Parrot Training Info

I hope you love birds too. It is economical. It saves going to heaven. -Emily Dickinson

Parrot training takes a little finesse, but it’s totally doable and so worth it!

Parrots are not domesticated animals like dogs, cats, or horses.  Though parrots are no longer legally wild caught and imported, they are still considered wild animals which have been tamed.  They are actually only a few generations removed from their natural habitat.

Not surprisingly, this means they are far more susceptible to behavior problems as a result of living in a human environment.  Issues which Fur and Feather Works can help with include:

• Biting/aggression
• Screaming
  
• Plucking
• Fear
• Basic manners, such as “step up”
• Cage bound birds/taming
  
• Preparation for a new bird
  

Let us  teach your parrot good habits!

How do we start?

Parrot behavior modification or training is almost always done in-home and begins with an initial assessment of about 90 minutes.  It is often beneficial to have the bird’s immediate “family” present during the lesson so that everyone is on the same page.  Call me at (775) 453-5753 or email me to set up an appointment!
