hocke230 Posted June 13, 2008 Share Posted June 13, 2008 Hello, Wanted to see if anyone can provide articles/links to help on training my new grey.

lovemyGreys Posted June 13, 2008 Share Posted June 13, 2008 The TURN AROUND Parrot Trick The next trick to learn is the TURN AROUND. This requires that you parrot be perched on a stand again. Before you teach the trick warm up you bird by getting it to step up and go back to its perch a few times. Then holding its favorite at eye level, tell your parrot to “turn aroundâ€. As your parrot reaches for the treat, move your hand slowly to its back so that your parrot has to turn its head around to see the treat. Some parrots will immediately turn its entire body too to get to the treat. In case your bird does not praise it anyway and redo the trick telling it to “turn around†and coaxing your parrot to turn around next time. Once your parrot has learned this do not give your parrot a treat until it does a full 360° turn next time. http://onafricanwings.com/Tricktraining.htm http://www.parrotsite.com/your-parrot-first-trick.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
