The Towel Parrot Taming Method.

If you have an aggressive wing-clipped bird, using a towel may some you some nasty bites. Use a clean hand towel and capture your bird.

This may be easier said than done but be slow and patient and enlist the aid of a helper if needed. Wrap the bird very gently in the towel. Give your parrot plenty of room to breath but not enough room to squirm and escape.

Move to a very quiet room with dim lighting. A small room is good in case you have to recapture your parrot. Hold your parrot, wrapped in the towel, against your chest and talk gently to it. If it will let you, stroke its head. Wait for him to be completely calm, this usually takes about 15 minutes.

Release him gently onto the floor. Since this is an unnatural position for a parrot he will want to step up onto your hand rather than stay down at ground level. Lift him up for a few minutes while talking to him then put him back on the floor. Again he will want to step up and look forward to you approaching him.

You may need to practice the towel method for as much as two week before your parrot is completely tame. It really varies depending on the temperament of the particular bird.
