Re: Lunging when cleaning cage
Do you have any advise on what exercises I could do with him now? Because I just bought a clicker and I have tought him that when I click he gets a treat so now I want to work on his trust.

Re: Lunging when cleaning cage
I found that some of his favourite seeds works for luring. Also do you think it would be a good idea to have some sort of a flat wood in the cage with a small border with lots of foraging items in there? I was thinking wrapping a two or three seeds with paper and maybe one of those plastic balls wit...

Re: Lunging when cleaning cage
I also use roudy bush pellets and I feed corn and apples. Sky was weaned only a seed mix called peach face mix (the same name of a lovebird) so I have been working with him to eat roudy bush. He does eat it but he is not a very big fan so in a day I'll change him back to some roudy bush and some see...

Re: Lunging when cleaning cage
Sky does not fly I had his wings clipped at the breeder because I was informed that he will interact more with me if he couldn't fly. Also I gave him quarter of an apple and 2 cm of a corn cob that I take of the cob. I do not set up foraging toys because I have a budget and right now I got nothing b...

Re: Lunging when cleaning cage
I give sky fruit in the mornings in a Bowl and take it out after an hour so this morning I could tell he was very upset but I didn't expect him to bite me when I put his normal food bowl into his cage. What could I do to prevent this? Let him eat untill he is full next time or just give him less so ...

Re: Lunging when cleaning cage
I make my finger a perch and I nudge him under the belly with the command "step up" and I reward him after 3 good ones and gradually I get my finger further away so I don't even need to touch him.

Re: Lunging when cleaning cage
Thanks for the advise but how do you train your birds out of the cage because I bring him out and train him but the next day all that training was useless he doesn't learn.
