Training Your Cockatoo

This is the meaning of the dramatic and a sense of rights that make them both very interesting birds and birds impossible. Good news ... train your parrot will be significantly easier to handle. Maybe less charm, more.

So how exactly one goes about parrot training?

However, they are creatures of temperamental? Sometimes. Part of the reason why a parrot, behavior problems such as screaming, biting and plucking, because they are allowed to go with that behavior. This often happens to young parrot. Once they mature and take some new behavior seems too much. Owner frustration and behavior problems increase.

To begin the training of parrots is important to first understand the difference between positive reinforcement negative reinforcement training and education. To understand this we look at two examples. I believe that it is very clear that it was.

Scenario One. The owner came home from work and the bird started screaming in their cages. Clear that they want from their cages. 'Do not cry! " The owner screams they tossed him the keys to the cage. cockatoo to stop screaming.

Scenario two. The owner came home from work and the parrot started screaming in their cages - they want to get out. The owners put their keys and purse on the coffee table and walked past the cockatoo. Business owner to tend to their parrot to stop screaming at the time the owner walked into the cage cockatoo verbal praise and let them out of their cages.

Okay, so the scenario is negative reinforcement and positive reinforcement using two scenarios. What difference does it make if they both lead to cessation of the behavior of birds? A scenario will result in more bad behavior. Yelling and throwing things cause anxiety and stress. Fear and stress cause the biting, thrashing, plucking the feathers and can actually cause more screaming.

cockatoo positive reinforcement to teach that they are rewarded for not crying. Finally, by repeating this technique, you exercise your Cockatoo from screaming. They learn them from their cage much faster if they are allowed to behave. Your job is to be consistent. Always leave them out of their cages once they stop screaming - always give the award to the desired behavior.

Because parrots love the attention, positive or negative is not important, very important to give them the kind of attention that produces the behavior you want them.

A few additional tools you can use the scenario that accelerates the process.

clicker A. clicker is a small utility that you have on your hands. If you press it makes a clicking sound. That clicking sound is used by the trainers of the signal for the animal being trained to do that right behavior.

Would you let them right when they stopped screaming? Do you praise? Hold Steady, once you catch your cockatoo to run well. They're smart, it will happen.

A good guide training. Can you bake a cake without a recipe? Build furniture without a plan? No, probably not, unless you're an expert. The same thing applies to training your bird. You're not an expert, to use the plan created by experts. Find training videos, DVDs or coach who can teach you how to train your bird. Try it yourself and you can finally make things worse. You could end up scaring the birds or the stress out of them - well that makes bad behavior.
