Clients would sometimes ask me if I could teach them how to trick-train their parrots. I have to admit I didn't often do this because my focus is on helping people with general care information and behavior problems. However, I felt like I should be helping people with trick training because it can be a great way to develop a strong bond with a parrot, and it's fun for both the person and the bird. I just wasn't sure how to go about teaching this stuff since some of it can be hard to explain in a phone call!
When the folks from birdtricks.com invited me to work with them, I realized here was a way that I could encourage trick training! They have all the tools already in place. And the best and most important thing is: These products really do work. If they didn't I wouldn't recommend them.
Each video shows you step-by-step how to train your parrot to do all sorts of fun tricks and games, so even if you don't have any prior trick-training experience, you can start with very simple things and work your way up.
Activities like this are important for parrots. It gives them something to do--something to think about--as well as an opportunity to share time with you. You benefit from knowing you're spending quality time with your parrot and building a solid relationship based on trust and friendship. Your bird will be active and alert, eager to show off his abilities and let you know just how smart he is!
But here's the thing: You have to put in the time, too. The bird doesn't just learn this stuff all by himself. If you think of your parrot as just a pretty, exotic decoration, and you think it would be cool if he could do stuff to impress your friends, you're probably not going to get the real benefits here. These activities aren't just for show! Yes, they're cool, and sometimes you'll be able to get your bird to perform for others. But the real benefits come from the connection you'll have with your bird--that bond that comes only with trust and kindness, where your parrot will do the tricks because he's having fun, too! Plus, getting a few peanuts in the bargain sure doesn't hurt.
With all the parrot-related products out there, it can be hard to decide if something is worth spending the money. If you put in the time, using the techniques in the Birdtricks videos, DVDs and CDs, you will see results.
I don't sell or promote things that I don't believe in, but I believe in the birdtricks.com products. I've talked to the satisfied customers and heard the joy and excitment in their voices from what they've learned.
It's not just about the tricks!
