We have a cat and a parakeet. We keep them in seperate rooms most of the time. When we have had them in the same room, we have had to grab the cat when he approached the cage. Is there any chance that we can train the cat to not go after the parakeet and train the parakeet not to be afraid of the cat?

How do you train your parakeet?

Filed under Parakeet Training

I have 2 lovely, but not very friendly parakeets. I’m fairly new to all this (i.e – owning/training parakeets). How do you guys train your parakeets? I’ve seen videos of parakeets flying onto hands, heads, cuddling upto owners etc and I have no clue how to get my parakeets to do that. My birds are never locked up (except at night while they sleep), wings aren’t clipped, they get spoilt with food and treats…

Please help!
: )
Thanks…

My sister’s parakeets wings are clipped, so they’ve learned to enjoy riding a toy train rather than the ceiling fan.

Train a Parakeet – Train Your Parakeet to Talk

March 11, 2010 by admin  
Filed under Parakeet Care

Parakeets are small, vibrant and lively birds that can be a wonderful addition to your family. While some parakeets learn to talk without coaching or training, some will require encouragement to get their beaks speaking. Some parakeets only start talking when their owners let them hear specific phrases, words and sounds. If you successfully train a parakeet to talk, you and your family will love your pet even more.
A nourished and well cared pet will more likely demonstrate an interest in repeating sounds as well as talking. A parakeet that is watered, well-fed, and has a mirror and other plaything in his cage is the best aspirant for speech training. This is for the reason that loved pets will want to gain knowledge on how they can communicate effectively with their master and provider.

Itâ??s important to note that the male parakeets are distinguished as good talkers. So if you want to have an outspoken pet, itâ??s best to adopt a male parakeet. This doesnâ??t mean that female parakeets just make sounds and do not talk, but in general the female birds are slower in adapting new words and training a female bird might not give you the results you are looking for.

Remember, even if you choose to train a parakeet that is a male, it doesnâ??t give you a guarantee that it will talk. Some parakeets only become skillful in whistling, but talking is not a talent every bird of this kind desires to learn. You should be patient enough to see results. Some breeds of parakeets that are more likely to utter words are the Alexandrine, Australian, English, Plum-head and Ring-necked parakeets. They are also known for having the ability to distinguish individual objects and even people.
Parakeets find it easier to repeat or reiterate words exhibiting hard syllables. You should examine what words are more difficult to speak than others. One of the common phrases parakeets speak is â??pretty birdieâ?. This specific phrase encloses hard syllables that make it effortless for talking birds like parakeets to repeat or mimic. You should think of words and phrases containing hard syllables and say them to your bird frequently.

Birds respond well with a dark surrounding. So when you start your training session, you should darken the room to get your parakeetâ??s full attention. Begin saying a phrase or word and repeat it several times. Teach your bird three times a day for about fifteen minutes each. Donâ??t get disappointed if your bird didnâ??t talk immediately. Put in mind that most birds take several days or even weeks before it speak the phrase or word youâ??re teaching.

If you go to work during weekdays, consider making speech training sessions on a recorded tape and leave it to someone who stays in your house. This will not only save you time and effort but the training will be more consistent with this strategy.

If you follow these steps to train a parakeet, your pet will start repeating sounds and words in no time. This will also make your pet the center of attention in your home, making you the proudest mentor ever.
