Giving kisses.

I finally was able to teach my bird some of the basic tricks. I taught my Parakeet to give kisses. It only took ten minutes. All I did was kiss his beak and give a treat and he learned.

Does she make a kiss sound or just rubs her beak against you?

Right now just rubbing his beak on me. How do you teach them to do the sound? After saying can I have a kiss and then kissing his beak and giving him a treat, he caught on and started giving the kisses!

I suppose the same with any vocalization, just keep repeating it and hope they pick it up and want to repeat it :D

Cute :) Just do the noise whenever you kiss him and he will learn.

Our male Vosmaeri Eclectus LOVES kisses, he does the sound too, it almost sounds like when you hear a kiss on a cartoon. He would have kisses all day if he had his way, puts his beak against your mouth and waits for you to kiss him, then does the noise back :)

My baby CAG who is 6 months also givess kisses now. He also makes the noise although we taught hima different one, a series of three kissy noises, he repeats them and just comes back for more and more kisses. He learned wolf whistles at about 5 months and now does one after kisses :P

Our new baby U2 is very affectionate and I give her ksises already, she comes back for more and just puts her whole face against yours, very sweet :)
