Help for Parrot Behavior Problems

Does your parrot bite? Does your parrot scream whenever you leave the room? Maybe your parrot is so afraid, you wonder if you will ever be able to have a loving relationship with him.

Parrots can be absolutely amazing companion animals. Unfortunately so much information available about parrot behavior and training has lead to the problem behaviors we see today. Parrot training methods based in force have taught parrots to bite or show fear responses. These parrots are no longer fun and are often considered problem birds and are left alone with little attention. This can lead to parrots learning to scream to get a response….even if it is just the sound of a person shouting at them to “be quiet.”

This situation can be turned around. Training parrots with positive reinforcement can change a problem parrot into a pleasant companion. It doesn’t matter if your parrot has gone through many homes, has a history of abuse, or has gradually developed problem behavior. There are solutions.

Books on Parrot Behavior Problems


In Barbara’s book “Good Bird! A Guide to Solving Behavior Problems in Companion Parrots” you will discover step by step instructions to help you address parrot behavior problems such as biting, screaming for attention, bonding to one person, afraid to leave the cage and feather picking. Each section offers an easy to follow recipe for different situations. For example how to address a parrot that screams for attention is different than how you would address a parrot that is screaming when you talk on the phone. This easy to read resource can give you the help you need to change your parrot’s problem behavior.

Parrot Training Ebooks



In addition to “Good Bird” parrot owners dealing with parrot behavior problems will enjoy Barbara’s Parrot Training Ebooks. Each Ebook contains written materials, video tutorials, audio tutorials and bonus materials to help address many different parrot behavior problems, including biting. The Ebook “Train Your Parrot to Step Up” gives step by step instructions on how to train a parrot who wants to bite to look forward to stepping up.  The Ebook “Creating Motivation” will help you learn how to get your parrot interested in treats and other reinforcers for training. The Ebook “Train Your Parrot to Take Medication” will help you avoid the fear responses so many parrots show after they have been restrained to take medication.  More Ebooks to help address different parrot behavior problems are in development. Be sure to sign up for the Good Bird Inc mailing list to be notified when a new Ebook is released.
