KEEP YOUR PARROT STIMULATED AND ACTIVE, AND HE WILL KEEP YOU
ENTERTAINED
By nature, parrots are inquisitive, intelligent, and social
animals. You can capitalize on these characteristics and obedience
train your bird, teaching him behaviors that will make your life
and his more enjoyable--behaviors such as stepping on your hand or
wrist on command, and going to a designated perch. Then you can
progress to teach him all kinds of tricks. He'll love the
attention, communication, and socialization. From the essential
basics of obedience training to awesome tricks that will amuse and
amaze your friends, Parrot Tricks covers:
* Techniques to use during the ""get acquainted"" period
* Setting up a training area and using food as a training
tool
* Training basics such as targeting, luring, and using cues
* Necessary obedience skills such as step up, come, perch, and
stay
* The basic retrieve command, the foundation of many tricks
* Simple tricks such as shake hands, high five, kiss, and take a
bow
* Tricks based on the retrieve command, including basketball, ring
on the peg, and stacking cups
* Advanced tricks such as pulling a wagon, pushing a grocery cart,
raising a flag, and riding a skateboard
* Innovative tricks that showcase your bird's natural
abilities
* Chaining tricks, such as recycling and going to the mailbox
* Verbalizations and talking using the Rival/Model Method or the
Positive Reward Method
* Directions for making simple props
With this book, patience, and practice, you'll build your
understanding of and relationship with your bird as you build a
repertoire of tricks. You can get your parrot to jump through hoops
for you--literally
