A swallowtail (or macaw) is a great companion for bird lovers. They are very intelligent, funny, and relatively easy to train and care for. Parakeets tend to be afraid of people, but with time and training, they will overcome their fear and come to you to show concern and love.

Steps

Method 1 of 4: Observe body language to see if the conure likes you

1. 

   Notice if the bird is showing affection toward you. Cuddling is a clear sign that your conure likes you and wants to bond with you. If the bird gently snuggles into your hand, gets on top of you, pokes its feathers and rubs your neck, the parakeet is enjoying and feels safe with you.

2. 

   
   
   Observe the bird's wings. We often think of wings as a bird's flight tool, but many birds, including macaws, often use their wings as a type of body language. If the parakeet is flapping its wings, it may be trying to fly in place, which is a good sign of your relationship with that bird. Parakeet flapping is a way of parakeets expressing joy with humans.

3. 

   
   
   Pay attention to the bird's tail. Similar to the wings, the parakeet's tail is also a place to express happiness. A wagging tail (like a dog wagging its tail) usually means it is happy to see you - however it can also be a self-reassuring act. A wagging tail up and down is also a sign of joy and can be a sign that the bird likes you a lot.

4. 

   
   
   Observe the bird's posture. The way a parrot wraps around you tells how it feels in front of you. Posture, along with body language like flapping your wings and wagging your tail, can help you better understand how comfortable your parakeet is.
   • When a bird is relaxed, it means it is happy and comfortable with its owner.
   • When the bird "heads" its head - its head "points" towards its owner - it is comfortably next to the person and may want to be scratched or petted.
   • When the bird gathers itself up, accompanied by ruffled feathers and incessantly moving, side to side, it means it is uncomfortable, uncomfortable or distrustful with the human side. If your bird exhibits these symptoms, it is best not to disturb it. He's still not really comfortable around you or doesn't like what you're doing. Find out what you're doing wrong and avoid doing it.

Method 2 of 4: Notice movements that indicate your parrot likes you

1. 

   Observe the bird's eyes. Human pupils often dilate in the dark and contract when exposed to light, while a parrot's pupil can change size according to the body's response depending on its mood and environment. . Birds may blink (dilate pupils) and keep their eyes wide (constricted pupils), showing excitement or pleasure, although these can also be signs of fear or stress.
   • If your conure blinks and flexes his pupils continuously when he sees you, it is most likely a sign that he loves you and values ​​this companion.

2. 

   See if the bird is hanging upside down on its own. Hanging upside down is a common habit in birds. Birds often do this while they are happy and feeling safe, as this can easily hurt the bird. If your bird hangs upside down in front of you, this is a sign that he loves and trusts you.

3. 

   Notice movement in the beak and head. Parakeets use their beaks for a variety of purposes, from energy to delivering messages. If your bird is doing any of the following, it is happy and comfortable with you.
   • Sharpening, from left to right, is the same way a human grits his teeth, which is a sign of joy in a parrot.
   • Eating, but not biting, is a way for parakeets to enjoy each other. If the beaking bird gently gazes at you without actually trying to bite you, it is probably a way of showing affection.
   • Vomiting in front of or "right above" your friend is a parrot that proves deep affection. This is especially true if the conure is constantly dilating his pupils and shaking his head just before vomiting.

Method 3 of 4: Listen to the sounds that your conure likes you

1. 

   Pay attention to chirping, singing, or whistling. Your parrot will often make these three sounds to express satisfaction and joy in your home. If the bird makes a loud noise, especially when you enter the room, it's a good sign the bird likes you very much.

2. 

   Hear if it's a screech or a growl. Hissing and purrs are not always loud; some birds chirp. Whether it's hissing or purring, birds are showing satisfaction and wanting to talk or have fun with you,

3. 

   Pay attention to the tongue-clicking movement. A parakeet expresses its desire to be picked up or petted by clicking its tongue against its beak. If your conure clicks her tongue around you, this is often a sign that he likes you and wants to talk to you more. advertisement

Method 4 of 4: Encourage your conure to love you

1. 

   Make sure you meet your bird's physical needs. Forgetting to provide food or water threatens the bird's health, and over time the bird may become less happy and trusting in you. Always make sure you get enough clean water and a healthy bird diet.
   • Make sure your bird has access to seeds, cereals, beans, vegetables, nutritious seasonal foods and fruits.

3. 

   Provide toys for macaws. Macaws are very entertaining, and bringing your bird with fun, challenging toys will make him happy and satisfied.
   • Make sure there are items your conure can climb, as well as toys that are brightly colored and make a lot of noise.
   • Install a swing in the cage and make sure there is plenty of space to park inside the cage.
   • There are toys that are safe for your conure to chew on. Look for toys made of wood, or hard, hard nuts that can be bitten and chewed.

4. 

   Encourage your parrot to trust you. This can be done by showing the bird you are safe and friendly. Talk to the bird often, and speak in a calm, gentle voice. You should also allow the bird to be fed and played outside of the cage, and encourage interaction with you. Gradually, the bird will feel safe and comfortable with you, and he will come closer to show you his feelings. advertisement
