Clicker Training Research Paper

437 Words2 Pages

Is training a parrot to do tricks hard? I have five parrots who get more intelligent every day. Two are my parrots are rescues, the lady who had them did not care about them whatsoever, after 3 months after I got and tamed them I started clicker training. I 'm sure most people have no idea what clicker training is. It 's a small box that "clicks" that lets the parrot know it 's getting a treat for good behavior. I have learned a lot from doing this, mostly how brilliant these creatures can be. My parrots names are Xander, Rosie, Bella, Jackson and Mux. Xander is a Pied Cockatiel, Rosie is a Pearl Cockatiel, Bella is a Olive Green Budgie, Jackson is a Skyblue Budgie and Mux is a Hyacinth Macaw. Everyone of my parrots are from Australia except Mux, he is from South America, all hatched here in the United States though. I do not know much of Xander 's and …show more content…

Everyone of my birds love millet spray. I 'm sure you have no idea what that is. Millet Spray is a group of highly variable small-seeded grasses that all parrots seem to love. It is a really big help with training because they will do almost anything for it. Rosie loves almonds, she will eat just about anything you give her or at least try it. She will usually fly over to my bed if I am eating anything and try and take a bite. She is the sweetest one out of them all. I usually like to start training about an hour after I get home from school. Some of the tricks I 've taught did not even need the clicker, like teaching Rosie to kiss. She loves to give kisses, she will usually give me a kiss on the cheek when I pick her up. My SkyBlue Budgie Jackson likes to hang upside from finger, he likes to do it when their are a lot of people around so he can show off. Jackson also lays on his back, we are working on "playing dead" now, it is a real challenge. They do talk, they sadly Xander is the only one that can talk but sadly he has a small vocabulary but can say words like
"Hello, I love you and good

    The size of the seeds that are plentiful in a certain year, determine whether small beaked birds or large beaked birds make up a bigger part of the population. In other words, if smaller seeds are more plentiful, the smaller beaked birds will make up a greater percentage of the population, because the species adapted to the environment around them. As a matter of fact, these birds live on an island called Daphne Major, which is known as a laboratory of evolution. This video explored Darwin’s theories, while also highlighting the beauty of an area in the world, where unique animals are located. It is also explained in the video, that all of the animals on the different islands started from their own ancestors and eventually became many different species by adapting to the environments over time.

  • Research Paper On Lear's Macaw

    862 Words  | 4 Pages

    “Breeding Lear's Macaw is a most notable achievement as this species is the rarest and most endangered of all parrots. It has often been described as one of the greatest mysteries in South American ornithology for, until 1978, all that was known about it was that it came from Brazil. The location of this species had never been found in the wild by naturalists, although it was thought to exist in north-eastern Brazil, in the state of Bahia. Then in 1978, Helmut Sick, a Brazilian ornithologist, discovered the Lear's Macaw in an inaccessible wilderness area on the Bahia plateau, previously thought to be an unlikely habitat for any macaw species. A flock of 20 birds was seen, but the range of this species is apparently very limited and the total population small.
