Does your Parrot have what it takes to be the next big Pet Super Star sensation? Do you just love showing off your Parrot to all your friends and guests?

Training your Parrot tricks will help you to better understand your Parrot’s body language and realize their unique individualism. In the wild Parrots speak their own ‘Parrot Language’ with the other Parrots in the wild and do the same things as the other Parrots in the wild do. However, household Parrots don’t have that luxury and so need to interact with their owners on a daily basis. Parrots need to be able to see, hear, talk and do similar things that their humans do in order to feel completely like they are part of your household flock.

Trick training Parrots is no longer only for professional animal trainers. Mental exercises are just as important for your Parrot’s well-being as is physical exercise. Parrots need to have problems to solve and tasks to perform so that they can feel like they are truly a part of your household flock. The more that a Parrot learns, the faster they will learn. Trick training is so much fun for both you and your Parrot, not to mention how it is a great way to spend quality time together with your Parrot.

Teaching your Parrot trick training is a great way to help him overcome his fear of objects like vacuums, dog's, people and other loud scary things!

Parrots have excellent memories and can therefore remember just about any trick that you train them to do. Parrots really enjoy learning new things and will delight in spending time learning with you, and receiving your full attention. If a Training Session is taught with a lot of love, patience and constant praise, Parrots will always look forward to their training sessions and will respond rapidly to what you want them to learn to do.

Before you begin to train your Parrot tricks, he must be tame! Your Parrot must trust you enough to be able to take food and treats from you right out of your hand.

Next, decide on where you want your Parrot’s trick training to take place. Make sure that your Parrot’s trick training area will be in very quiet place that is totally free from distractions, such as, ringing phones, noisy kids or barking dogs, to vie with your Parrot’s attention. Another good idea when choosing your Parrot’s trick training area is to make sure that it is in an area away from other Parrots as well as your Parrot’s own cage. Less distraction means more attention!

Prior to trick training, try to take your Parrot into this special area and play with him in there. Let your Parrot learn that in this area fun things happen and good treats are given. This way, when you do start the trick training, your Parrot will not be so apprehensive of the new area and will be very relaxed and ready to learn there.

You can also try to clicker train your parrot. In clicker training, that sharp click is used to convey one very simple concept to your Parrot that what he just did when he heard the click sound, has earned him a treat.

Clicker Training your Parrot is great for targeting training! Target Training means teaching your Parrot to beak or touch with his beak, the end of a small stick or perch. Beaking the end of a stick is a very simple behavior, and it's something that parrots do naturally, so it's very easy to teach.

Here's how it works:
• Slowly move the end of the stick to within an inch or so of your Parrot's beak.
• When your Parrot beaks the end of the stick, click.
• Withdraw the stick and present your Parrot with a reward.

After you have trained your Parrot to learn a new trick and you feel that he has mastered the idea, then move on to another trick. Don't bore your Parrot with endless repetition. Keep this, and all future lessons, exciting for your Parrot as possible!
