I m a newbie My cockatoo is more than 6 months old and I m afraid of people, how to tame it?

Adult parrots are more difficult to tame.

It is advisable to place the cage where the parrot can see you to eliminate the strangeness.

Taming takes time, don't be in a hurry.

Take out the parrot's food bowl and starve it for half a day or even a day (although it is inhumane but only if you are in a hurry), then put the food in your hand and slowly approach the parrot so that it will gradually get used to your hands, although inhumane but hunger is the best teacher.

Also, don't cut the feathers unless you want to take it out for a walk. (Not recommended) birds with sheared feathers can suffer from depression. Target.

Interact more, feed more with your hands, cut the feathers, and hold them in your hands, but don't be too aggressive all at once, otherwise it will frighten him, oh, by the way, cockatoos like others to tickle him the most, scratch him more, that is, the position of the neck and the top of the head.

Hunger training, take your time, put it indoors to increase familiarity if you have time, don't feed, don't starve, train it to get food on your hands,.

It is best to fix a person to tame your cockatiel alone, so that the bird can get used to this person faster, which is helpful for taming, so that your body can just face the height of the cockatiel, if the person and the bird's line of sight can be relative to each other is the best. 1.It is better to fix a person to tame your cockatiel alone, so that the bird can get used to the person more quickly, which is helpful for taming.

2.Always keep your body just in front of the height of the cockatial, if the line of sight between people and birds can be opposite, it is best, try to avoid being higher than your cockatiel.

3.Talk to your cocktail from a distance at first, then slowly approach, then chat with it, when the bird can accept you standing on the edge of the cage, you put your hand next to the cage close to its position, let it slowly get used to the appearance of your hand, but the hand should not be higher than your cockatiel, if your cockatiel retreats, don't take your hand back, just keep putting your hand in the same position, continue to talk, until the cockatiel is settled, you can try to put your hand close to it again.

4.Then you can start to hold the millet ear in your hand to your cockatiel to eat, slowly put the millet ear into the cage and the friend, the cockatiel should slowly approach, and then start to eat the food you give it, if the cockatiel bites you, don't suddenly withdraw your hand, your cockatiel will understand that it can't hurt you by doing this, whisper and gently to your cockatiel, slowly approach, but keep a distance where it feels safe, your cockatiel may even jump on your hand to eat the millet ear.

5.You can try to reach out two or three fingers into the cage, each time a little closer to your cockatiel until your cockatiel gets used to this level of contact. Finally, put your finger on the perch or close to the bird's foot until your cockatiel can get used to it, and then you can reach over and touch the bird's foot, and once the bird accepts the action, you can touch its belly, and the bird should stand on your finger and use it as a perch.

After that, every time you touch the belly of the cockatiel with your hand, the bird should automatically get started. Then have the cockatiel stand on your finger and carry it around the cage, and the cockatiel will most likely jump away and stand on the perch, and that's okay, you just keep repeating the action.

6.Once the cockatiel gets used to your hand as a perch, you can try to get it to stand on its fingers and remove it from the cage, the action of standing on your hand and getting out of the cage can be a bit difficult for the cockatiel, they are usually timid and unwilling to take risks. At this time, another perch will have an effect, and you can have the cockatiel stand on the perch and take it out of the cage, so that they are more acceptable.

Generally speaking, this kind of training starts from the nestling period, but novice bird owners are unlikely to buy chicks, because novices generally do not raise chicks, and if they do not know how to raise chicks, the mortality rate of captive chicks is very high. Generally, novices buy cockatiels are more than 6 months old, so that the big bird wants to tame it is much more difficult than starting from the chicks, I am here to introduce some experience to novice friends, but whether it is successful depends on the perseverance of the person and the courage and character of the bird.

First of all, the most important thing is to train the bird is not afraid of people, if you are afraid of people, people will hide far away, then you can declare failure, such a bird is basically undomesticated, to choose the bold, see people come not to dodge, should eat, and may even take the initiative to play with your hands, such a bird is better, at the beginning you can feed the phoenix through the cage to eat food, such as sunflower seeds, with your hands to hold sunflower seeds to feed, a little longer, the bird will have a conditioned reflex behavior, see the hand outside the cage and think there is food, In this way, the fear of people will be reduced, and then you can start to put your hands in the cage and try to feed the cockatiel, maybe at the beginning the bird will not be adaptable, do not eat the food in the hand, but with the increase in the number of times, the bird's vigilance will be reduced, it will come to eat the food in the hand, repeatedly, so that the bird will become close to the person, and then you can try the bird to stand in the hand of the person gently raise the hand, to see the bird's reflection, if there is no reflection can continue to try some slight and not intense things, after a long time of cultivation, Non-chicks can also simply play with people.
