Always keep in mind that parrots are wild animals. Taming a bird is a time taking process which can also be irritating to you resulting even harming your bird, so to avoid this you should be aware of the appropriate steps to make your birds at ease.

Once the parrot is at your home, it is important that he be around people who love birds and that he stay in his cage for at least the first 24 hours. If the parrot appears nervous, slow down and allow it more time.

If you cover all the windows and mirrors and leave the cage door open, the parrot will emerge from the cage when it is ready to. If the bird does not emerge soon, you may be able to lure it out using some food or a branch. In order to protect yourself from snags, take precautions to ensure your hair is out of the way and wear clothing that will not snag easily.

You should never speak loudly toward the parrot. Also, you must never look directly at him since this will make them perceive you to be a predator.

Place some clippings in its cage if your parrot is reluctant to hand feed. It will be much easier to get the bird to eat out of your hand if you encourage and praise him whenever he eats.

Parrots need to fly from time to time to exercise their wings. To keep the bird calm and ensure he is not frightened, try carrying the bird around on a stand that is low utilizing two different size sticks. Two sticks are required for the parrot to go from one to the other. The parrot will be frightened by sudden movements, so when you do this make sure to move slowly and deliberately.

The first few weeks of taming a parrot are going to be challenging. Once you have made some improvements, you can now teach it certain commands like “step up”. This will teach the bird that you are the master and if this is said, the parrot is aware that it must go to you especially when there is imminent danger so both of you can get out of harms way.

Another command they should learn is “no”. Sometimes, the parrot may do something that you do not appreciate and by teaching this to the bird, they won’t do it again.

Taming the bird will take time. Once you have surpassed that, you can teach it certain words or maybe even to sing and this can only happen once you have established trust with your feathered friend.
