Some birds never want to be touched, and that's okay. Teach target touches, stationing and games instead. Many trusted birds start asking for contact on their own terms. #ParrotCare #BirdBehavior #BirdTraining

Bites when picking your bird up off the floor? Stop reaching down. Lead it up onto a low perch with a target or treat first, then ask for the step up. #ParrotTraining #BirdBehavior #ParrotCare
