Parrot bites my girlfriend really hard to the point of drawing blood. This video is for all parrot owners who have ever been bit by their bird or whose bird bites other people. It trains how to prevent biting in the future. This video applies to all kinds of parrots including macaw, african grey, amazon, poicephalus, conure, caique, eclectus, ringneck., atoo, atiel, lovebird, monk parakeet, budgie, etc. The techniques are really the same for any bird.

My Senegal Parrot, Kili, is a maturing parrot with raging hormones. She has become more territorial and aggressive than ever before. She will often bite people that try to pick her up off of her tree or cage.

But through proper parrot training, these issues can be resolved. This video shows you how to teach your bird to step up onto your hand without biting. It goes by quickly so you may want to watch it a few times through. To avoid wasting your time, we just show each step once or twice through. Keep in mind that you may have to practice each step with your bird for up to several weeks for it to become effective. You have to work at your bird’s pace.

Start by putting your bird on a training diet:

Next, clicker condition your parrot:

Now you are ready to start target training:
http://www.birdtricks.com/blog/target-training-budgie/

Learn to target train your bird using only one hand so that you can target bird onto or off of your other free hand:
http://www.birdtricks.com/blog/single-handedly-target-training-your-bird/

Practice targeting the bird around the cage, onto a handheld perch, and onto your arm. At this stage you should be ready to target the bird onto your hand. The parrot will be so focused on the target stick and the treat to come, that it will not bite. Don’t forget that this process takes time. You cannot rush this process or you will not achieve results. This can happen as quickly as one day for a baby bird that isn’t prone to biting and is not scared of you. This can take weeks, months, or even years for birds that learned to bite.

After you have success target training and handling your bird, you can use the target stick to teach it the turn around trick:

Good luck and enjoy!

The family Conure Parrot(Kiwi) was on top of his cage and decided to climb down it and attempt to get the grape that was on the bottom of it. He sucessfully gets the door open and with his raptor-like claws, starts devouring the grape until (Kiwi) is finished eating it. He never opened the cage on his own before and I was quite amazed by it. Comments and feedbacks are welcome. Let me know your thoughts on what you saw. Thanks!!!

It was outside for a while and I already hosed it down and let it dry on the patio. The dishes are nasty and the toys that were left inside were extremely rusty. How should I disinfect this cage? I want to use it when I get my second bird to tame him separately.

What is a safe way to clean it without dangerous cleaning liquids?
I can’t save the dishes. The cage was left in the last owner’s backyard for a few weeks and the sun ruined the plastic.

Do not keep the dishes or the toys. The rust and dirt can cause the bird to get sick if digested. Simple soap and water can work wonders to get rid of rust and dirt on the cage, I use it all the time. Just make sure to thoroughly rinse it off. Buy all new toys, dishes and perches, and your new bird should be very happy. (If the paint is peeling off, or if the rust is too bad on the cage, I strongly suggest buying a new cage. Birds like chewing on things, including cage bars, so he/she might eat some of the paint/rust. Which, as mentioned above, can cause serious illness to the bird.)
