Macaws (also known as Bird's Nest) are rather difficult to get along with, but with a little practice you can make them closer to you. In fact, if you have enough time around and give them a sense of comfort, you will create a good relationship with the parrot. Refer to the article to become closer to your pets.

Steps

Part 1 of 4: Getting to know macaws

1. 

   Make them comfortable. The cage is a safe space for the parrot, but if you want them to see the presence of family members, place the cage where everyone is. However, make sure this is a place where your conure can rest when needed as he needs 10 to 12 hours of sleep each night.
   • Cover the cage when your conure sleeps. This blocks view and keeps them parked in a fixed position, ensuring that there is no loud noise that startles the parrots while asleep.

2. 

   
   
   Get closer to your parrot. When you notice that they seem comfortable with where you put the cage, where they sense human presence, get closer. Move gently to avoid frightening the conure.
   • Speak softly when approaching the cage. Avoid sudden actions.
   • Spend as much time talking to them as possible. The parrot understands that you know its presence. Birds are swarms and the parrot will feel wildlife as soon as you are present, so spend as much time as possible with them.

3. 

   
   
   Start gently with your hands on or near the cage. If they dodge, don't move your hand in a hurry but instead put your hand in one position and talk or read a book to them. It is important to familiarize your conure with your hands and presence. Just don't panic it. advertisement

Part 2 of 4: Manual parakeet training

1. 

   
   
   Approach from the cage. Once the parrot stops avoiding your hand, now is the time to approach it from inside the cage. Place your hand in the cage for a period of time. This is very effective if you do this when you give them food, such as millet. Feeding will create your parrot's trust in you.
   • Gradually over time, move your hand closer and closer. Chances are, if you're holding food, the parrot will start picking it up from you.
   • If your hand is holding the food but is positioned where it cannot reach while on the leg, it will most likely jump onto your hand to be eaten.

2. 

   Let the conure sit on your finger. After feeding them on hand for a while, try to let them sit on your fingers even without food by reaching gently with your fingers and placing them right between your legs.
   • The parrot can quickly jump off your finger, but try to stay still, just don't overwhelm it. It takes time for your parrot to adjust and move slowly. Be patient, your parrot will begin to get used to and voluntarily sit on the owner's finger.

3. 

   Take the parrot out of the cage. The next stage in training a parrot is to get it out of the cage while still sitting on your finger. It is possible that he will jump out of his hand when he gets close to the cage door because he is used to the safety of the cage. However, keep trying, just as if you were trying to feed them on your hands or on your fingers. Eventually the parrot will trust and go out with you. advertisement

Part 3 of 4: Creating interactions with your parrot

1. 

   Regularly talk to your parrot. Every time you pass, stop for a few minutes and talk to it. If you repeat phrases or sounds (such as a whistle) over and over while talking, chances are they will begin to speak to themselves. Parakeets have the ability to talk like other ornamental birds.
   • Talking will help your pet trust you as this can be seen as love for them.

2. 

   Pet your parrot. The parrots can brush each other, so your pet will love it if you gently brush or stroke their feathers in different parts of the body. Try scratching their head, stroking their back, or gently rubbing their stomach.

3. 

   Always take good care of parrots. They have a small body and are very sensitive. Be gentle in contact and you will gain their trust, this is seen as your love for the parrots.
   • Do not hit or act rude to hurt them.
   • Never kiss her on the beak or other parts of her body because human saliva can be toxic to her in even small amounts.

Part 4 of 4: Caring for parakeets

1. 

   Feed them a variety of foods like meat. Your parrots will be more than happy to eat them full especially if they are not bored with the food you provide. Offer them nuts, pellets, fruit or vegetables.
   • Start with foods that do not contain any colorings or sugar.
   • Feed separate seeds, not mixed together.
   • Avoid foods such as butter, eggplant, onions, etc.

2. 

   Provide plenty of toys for your conure. Parakeets love to play around, so they will be more than happy to have lots of toys, let them feel loved. Bring your conure colorful toys such as balls, rings, swings, bells, etc.

3. 

   
   
   Keep the cage clean at all times. Parrots like a clean place like humans. The difference is they have to live close to their feces. Keeping the cage clean to limit exposure helps keep your conure clean, beautiful and healthy.
   • Use a pea rod suitable for parakeets. The natural tree branches of the perch will make it easier for your conure to fly, plus you can also take the bird out of the cage more easily.

Warning

• Gloves should not be used when touching macaws. Usually the birds will be scared of gloves because they are shaped like hands but larger. This will cause the parrot to lose trust in you.
