a loud ballpoint pen. There is nothing magical about the click -- it's just a consistent noise that the bird begins to associate with treats. If you want to do this, really read the files in that yahoo group -- that's how I learned.<br /><br />It's not the healthiest option, but you may want to try using tiny bits of cheese to train her if she isn't motivated using her normal favorite foods. Don't overdo it, though!<br /><br />You may want to do some thinking about whether she should ever be allowed on your shoulder. In our house, parrots are not allowed on our shoulders. First, because we can't see their body language, so if they're warning us they're going to bite, we won't see the warning until it's too late! Second, because I really don't want a face bite. If one of our parrots flies over to try to land on a shoulder, we just duck and the parrot lands on a playstand or perch somewhere.<br /><br />When you pick her up, does she bite hard, or is she just putting her beak on your finger? Both of my greys will put their beak around my finger after picking them up -- it's seems to be more of a check that my hand is stable rather than anything meant to hurt me, and now it's routine.<br /><br />She probably is nervous. Even though she's in your house, she's not domesticated like a dog or cat. Her parents or grandparents probably came from the wild, and she is still very much a wild animal, and a prey animal at that.<br /><br />In the wild, they have to be constantly on alert, because a parrot that isn't won't live very long. You need to make her feel safe. Try not to take her biting personally. She doesn't have anything against you -- it's just the way she knows how to communicate. By clicker training her and watching her body language, you can teach her a new way to communicate!<br /><br />Please keep me updated!Maryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06645791926538907697noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7070053671376569995.post-52622894794604186772010-02-05T10:46:42.708-08:002010-02-05T10:46:42.708-08:00thank you very much for answering, my name is laur...thank you very much for answering, my name is laura but i had problems trying to get that onto my post so i just clicked anoymus, now i no about the wing stroking i will stop trying to get her to let me, my friends parrakeet lets her so i thought i would give it a try. as for finding her favourite we know they are monkey nuts and sunflower seed but she will still throw them no matter what we do yesterday i tried fresh vegtables, at the moment i am trying to find the clicker we used for our dogs if that will work,<br />we have considered moving her into my room and leaving my telly on but that is still to secluded,but the dogs do not have access all through the day as the liveingroom room door is closed but boo(the parrot) can still c and hear us as we have glass windows. she isnt afraid of dogs as the owner before had a jackrussel apparently she was fine also if they sniff boo's cage she will go down to them. she always tries to bite and back away when you try and get her off or in her cage and if she os on my shoulder she will go to bite me if i try and get her down it is not a hard bite i think just a warning so now when she bites me i do not backaway i keep my finger there and push a little bit as she does not like it. all in all i think she is very nervous. also after yesterdays lesson when she went back on the cage she dived to bite me i think it was ment to be hard so it took me a while to get her back inside her cage, as again thankyou for the response.lauranoreply@blogger.com
