How sweet! A very smart bird you have there!

^^ it is the efforts of both me and my parrot

Are you a professional bird trainer? What age did you start teaching him at (and what's the little guys name)?

We've had our BFA for just over 6 years (he's about 16 y/o) and I'm just starting with him on target training. I'm hoping I can get him interested and having fun doing this sort of stuff. He's very sweet and ever the inquisitive guy, so I'm hoping he's not too old to learn We had to work out his behavioral issues before first we could have real fun with him, so now this kind of fun begins It's so amazing to see someone with the kind of bond you have with your bird. Great job with him!

oh no. I'm not a coach. she is 7.5 months old. I started training when she put her meal. So well trained, I recommend starting food management. 2 meals 1 day. food by weight 20% body weight, ...

 

[lucy1]

Wow, she's amazing! And still a baby, but learned so much already. Dare I say she's like a little grey Fargo...?*

Kiwi has been on a fairly 'strict' diet since we got him. Amazons are prone to obesity and overeating, so he gets portioned meals in the morning and evening and an hour or so to eat them before I take them away (both so he doesn't overeat and food spoilage). He does get a little seed to nibble at during the day which he barely touches, and bites of our food (provided it's safe for him to eat) since it's healthy for him to get the variety. I've been using crushed cereal as treats for his training since it is crushed into small bits and he really goes nuts over it. He's actually been doing really well with the target training. I'm really surprised because of his age and the fact he hadn't even really been handled when we got him, so certainly never trained in any way before.

Your girl is so young to be so well trained! I bet she will be one of those hyper intelligent birds because you did start her off pretty much from weaning. Plus, from what I've read parrots have similar neural pathways when it comes to learning as people, and there is a small window between adolescence and sexual maturity where it is easier for them to learn because their brains are not fully formed yet. They compare it to young children being able to pick up second languages very easily whereas adults take much more effort. We got Kiwi when he was around 10 y/o and have had him now for 6 years, so he will have a much harder time learning these new concepts. Though he is very smart, he's picked up several verbal and visual cues from us working with his behavioral issues and so long as you watch him closely, he does communicate his needs through body language and has increased the frequency of those communications because we encourage it with positive reinforcement so he knows we understand. Parrots are such wonderful and intelligent animals. It's truly amazing. You showed a pretty good variety of tricks in your youtube clip. What kind of things can she do/is she learning?

hi thank. I never knew fargo gray parrot.you have to send me some information that?

LOL. Fargo is a B&G macaw one of the forum members has who is super well-trained and absolutely adorable. Your bird gives him a run for his money though....

Yes. you have a good diet. would be more difficult if you practice with old age. but will not matter if you love big ^ ^.

Yes, I agree with your comments. lessons will be the basis premise for the next challenge. and enhance their brain development. I will also try the same with her. I have a lot of different tricks to challenge yourself. time she was too young to learn complex tricks. although she is very smart but she can not compare with a child. age can have her brain not fully developed? How long it takes for the comprehensive development of the brain?

I'm not sure how to link threads (I'm limited on my phone since my untrained B&G baby macaw tipped a glass of wine over my laptop!), but hopefully this will take you to one of Tab's posts;

http://www.parrotforums.com/macaws/32246-fargo-s-amazing-trick-video.html

Search this forum for topics from "tab xo" or search YouTube for "Fargo macaw tricks"

What is your Grey's name? We need to know the name of our future star! Even if our clumsy English/ American/ Australian tongues won't be able to pronounce it :54: You have a strong bond with your baby (your thread title says it all ) and im hoping you'll post many more updates and videos for us

thank lucy1 .^^. I've seen clips of fargo. but I do not remember the name of his / her until your link helped me recall ^ ^. fargo is amazing.

The name of my gray moon. hi there. Moon is my little love. I love it very much. I will try to update the moon clips to share with everyone

I love Kiwi whether he's the Einstein or the fry cook of the parrot world. He's a bird, he doesn't HAVE to do tricks or know colors or anything. He just has to be the sweetie his is. I just want to encourage him to have fun and to keep him occupied and happy. He's a very curious bird, so if nothing else, he's having fun with the target training

How long it takes for the comprehensive development of the brain?

Just like people, their brain development begins to taper off when they become sexually mature. For parrots, that's at around 4-6 years old. From what I understand, so long as you start them very young, the neural pathways for learning will form so that they can continue learning in the style they have been taught all their lives (similar to how Alex the african gray continued gaining new intelligence his whole life). And I think older birds can learn, but it's harder and they don't have the ability to progress as rapidly or grasp as many concepts. Especially when they are stubborn like my boy.

^ ^ Hope it will mature brain along with your age.

I also want to have an amazon like you. but I am not qualified to buy it ^ ^. it's quite expensive. in my country it cost nearly $ 5,000. you really happy

$5,000 for an amazon?! Where do you live that they are that rare? Here in the US, all kinds of birds get given away by the thousands. Our avian shelters are bursting at the seams there are so many unwanted birds. That's how we got Kiwi-through an avian shelter (kind of like a dog pound, but for birds). His rehoming fee was only $350, but he was older and wasn't a very nice bird when we took him in. Hand reared babies cost about $500-$1500 depending on species.

Just curious, but what do you mean by "you're not qualified" to buy one? Do they have permits or something to own parrots where you live? Not that theres anything wrong with that, there should be permits to own parrots so there isn't issues like we have over here They take a lot of dedication, patience and work that most people just aren't willing to put in. It seems as though you've put in the work, and just look at the results of a well loved, well trained parrot! It really shows

was in Vietnam. I just Loriculus vernalis country, Psittacula eupatria
Psittacula himalayana (finschii), roseata Psittacula, Psittacula alexandri. The different types of parrots we have imported from Thailand. My African Grey is also imported from Thailand farm. a few are from the U.S.. where I live they do not require legal documentation to support. I said that I could not afford to buy 1 amazon although I enjoyed it. because my first graduate student. I do not have the money ^ ^
