Today Sabrina has brought in her blue and gold macaw to work with us on permission based training and simple step ups. Allowing your bird to say no will increase the likelihood of it saying yes!

Wished I’d learned this 15 years ago with my first bird. Oh the mistakes I made! This should be required viewing for all new and current bird caregivers ❤.

I'm still working on this with my grey Jengo. He has made amazing progress! One day, he will trust me again for the step up. Thank you, Dave and Jaime!

How about saving parrot nature environments. If you put as much enthusiasm into the environment for parrots rather than capture birds who are not domesticated we would have less endangered birds

It's always good to see you Dave. Hope you and the family are doing well. Have a nice day!!

Do you have any suggestions on what treats to give a blue Quaker parrot for clicker training?

@mcdart2606 says:

Thanks to Dave & Jamieleigh, I did a version of this with two rescue CAGs. We did LOTS of targeting for what seemed like a l o n g time. I didn't even ask them to step up. We were building trust and I was learning and respecting their No. The first one spontaneously stepped onto my hand, when I reached into his cage for his food bowl, calm as a cucumber. The second one was more like Dave's demo. Point is, they KNEW I knew and respected their No and so could trust me. BT for the win! Again.

Tonight I went and asked Loki if he wanted to come hang out with me in the living room. He put one foot on my arm and then gave me little nibbles on my wrist. I've learned that he's saying no, but you're still cool.

Thank you for this video. I finally understand.

It’s so awesome what y’all do! For the birds, the humans, we all deserve love & respect, and it’s charming to watch. ❤

I checked to buy/adopt an old macaw that likes me and was crushed by the price. There would have been nothing left of my savings for my own , parrot food, toys and vet care.

Everybody else is ( rightfully ) scared to get bit. I can still visit and play with it whenever. I'm lucky/grateful for that.

@tatertots-n-soup says:

I agree, birds are highly observative creatures. They need to want to interact for their own reasoning.

@lilyj25 says:

Brilliant advice and clearly shown I love learning from bird tricks it’s the way you both put it that makes it so simple to follow, thank you ❤
