Cockatiels Training Discover The Best Training Method For Your Cockatiel
What is the best training procedure for cockatiels? Training your cockatiel to obey you, speak,
whistle tunes or do tricks doesnt have to be difficult or frustrating. You just need to remember to
follow a few simple guidelines. These guidelines are very important for establishing trust between
you and your cockatiel. Once trust is established, then a bond starts to form and your cockatiel
will be more apt to obey you and learn other things through a training procedure.
Guidelines to follow:
The most important thing to remember is to respect your cockatiels opinions and wants. Most
people fail to do this and get results that are less than pleasing. This is because they are basically
coercing their cockatiel to obey rather than asking him. The more pushy you are, the more your
cockatiel will keep his distance. So give him space, back off and try again later.
It is also really important to reward your cockatiel when he does something for you. A good
reward is to feed him some millet, since most cockatiels love millet. This kind of reward system
makes your cockatiel eager to obey you or learn what you are teaching him.
Try to incorporate your training sessions with something that he already loves to do. As you get to
know your cockatiel and his behaviors, you will know what he already likes to do. Incorporating
some training at the same time makes it fun for him.
Persistence and repetition is also key to training your cockatiel. Your cockatiel needs plenty of
repetition until he learns what you are teaching him. I was teaching our cockatiel, Tiki, to whistle
the Andy Griffith theme. He listened to me every day for a whole week. I could tell he was really
thinking about it and processing it because he would cock his head to the side. He didnt do
anything until after a week, when he all of a sudden whistled it flawlessly. And now he sings it
over and over and over and over!! Usually when we are trying to watch TV! But if I hadnt
persisted or repeated it, we wouldnt have the enjoyment of listening to him whistle it today and all
the extra little things he adds to it!
Training cockatiels doesnt have to be hard or frustrating, but can actually be fun if you closely
follow some simple guidelines. Once that trust is established and bonding takes place, you have a
very close companion for many, many years.
