Hi Claire,

I am planning to train him indoors first and then if i am confident will go for outdoors as well. But its too early to say right now.

Subodh

P.S. Are you going to try outdoor for Nele? Cause he is good indoors.

Hi there, Welcome to the forum. I am from India and the situation is the same here. They remove the babies from the clutch of wild birds and sell them before they are weaned. Also let me add a fact that you missed. Almost 50% of the chicks die while in transit from the nest in the wild to the pet sh...

Hi There,

Welcome to the forum.

Can you please explain a bit more, I mean initially when you got the bird home who was hand feeding it? Also whom did it bond with initially means after the weaning?

If you can answer these question, we might be able to figure out the problem.

Hi Lola,

Yes they tend to bond to one person normally, but if you socialise them properly they get along with other family members as well. My alex seems to be bonded to me. But he is the happiest when my son is around though there is never physical contact between them.

Hi All, Thanks for all the nice things you are saying about Chanakya. He is very loving and also likes to cuddle to some extent. He is the happiest when he is around my son. I am not training him any tricks but still he has learned the bat trick on his own. I am trying to teach him flight recall. I ...

Hi Tom,

Even i was told by the pet shop staff that Chanakya (my alex) is a male. But i am not sure of it. I have named him a boys name though

Hi Tom and Gene,

Cant say for sure about the ring. My Alexandrine has similar ring and he is only 4 months old.

Hi there,

Did you train with treat or just made him lie down. He looks real mischievous though. Must have been difficult.

Hi Trinket, Welcome to the forum. The first and the foremost thing that you should do is let the bird settle down a bit. Since you got him only today. Let him settle down for atleast a week. You can just hang around the cage talk to him and stuff and try to feed him from between the bars of the cage...

Hi Redzone, I think the sound at the background of television or radio i dont know is causing Nele to make those sounds. It is no problem though as even my birds make that sound while sleeping, when i am playing a song on the computer or Television. Subodh P.S. just to confirm the theory please try ...

Hi MissK, These birds are not a pest to agriculture in India. They attack very few crops like the one that i mentioned to you before. Now that crop is not the daily crop on which the farmers are depended. So its ok even if they eat the entire crop. The main reason why poaching is not taken severely ...

Hi Molossus,

It is a boy. But he is only 4 months old now so you cant see the ring yet.

Thanks a lot MissK.

Hi Romantic,

Hi Hessa,

Welcome to the forum. i think you will have to cage them separately for some time. It seems to be harmonal.

Hi Romantic,

You should get it in the pet store. And do a lot of research regarding training parrots on google. You will find all your answers there. Also there are some very good videos on youtube about training parrots. You will find target training in it.

Hi Ellie, I wish you luck for seeing the penguins. Now when we are talking about tourism things work very differently in India. To encourage people to some and see these birds in their natural habitat is asking too much. I think people who are really crazy about these birds will turn up maybe just y...

subodhhire

Hi romantic, Do you think you can manage that. Cause young birds are very sensitive and if anything goes wrong it can be fatal for the bird. Think twice before getting the bird. Also if its only a week old baby you need to feed it every 3 to 4 hours. Can you manage that time in your daily routine? R...

Hi Ash, All the countries where Alexandrines are found are facing the same problem of extinction. I have done a bit from my side. I used to know a nomadic group who used to remove the chicks from the nest of wild birds for selling. I cannot directly tell them to stop, But I made them understand that...

Hi MissK,

I am using the one mentioned in Ellies post. I registered there uploaded pic there and then clicked on img. Then it asked for the url and i pasted the one with Chanakyas picture. But somehow there was some mistake from my side. Hopefully I will figure it out today.

Hi Romantic, I went through your entire thread all over again to understand where things have gone wrong. I am really very sorry to hear that you have given up hopes.

Patience is the key and be observant.

Hi Sujith, What you are doing is right just try to push the treat that you are offering slowly deeper and deeper in your hand. This will slowly reduce the fright of your hand from the birds mind. Please be patient there is no point in scratching the bird if he is scared of you or your hand. You have...

Hi Haidz, He is still a juvinile and he is just playing. And he will be really happy doing it. In fact you can train him to do it on cue. That might start your relation on a very very positive note. It seems you are in possesion of a very sweet bird. Have Fun. Subodh p.s. when he nods you also nod y...

Hi Sujith, you were on the right track till the towel thing. Now let me just give you a brief on what happens when you handle the bird using the towel. It so happens that the bird becomes helpless and then accepts its fate to let you hold him. This is not a very positive reinforcement. Once you star...
