Postby Komodeno » Wed Feb 22, 2012 9:06 am

I have tried training my birds to shake there hads NO but non of them will do that when I blow air to there face. How can I make them do that and then put it on cue?

have you tried shaking your head?i would pick one and teach that one the other two will likely copy since they can sometimes learn more quickly from another bird.

I watched the video and had tried blowing air but it is not happening.My Macaw will not do it and the G2 also.I will try with my CAG and see.Any other way tO teach this.I read in a book that if I put a tape on the beak of the parrot he will try to take it of by shaking his head.Is that going to work?

Try blowing from a different angle, just blowing at the front of Stitch's face didnt work for us, I had t blow from the side, into his ear. You can also try with their nostrils.

Ok I made a progress with my CAG-Casco.Be actually had learned to shake his had no very quick for only 2 trainings he is doing it on cue.I'm still not able to make the Macaw - Jack and Cockatoo -Goofy to shake there heads.
I will be trying by blowing from different angles.
I'm impressed how easy Casco learned the trick after I found the spot he will shake his head after I blow lightly on to his face.
