Bird training tips

Raimei @Raimei (30) • United States 14 Jul 11

Please post anything related to taming and/or training any type of bird here! I'm possibly getting a bird soon, and I know I'm not the only one who wants a few pointers.

What can your bird say/sing?

Raimei @Raimei (30) • United States 14 Jul 11

I'm possibly (hopefully) getting my first bird in a week or so (budgie!) and want to know what your parrot/budgie/tiel can say. Inspiration on what I should teach mine, I guess. :D

What kind of birds do you prefer to own?

lisa0502 @lisa0502 (1724) • Canada 25 Oct 08

I have a cockatiel and love her to death. I do not think that I would ever own a smaller bird than her. I would absolutely love to own a macaw or parrot or cockatoo. So what do you prefer?

Will my birds ever talk?

mrsmommy @mrsmommy (42) • United States 3 Feb 07

I was just curious, I have two cockatiels and a parkeet. I hear that they don't usually speak if they whistle. I've heard they really won't speak if they have each other to whistle with. Is this true?
