The first thing I will say on the subject is what NOT to do while taming.
Some “experts” still recommend that you punish your parrot in some way if he is disobedient By covering your parrot's cage. By banging on the cage. Even by screaming at the parrot. Other than alarming the neighbors, this will have no effect. Quite the reverse in fact. You need to build the trust of your parrot, not make him scared of you.
Your chosen method of taming will depend to some extent on the type of bird and his current attitude towards you. A large aggressive bird will need very different treatment than a timid smaller bird. Parrots generally have very strong beaks and a bite will leave you with a bad bruise or cut.
The four parrot taming methods I'm going to discuss are:
- Using food
- The towel method
- The rescue method
- Replacing bad behavior
