PARROTS

How Training Amazon Parrots With Trust Really Works
Getting to know your Amazon Parrot is one of our priorities here at parakeets-cockatiels.blogspot.com. We have researched important training and taming techniques so you don’t have to. We especially love to give you historical information about your type of bird.
By understanding their past, you can begin to understand their true nature. One of the most interesting and exotic birds that many owners love to show off is the Amazon Parrot.
Amazon Parrots are native to the New World, as Christopher Columbus gave them their name when he brought some birds back home with him after his first voyage to the Americas.
There are 27 different types of Amazon parrots and they live from South America to Mexico and also in the Caribbean.
The Amazon Parrot talks so much that many people have wondered if they are just mimicking their owners and not actually speaking. Research, however, has upheld that they are actually speaking and that they are very intelligent. You can check this out for more on Amazon Parrot Sounds.
Amazon Parrots are very energetic, playful and demand a lot of attention from their human owners. They are also known for their strong and sometimes moody characteristics as well as how beautiful their plumage looks in flight. At different times they can be any of these: calm, cuddly, loud, quiet, stubborn, silly, jealous, playfully aggressive, or irritable. Not only are they fun but they are extremely beautiful birds.

 

You can Train Amazon Parrots to enjoy daily activities with you such as roller skating, skateboarding, golfing, bowling, getting groceries, making a meal, and setting the table. You will be constantly amazed by the talent of your Amazon Parrot.

Amazon’s need boundaries. They need to be taught what is and what is not acceptable behavior through rewarding the good and ignoring the bad. An example of this would be teaching your Amazon Parrot to stay on your hand and not to run up to your shoulder, as well as allowing you to hold onto its feet for safety and assurance that the bird won’t fall.
When they are on the shoulder and refusing to come down is when you have a problem. This when teaching “stationing” or “go to a place” (like a perch or cage top) can come into handy. A bird who refuses to come down off your shoulder when you ask it should not be allowed up there in the first place. We allow our own birds on our shoulders as long as 1. We put them there and 2. They come down when we request it.

All in all, Amazon Parrots make great pets for the whole family. Just watch our for their inclination to pick a favorite person and to always protect that person and stay close to them (usually the person who takes primary care so make sure everyone in the family does their part). Your Amazon Parrot as with most other parrot species have the intellect of about a 2 yr old child. So if you choose an Amazon you have to be ready to have a two year old in your house for the next 50 plus years. With that being said the proper socialization and Amazon Parrot Training make them delightful pets!
