Hormones, fear or boundaries — stopping bites without breaking trust.
Naredba 'na ruku' temelj je ponašanja ptice kao ljubimca, a najbolje funkcionira kada ptica to odabere sama. Naučite prepoznati je li ptica spremna, najprije izgraditi povjerenje i oblikovati pouzdanu naredbu pomoću štapića za ciljanje i nagrada umjesto prisile.
Ptica koja nasrće, vrišti ili grize kada posegnete u kavez za vrijeme obroka čuva resurs, a ne postaje zla. Saznajte što to potiče, kako razlikovati čuvanje resursa od teritorijalnosti kaveza i boli, te kako je ponovno obučiti bez primjene sile.
Ptice se ne šetaju kroz vrata na povodcu, a jedina vrata koja su važna su vrata kaveza. Saznajte zašto je ujedanje na vratima kaveza teritorijalno ponašanje, kako naučiti pouzdan step-up i kako osigurati prostoriju prije otvaranja vrata.
Papiga koja napada novog partnera brani vezu u paru, a ne osjeća ljubomoru. Pokretači su hormonsko stanje, teritorij kaveza i način na koji ljudi dodiruju papige, a sve se troje može promijeniti.
Papige ne skaču na ljude, one lete prema njima, a velika papiga koja sleti na rame ili glavu nepoznate osobe predstavlja ozbiljan rizik od ugriza. Saznajte kako uvježbati metu za slijetanje, informirati posjetitelje i prepoznati uzbuđenost prije nego što dođe do ugriza.
