I think your … I think your senegal is really good, great learning capabilities. I’ve a Senegal Parrot named Kermit is currently 7 months old still a young fellow, I’m still trying my best to open him up and unleash his learning capabilities. It’s just matter of time and patience. I think you done really well in your training, I salute you!
clever sengal& … clever sengal&cute.i like ur sengal doing tricks.i have sengal but mine cant do tricks but i like teach my sengal parrot.what was first trick he did&then u did another trick..how do u learn them to do tricks?
also can ur sengal talk?
He learned these … He learned these tricks pretty quickly and does more now. I need to put a new video up and will soon, I hope. But, I taught him using “Clicker Training.” Check out “Clicker Training for Birds” by Melinda Johnson and the yahoo group Birdclick for training. It’s all about positive reinforcement, he LOVES to train and do tricks. He gets so excited when I start. His favorite treat is a tiny bite of almond for each trick(and much healthier for him than the peanut butter I was using).
woooooooow he’s … woooooooow he’s adorable!!! how long did it take you to teach him that? my birdy has been in training for like 3 years and only says hi
Peanut butter. But … Peanut butter. But, since this video was taken, I now use itty bitty bits of almond as a reward, much healthier than the peanut butter.
i have a senegal … i have a senegal parrot and he can talk and ake funny noises and i would love to train him.. but his attension span is like a goldfish and he loses intrest really easily ( in the food and toys) do yu have any good ways of keeping them ocupied..? if soo can yu message mee please . ty. I luv annebell
Well, if it’s not … Well, if it’s not bitey, you can put it on your lap and shoulder. Mine’s bitey, but my mom still has him(his name’s Pepo-pronounced Pee-poe)on her shoulder and lap all the time. He loves playing with his bell and ball! He puts his ball in the dish, too-we taught him how to play basketball.
All are different. … All are different. My guy is pretty active and while he sits on my lap, he’s usually trying to do something, he rarely sits still. I wouldn’t trust mine on my shoulder, because he would go after my ear, and their beaks hurt! I wouldn’t recommend having most birds on your shoulder, you could put yourself in a dangerous situation. All senegals and all birds are different though. Even though mine is a little aggressive, I think it makes him a really good learner, he’s so eager to do things.
he’ll bite … he’ll bite sometimes when going back or when I take him out, depending on his mood. I always cover my hand with a towel, and when I want him to come out and he doesn’t, I either just leave him alone, or bribe him with an almond bit He’s out of his cage most of the day, I work from home and my work area is right by his cage, so we talk all day. He probably spends at least a couple of hours a day on me. he’s also more likely to bite during the times of the year when he’s more hormonal.
does he only bite … does he only bite when being put back in his cage, or does he just randomly bite? how much time do u spend interacting with him out of the cage each day?
thanks for your knowledge!
It’s easy to teach … It’s easy to teach birds tricks, check out clicker training, my bird loves to do tricks because he gets a treat. There’s a yahoo group called bird click. Teaching tricks actually improves behavioral problems. He’s 5 years old. He does bite sometimes, so I’ve had to learn how to avoid bites. No punishment at all though, only positive reinforcement.
