Instruction
1. It is the best of all to accustom a parrot to sit down voluntarily to you on a hand. For this purpose have patience and be going to give enough time. Slowly, daily accustom the pet to yourself. You speak by a quiet quiet voice, do not do sharp movements, communicate with it. Over time your efforts will be surely rewarded. It is useful to make the following exercise. Approach a cage a quiet step, at the same time tenderly talking to a parrot. Without doing sharp movements open a door of a cage and slowly push in it some bird's delicacy. You hold it on the opened palm or in fingers. If the pet shows extreme concern, just put a treat and smoothly take away a hand from a cage. This exercise needs to be carried out before the main feeding, i.e. to the moment when the pet is hungry. Gradually the bird will like to you trust and will begin to take delicacy even in close proximity to your hand, and then to get on it. At patient approach the parrot will please you and long-awaited jog it can do. And, it will do all this itself, of own will.
2. Sometimes it is necessary to pick up a parrot, for example, to examine. Here several recommendations for this case.1. Without sharp movements open a door and cover with one hand an exit that the pet did not fly away. 2. Other hand accurately catch a bird. Her body has to appear in your palm so that it was not squeezed. The forefinger is on the top, and big and average - under "cheeks". The ring finger and a little finger reliably fix legs, a tail and wings.3. At the same time the second hand remained free. It you can give to a bird medicine or do other manipulations for the sake of which you also caught it.
3. The big parrot can scratch or bite the owner. Therefore at capture use a small terry towel. You hold the head with a big, index and middle finger of one hand. Also, as well as in a case with the little pet. Record legs, a tail and wings other hand as if you hold flowers. And, of course, for giving drugs or cleaning of a cage you will need the help of other person.
