How To Teach a Sun Conure To Step Up WITHOUT BITING
Вставка
- Опубліковано 17 бер 2019
- Many people forget (myself included) that the "step up" is a trick, and NOT something that your parrot will do simply because you want her to. This video serves as a great reminder how in ONE TRAINING SESSION I was able to train the step up. Even as a seasoned professional trainer, this is a simple and common mistake. Follow these tips to learn more.

Yes! Had to remind myself of that this week when my GCC started biting when I asked him to step up. Back to step up training, now it's the start of every session!
this is so FLOCKING brilliant! I wish more people knew this and respected it.
Lol nice one
My bird bites my finger when I try to lure it
@@aidanco5265 then try target training your bird on and off your hand
Fanimal Central ~ HD thanks
Fanimal Central ~ HD your the best
Great idea to do a tip of the day. Not overwhelming. Dave has a good vibe to imitate. Would love to see more of him. He is not as intense, and his energy is all about positivity 👍
Annette Cairns he’s the best 💗💗💗
Awesome reminder and important tips!
Thank you for sharing what you do and go through with your own birds, and not overlooking the small details that sometimes just get expected from our pets. Great tips
This was great! Short and sweet and to the point. Im currently working on step up with our Quaker after teaching him so many other things because he came to us with hand hatred. Its reassuring that you are having similar issues with birds that you've had for so long and obviously love you. Thank you.
This is the perfect video I was looking for. Thank you so much BirdTricks 💛
Such an awesome vid!! I wish good health to your birds and family!! 💙💙💜
Just you going through this with my rescued Hahns at the moment, he can be fearful/nippy around hands, not as much as he use to be. He does great target work but gonna give luring a go! Thanks guys, awesome work as usual!!! 😘
Nice to see that even you guys have to think about how to achieve your goal. When you are in training mode with someone else's birds I expect that bc you are first meeting with the bird and client. This was refreshing to watch you work thru with your own birds.
Just got a Sun Conure..Your family & videos are so educational and fun to watch! Thank you for being a presence and and inspiration for all animal enthusiasts..(especially our flighted loves)
*Namaste*
That was amazing the way you transformed that from the biting!Your bird is very cute by the way
WOW! Really liked the video editing work as well as the educational content. It's so cool!
Harish Hp daves an awesome video editor 💗💗💗
Great Tube as that surprised me that your bird wanted to bite you so much and a simple STEP UP took all that away Awesome
A great reminder!! I have to work so hard to interact with Woodrow that step up is always a MAJOR trick with her, but I have to keep reminding myself that it is also a trick for baby Tango, especially stepping up from places like my shoulder (which was once impossible lol). I'll make sure tomorrow to work on this with not just Woodrow but Tango as well for a nice refresher :)
Great reminder, thanks for sharing Cheers ♥
Very nice. Thank you for the tip Dave.
Great refresher for us. I purchased your small bird videos and they are awesome.
Orange Empire Birds thanks so much!!!
I love this concept! Its bite sized and easy to digest :)
Nice training tip!
This is so REAL! I have 6 trained-but-moody lovebirds and 2 kids, and so, yeah, we see this a lot. Thanks for the share!!!
I love your channel 🎀
Ok. I'm on it!!!.👍🏻...Thanks Dave
Dave has a very calming voice tbh
What a beautiful bird!
Thanks!! Very helpful
Yes sun conure training.
Thank you for this very simple video for step up. It really helped me and my kiwi to learn step up. Thank you
Video intro is awesome and music is cool... Nice parrot tip of day... So today dave you are host of this video.. Nice to have you..
And bird is very cute... Thanks for step up trick. Thanks for awesome video... Have a nice parrot day..😀
NAVEEN RAJ and he edited it - he’s a wayyyy better editor but don’t expect mine to be this awesome 😂
@@BirdTricks i think you too done good job...
Hey friends hope yall having a great day! Awsome intro!!
The editing is amazing! Love the new editing style
HorseLoves1 AJ Dave is an awesome editor but I’m afraid it’s not the new style as he edits our pro video courses for sale on the website but can’t always do my UA-cam ones ✨ but he will hopefully be doing more on the channel! So glad you like it.
@@BirdTricks Ahh. Well, it's new to me : P
I've seen people struggle to get their birds to step up, but I've never really had an issue with that with my birds. They don't always step up but they do most of the time. I let them be if they refuse as sometimes they really don't want to go to a person. That said I thin this is a good video to teach people how to teach their birds to step up
still useful three years after publishing! I rescued a caique a few weeks ago and after the first few days if asked to step up she leans down and bites, hard enough to bleed and repeatedly. She loves being petted and is rather attached to me, and will step up on a perch but this might be just what I need to get her onto my hand again.
THIS IS WHAT I NEEDED YESSS !!🥺👉👈
thnk u so much i needed the informashon
love you guys
Thank you,
adopted a 14 year old Senegal yesterday as his owner passed away. Having some trouble as he hates hands. Ill give this a go.
Thank you!
YES PLEASE I NEED THISSS
I have recently gotten into birds, and have been following you guys. I must say, very informative and I love how dedicated you are to your birds! What are you using for your target stick? Where can I find more information about your online training bundles? Thank you!
-Marie
Thanks
Great content guys, I've bought many of your courses and I'm super grateful. Highly recommended! Question: Don't your conures scream after one another when separated? And if not, how did you train them not to? And....how do you go about clicker training in your masterclasses with several birds present, doesn't that mess up the "every click equals a treat"-system? My two lovebirds (two girls but bonded since they were babies) are challenging to train in different rooms. Because my apartment is relatively small, they can hear each other no matter what, and they trigger each other's screaming back and fourth so they get easily distracted, giving me only short windows of oportunities to train. Not impossible, but demanding. I have stopped clicker training when they are in the same room (I bridge with "good + name" instead, which isn't as precise). We do have the basics and some tricks pinned down though, just takes much longer.
It will be very great
Thanks for the great information, Dave! And one question, so my sun conure is very aggressive around the table. He always flies to it and doesn't come off, he will just keep bitting me. I tried with a target and treats, his favorite toy, a perch, and other stuff and he just won't get off. Do you have any tips for this?
Great reminder... Thanks!!
Would you do a video on how to get a Bird (Indian Ringneck) to stay on the stand? We got ours at two years old, and he is learning a lot, but he is scared to death of the stand my husband made for me. He won't learn by targeting yet either, so that makes it harder. Thanks so much for all y'all's help!!
JAMS's Nana try desensitization training to work up to it ✨
Thx
My conure is adorable and does a lot of exploratory nibbles rather than bites but I need to encourage him to focus I guess when I start training . What treats do you use when training your conures please? Mine has just been weaned. Thank you!
I need some tips for starting to formally train my young (9 month old) crimson bellied GCC. What's some good beginner tricks? She's well behaved & already knows how to step up & even mimics "step up" for me. What's some other easy ones. She's also somewhat of a timid bird when it comes to objects not in her cage like toys, balls, sticks. She's really scared of everything so I'm unsure of what to do when it comes to a target stick or clicker. I'm also going to assume a training perch is best? And should I take the yummy seeds out of her cage while training so I can use them for treats?
Ahh. I've been using clicker and treat in the opposite hand to the one he's stepping onto. Will try it this way!
Cool 😎
We were lucky, the breeder taught our Grey to step up and we continue to do it. Does make life a lot easier.
Yes!
Any advice on having them come my one Budgie steps up still need to work on trust outside of the cage. Also do you have any suggestions if there not really treat motivated
What are you feeding it for the reward?
This is cool! When I got my 3 budgies Aqua was ok with stepping up without food but he is very selfish.
Can I use a "regular" sunflower seed (the ones one would buy at a store for oneself) as a treat for training? Even if they do have salt?
once i do this training for my conure what would be step 2
I always do the Luring method. It works with every bird LOL and it’s the easiest way to get them to understand
What do you use as a treat for your conures? I give my birds the Kaytee forti diet pro health as their main food source and they basically have access to that all day. I want to get them off of that because of all the seeds in there and maybe use seeds as a treat? Or should I only give them access to food at certain times of the day?
Can this work with a parent raised parrot?
Hey Dave, I've got an aggressive U-2 he's scared if I put my hand in the cage and will head for a corner if my hand get close he'll come after my hand ,I can give him a toy or a treat but I have to watch myself not to get with in the bite zone, if he's out of the cage and I get to close he takes off in the other direction , I try end to do the chopstick stick training he just grabs the stick away from me or bites the end off ( he's a chainsaw with feathers ) how do I gain his confidence and make it so he's not scared of me, oh and not bite !
Thanks for helpful video. My english budgie started to step up, but has stopped he's 2 years old and when he does come to me he flies back into the cage. Can you help, even just a little tip would be much appreciated, thanks.
I've been trying to train my Tiel to step up and I'm having the same issue, biting. he is target trained, that didn't work as he focused on my hand. I even tried luring him with treats, but he doesn't go crazy for millet like most birds so trying to lure him doesn't work. He will take treats from a millet stick, but not directly from my hand as it results in a bite. (He was grabbed to be taken out in his previous home, which is why I think he started biting. That's just a theory). I've been told to train him outside his cage, but the problem is, I can't get him out. His door is open all day long and he's never climbed outside it. The ONLY time I've gotten him out is I tried teaching him to step up onto a perch instead. He didn't get angry or upset but avoided it. That's when he climbed out, onto my shirt. Once he was out, he didn't have as much as a problem stepping up. However, if he got onto my shoulder he would begin bitting again. He loves scritches and kisses. It's just whenever my hand is anywhere below the head, I'm in for a bite. I'm wanting to try to train him outside his cage, but I don't want to keep using a perch that MAKES him come out. his crest when I do this is still halfway up, not pinned as if he were angry. Do you have any advice on helping him at least get out of his cage?
What about lorie's that can't be lured with seed?
Having a lot of trouble with my brand new from breeder baby. I resorted to trimming wings I was afraid she was going to hurt herself. Clicker training wasn't working so I tried going to clicker/target training. She seemed like she started to get it and then just didn't. I made sure she was hungry but she seemed more pissed than anything.
Isn't there going to be a new video of Rocko soon?
Sam Christenson yes, two!
Just rescued another parrot, 10 year old CAG, very scared of hands and won’t step at all, loves a head rub though. Back to basics of targets. Play bites HARD! So trying to irradicate that, too.
My conure still goes to bite my hands whenever I put them anywhere near him to step up. I’ve tried luring, targeting and putting my hand close to her and waiting for her to be relaxed (then using the clicker and rewarding as well as gradually getting closer). Nothing seems to be working- am I heading in the right direction?
I see. So since the finger becomes the queue, let's say my tiel is somewhere he shouldn't be and I need to move him back to his cage, would this kind of training work if I put my hand out for him to step-up?
Hey I’m still new to my little green cheek conure almost 6 months old I just want to know what behavior my little one is doing so it likes to jump on my shirt and climb on it and always wants to follow me but bites me basically anything that’s skin and to the point of breaking skin what does this mean ?
Can you help me with a question?
I have to move in June, i am not sure on how to move with my Sun.... Is there any advice that you could give me to help move her safely without stressing her out??
Oh I absolutely love conures. I'd love to have another bird but I don't feel I can give then enough love and attention with having to focus my life so heavily on work. I wonder are conures as independent as budgies? I know budgies get lonely but u can leave them for the day come home spend a couple hours with them.and they seem to adjust very well as they are happy doing their own stuff during the day.
I think conures are more high maintenance but pretty much all species are!
Main kept bitting and not going to my hand what should u do ?
what if they still bite with the lure before stepping up or with the target? Mine bites, thinks about it then steps ups. After finishing her treat, she bites really hard, what can I do?
Hi there can you explain why she s biting your finger? I don't get it since she s not very touchy in any other way. Btw she s still soooo cute omg.
Where do you get a clicker 😫 I need one
Hi! so my cockatiel is acting up. He well go onto my hand only and solely bc i have millet. And when its out of its cage he well fly to me because he wants millet. And i cant get him to step up without millet and when i do try he bites me. And i dont know what to do because he well bite me and he dosnt let me pet him so that cant be a alternative reward if and when he well step up.
OH MY GOD YOU ARE THE BEST MY CONURE KEEPS BITING ME
So I have 2 teils and i bought 1 at 2 yrs old the other as a 7-8month old. The younger one I hand trained from when i got him so he steps up perfectly fine. But the 2 yr old i bought "trained" were he steped up but when i brought him home even after 4months now he ONLY Steps up when he wants and when u pic him up he imiddiatly turns to try to jump off but cant cuz his wings are clipped. How do i fix this? He only lets me pic him up if im holding my other bird becuase they wont leave each others sides :/
Hi my sun conure doesnt wants to step or listen to amy commands. I took her when her old owner wamma rehome her. She's already 9 mths any ideas how to get her to bond with me.
What if your bird isn’t interested in treats, and doesn’t want to be touched (like scratches etc)?
I need help my sun conure won’t step up I’ve tried this method for two days and it didn’t work I was wondering if you had any other ideas or maybe I’m doing something wrong?
It teached this to my ring neck nkw he is tamed but still bites
I have a Sun conure! And a jenday conure!
Conure sun set my fly free male
Aha! A Dave video! 😀
Lorettefromchaos bug him you want more 😜 so I don’t have to 😆
Yes yes, Mondays are yours, Thursdays are his, I vote for that 😀
Haha I WISH I could get him on here that often! @@Lorettefromchaos
I have a brand new rescue I can’t get out of the cage. She has been so abused and neglected. It’s only been a few days and I’m just not sure where to start with her. Can I start targeting in the cage?
yes, you can do target training in the cage,
I am getting a budgie in a couple of months! So should i give him a treat every time he steps up?
Yes
In the beginning yes. This is more about never expecting it and always treating it like a trick, even if that means eventually using random rewarding.
can you help me tame my lorikeet he has never been tamed and I need help taming him please help me
How can I teach a bird to step up, with only one hand? I have lost the use of my left hand because of a stroke. Therefore I can't click and reward with my other hand if the bird has stepped onto my hand! Please help! Thank you x
i tried doing that but my bird just ignores the food and bites me
What food are you feeding it? If its something it gets everyday or often, it won't see the food as a treat, and won't be motivated to do what you're asking them.
@@NeonThe1st when i train him, i use millet spray, which i only give to him occasionally as a treat
@@catherineli1794 are you sure he likes it? If it's not the test then maybe it's because you're going to fast with the training, or he doesn't trust you yet, maybe try some bonding first?
@@NeonThe1st hm, good idea! thank you
is it normal for sunconures to shiver ALL the time?
I have a pineapple green cheek and when he bites he latches on, lily was gentle compared to my bird. Do I still use the same technique? Thank you
I’m in the same situation, my blue Quaker parrot doesn’t let go when he bites
it work
Conure sun set my sunny boy
I just got a baby lovebird he's 4 months old. He chews everything and loves to fly on my head and shoulder's. When I ask him to step up to get him off my shoulders or head he screams and bites me. Has anyone had this issue? If so how did you correct the behavior?.
do you get used to the pain haha ? I have a 5 years old Brown head parrot that was abandonned many times because he randomly bites and im trying all of your tricks but the pain is hard to manage ! Do you get used to it ?
How long does it take an older bird to step up if you lure and use a clicker?
Korede Adeyemi it will vary bird to bird
This is my dream, to get my bird to step up. A blue crown conure.
I tried this & it brilliantly worked! But another problem I am facing is that if I try step up without treat he still bites
Solution pleaseeee. . . . .
