Train your lovebird to be a good companion

A lovebird is really a cute, loving, and fun companion for just any bird lover. It lives for conversation with people and its fellow birds. The lovebirds aren't, however, without their own faults. In fact several are known to be quite opposing for their endearing name. In case you do not provide enough training of love bird, they will frequently become temperamental as well as develop behavioral issues. It is essential that you should spend ample of your time with such kind of bird. Proper training of love bird will make sure using a lovebird that likes to spend time along with you. Here are a few common problems associated with Love birds, along with some ideas for getting rid of them.

Some species of lovebirds tend to be more vocal than others, but all makes some noise. This is particularly true in the early mornings, evenings, or when the bird is actually excited. If the love bird’s needs are satisfied and you will find no signs of underlying health issues, the screeching is most likely an effort to get attracted. And while you should give your lovebird lots of attention, you can’t be anticipated to spend every day playing with it. Training your lovebird politely is an effective method to combat this issue.
When your lovebird screams, don’t give it any positive or negative signs. Try not to look at it, and go away from the room if you are able to. Return when it's become quiet, and provide attention when it does anything much more positive. Many lovebirds don't talk, so you might have to settle with whistling, wing flapping, or a technique.

Whenever a lovebird plucks its feathers, it might be having a health related issue that needs instant medical attention. It’s better to take a plucking bird to the vet, just to remain on the safe side. If you do not find any such medical problems, the plucking may be probably due to any kind of emotional problem. Lovebirds may often pluck once they are not getting the required attention. Training your bird more regularly might solve this type of issue. Love bird training begins with you making the dedication for your lovebird.
A gnaw from the lovebird is less painful than that of a large bird. Nevertheless, it is an undesirable behavior and really must be treated accordingly. If there have been no activities which cause the lovebird to fear, he may end up being using biting to obtain what he desires.

A quick nip will get your interest, right? Consider the situation under which your bird bites can help you determine about training the lovebird. Do not respond to the bite by shouting and tugging away - this can only strengthen the actual behavior. Instead, stay quiet and drive your hand towards the bird. Once the bird doesn’t get a response, he'll understand that it serves no purpose. Training a lovebird may be very rewarding when the training steps are adopted.

Potty Train your Lovebirds...

As a prestigious owner of a tiny lovebird, you'll know that these birds are very intelligent. They can be 'potty' trained to poop on a paper or in a trash container instead of around the house.

How to train?

Dog books will help you a lot to learn the potty training your lovebird. Dog training involves showing a right spot every time after each meal, but lovebirds are also a lot like that, with one really BIG difference: they go as often as once every few minutes!

Uncover the birdcage in the morning after it poops. Wait till it completes. Immediately open the cage once it finishes her/his act, otherwise the lovebird has no reason to associate the action with the result.

Always open the cage immediately after pooping. After few days or weeks, the bird may call you immediately after pooping to let her out.

Potty training lovebird may take few days for some birds or it might take few weeks for others. Hence it always requires instructor's patience and persistence.

Some of my friend's lovebirds hesitate to poop on their favorite human perch as they're having some sort of instinctive desire.

Choosing suitable word for pooping is essential. The same word should be used for the act by all of your family members. For example- you can say- "Poopie, go poppie, poppie!" once you identified the act of defecation. The bird immediately respond and it will go to T-stand or newspaper to poop. Say- "good bird!" when he/she was done.

By means of this act you can build positive binding with performing the action of pooping on her own and the word poopie.

Potty training your lovebird will help your lovebird to enjoy freedom outside the cage without the constant clean up.
