Parrots are very intelligent birds, and they are distinguished by increased sociability in relation to their owner. You will have a lot of fun discovering the secrets of the communication tools of parrots and forging communication with them using the signs they understand. One of the main methods of "getting to know" and communicating with a parrot is a game that will bring pleasure to you and the bird, and will also have a beneficial effect on the health and physical activity of the parrot.
Instructions
Step 1
The difficulty and level of playing with a bird usually depends on how tamed the parrot is. If he's not human at all and is wild, try playing games that build confidence and determination in the parrot.
Step 2
Sit in front of the cage with the parrot looking at you and close your eyes. Repeat the game until the parrot looks at you without fear. Approach the cage so that the parrot is above your eye level.
Step 3
Thus, he will feel taller and safer. Repeat the reactions and movements of the parrot and track its facial expressions - if the parrot blinks, then it is calm. If the parrot looks at you with an unblinking gaze, he is frightened and agitated. In response to fear, you can also respond with a demonstrative fear response.
Step 4
As the bird's confidence in you increases, try more intimate games such as winking. You can also deliberately do some interesting business, being in the field of view of the parrot, but not letting him see his occupation.
Step 5
The parrot is curious - it will try to look over your shoulder and see an unfamiliar object. If the parrot taps on the cage or table, knock back. You can also sing along to the parrot and respond to its sounds.
Step 6
As you get closer to the parrot even more, start copying his actions in his presence. When the parrot extends its paw to you, extend your finger in response. If you dropped something, invite the parrot to pick up the fallen thing or treat. Try to drag a handkerchief or rag with the parrot, giving in and letting the parrot win.
Step 7
Many parrots like to fly over the owner and touch him with a wing or paw, sit down and look carefully at the owner. To join the game, take a stick and hold it out to the parrot.
Step 8
Be patient - the parrot may at first fly away from an unfamiliar object, but after a while it will get used to it and will sit on the stick, and then, you can replace the stick with your finger so that the parrot sits on your hand without fear.
Step 9
If the parrot is hiding in a closet or other hard-to-reach place, call him by name and offer a treat.
