Clicker training is the most efficient way to teach your parrot (or pet)  to behave in an acceptable way! Even parrots that don't have behavior problems will enjoy interacting with their owners through clicker training. Owners of problem parrots will be delighted at the ease with which they can effect change in their pets.

 Clicker training is a method training an animal to perform an activity willingly. It does not use force or punishment, and the results are impressive and quick.

What you need to clicker train.  A clicker and lots of favorite treats!! 

Most parrots have a favorite food treat that they will do anything to get. This is the food you want to use during training. If you aren't sure which is your birds' ultimate favorite food, place several choices before it and see which one he is most enthusiastic about. Gradually remove the ones that are not the most favorite and narrow it down to that one food. From that point on that food will only be used during training and for special rewards. It will begin sessions anticipating this treat, but eventually training sessions will probably become plain old fun that just happens to include a favorite treat!

Using the information in this book, you'll be able to train your bird to perform over 30 entertaining tricks, including shooting a basket, bowling, roller-skating, waving, and more. Training your bird is not only entertaining, but it actually helps build a better relationship between the two of you. You'll spend more time together and come to know and trust each other…and you will both have fun! Training your bird reduces boredom and increases mental and physical activity. Author Robin Deutsch, a professional bird trainer, guides you through all the steps to train each trick.

 HEALTHY BIRD WOULD LIKE YOUR PICTURES
            
2009 Parrot Calendar
            
Healthy Bird is working on a 2009 Parrot Calendar.  This calendar will sport an exciting new parrots layout each month. I pluralize the word parrots, as we hope to have a variety in each layout.  
            
  We would like to use your photo's!  Babies or adults, we'd like them all!  All persons who have submitted a photo that we have used, will receive a Complimentary Healthy Bird 2009 Parrot Calendar!  We ask for good clear, in focus photos, that have not been cropped or altered in any way.  Please do not worry about enhancing the background as we will be cropping the parrot/baby out of the background.  Please submit all photo's to calendar@healthybird.net
            
All Canadian & US days of interest and holidays will be highlighted.  
            
This calendar will feature SPECIALS each and every month for Calendar holders only!  These specials will be highlighted on the calender of the days they apply.  They could range from 10 to 50% off certain items to  free shipping, buy 2 - get 1 half price, buy 4 - get one free, etc.   When we are able to give a firm price for this calendar later in the year, we will do so.
            
            
 
        
    

Along with the addition of Healthy Bird Blog, we are also designing a new index for the 
On Line Catalog.  Stay tuned................. but hey while your waiting, check out the 
Specials.  In keeping with the new avian supplies, we have to discontinue some of the old.
These specials are on a first come, first serve basis!  Once they are sold, we will not be 
restocking a lot of the specials running.



Have a great day
