Hand Taming Your Parrot

Taming your parrot can be a frustrating experience, but the time is well spent, and with these tips and tricks, you can end up with life long friend, and will never regret it!
Here are the tips and tricks to hand taming your parrot:
1. NEVER chase your parrot for this will make him even more frightened, you also shouldn't wave things at him for he will loose your trust completely. Most parrots don't like to be held completely for the feeling of being trapped and may hyperventilate possibly resulting in a heart attack. So I do not recommended it. There are many other safer ways to get your bird.
2. Wing clipping is a harmless way to keep your bird grounded and can be a very good idea. If your bird is not good flier, he could injure himself very seriously if were ever to fly into a window, wall, mirror, ect. Plus they will still be able to fly just not gain altitude, it will make your life much easier as for hand taming your bird. But if you think this is unnecessary there are many other ways to gain your parrot's trust.
3. A good way to get your parrot to trust you is to lure him to come on your hand with his own free will. To do this you can hold your hand near him with his favourite treat in it(spray millet works the best for Budgies). Your bird should eventually come to you. After this you should teach your bird the command 'step up.' Say these words while putting a little pressure on the birds abdomen (right above his feet) so he will eventually step onto your finger.
I have trained many parrots, they are wonderful pets, but take a great amount of effort and patience, but your time is well-rewarded and will result in a great new friend.
