Great training advice in the Amazon forum

[Bird Mann]

Just want to say I really enjoyed reading all the excellent advice regards to biting and not
letting them be bossy etc. it's really worth the read, the advice applies to our smarty pants
Parrotlets too. I think Parrotlets are like mini me Amazons lol, anyone think that?

Happy Tuesday everyone,

Absolutely! Mini-'zons is a good way to describe them. Plus they have the braggadocio of tiny birds who think they are macaws! I had a beebee parrot, same size as a p'lett, who used to kick cockatoo ass at the bird shop communal play area.

Parrotlets should come with little leather jackets, with studs and chains and lets not forget the mini leather boots to kick flufferbutts. They really do think they are BIG birds. I am glad they like me, man if they didn't it would be horrible haha.

Best,

How do you stop them from being bossy?

How do you stop them from being bossy?

I’m not sure you can, but try redirecting maybe. I guess it depends on what you mean by bossy. Trick training helps keep their big brains engaged and is an easy way to distract them from bad behavior. But at some level , you have to accept the little terrors for who they are.
