Clicker

[Komodeno]

I'm currently training my parrots without the clicker.I just got one but I'm not really sure if i need to use it.I have read some books about trick training and there was written that the. Licker may actually slower the process if you wish the parrot to respond on verbal praises and treats.They were saying that casing out the clicker may confuse the bird.
What do you think.Shell I introduce the clicker or just continue verbally to parse my birds and give them the treats?
How do you train?Is the training faster with the clicker or without.

I find that using a clicker is a huge benefit. The parrot (and you ^^) know exactly when it did whats right and it will speed up the learning process. I would start using the clicker if I were you, but make sure to teach them that click=treat before using it for any actual training!

Yeah I agree. The clicker doesnt DO anything actually, i just MARK the exact moment of the behaviour you wannna reinforce. So is very usefull and its really helping me and my bird, without a clicker we would be taking much more time to get right anything.
