Thanks very much for the reply, well the parrot doesn’t exactly talk infront of me yet but he does make alot of noises infront of me, the only thing he has said was his name infront of me wich is Samari, in the way i call him.

Birds take a while to create a bond with people by now your bird is probably talking in front of you, if not you may need to spend more time with it.

Great Advice Andrew. I do not plan to clip my greys wings and he will wear a harness when going out side. It also builds the birds security to let it fly also.

I enjoyed your video. It was simple but clear. I have a 4 month old Grey and love her and look forward to teaching her more. When did you start training her to talk.

Awesome video. My …
Awesome video. My Indian Ringneck Raja is now five months old and he was given to me with his wings already clipped. The strange thing is they haven’t grown back yet. I’ve had Raja for a few months now and I hope his wings aren’t holding back his development too much. I know he will be able to talk as he picks up everything we do. If you show him something once he’ll remember how to do it.
Also Tui is gorgeous. Where did you get her from? How much $AU?

As a proven breeder, you should be able to get a lot more than that for her… You got a deal!

A breeder will …
A breeder will never make a good pet. She may never talk either. I’d sell her as a breeder. She could easily take a good chunk out of your finger. It’s no wonder she is scared. Our breeders were very protective of their mate. You go into their room, feed them, and get out. Shame on whoever sold you this bird thinking it would make a pet… She will make a great breeder, she will never be a good pet.

well, she had a …
well, she had a breeder pair when i got her and the male one died a weak later, its been two months since i had her,
p.s, how hard will a year old parrot bite since you were a breeder
September 15th, 2008 at 3:42 pm
that question …
that question cannot be answered without knowing a lot more history about you and your bird. As a former breeder, I might be able to help you. Send me some more information and I might be able to give you some pointers…

try feeding him treats every few hours for a couple of days and it should learn to trust you

I just came back to say that my baby lorikeet can say hello now and she also mutters something else and her wings are clipped. I think as long as you give them independence and lots of love, patience and encouragement they’ll adapt and learn to talk in whatever situation.

It probably doesnt feel safe with you because you are scared. Even if it bites you it better than having a pet that doesnt feel safe with you. It just has to get more used to you so he does not fell so insecure around you.
