HE SAID, SHE SAID, SCIENCE SAYS
"Never make a parrot do anything it doesn’t want to do." No way, it’s "Never allow a parrot to be in control." But I’m sure I read, "Parrots are partners not subordinates." Well, I was taught, "Humans must establish superior rank over their parrots." He said, she said, they said, we said. Will the real parrot behavior experts please stand up?

Built to Play!
One of the many positive aspects of parrot toys is that they are created to offer your bird something to do. Something to play with when you’re not around, something to spend some time doing. They are useful in relieving boredom and inactivity. And our birds seem to enjoy them, because they keep going back to play with them.

Clicking With Your Bird (with or without a clicker)
With Permission from ParrotChronicles.com
WHAT'S the first thing that pops into your head when you hear the word "training"? Parrots riding bicycles, playing basketball, or singing songs? You can train your bird to do all of those things, but training is so much more than cute tricks. Training is really a synonym for teaching. Believe it or not, we are all trainers. Our companion parrots are learning from us all the time. It's just that we usually are not conscious of how much we are influencing their behavior. Training also is a form of communication. It serves as a language we can use to tell an animal what it is we want.
