Remember to Help Me! ... and I'll be a great pet! |
Are you gifted with common sense? If so, taming your bird should be fun.
Consider these:
The average home provides an ideal environment for pet birds.
Birds are naturally friendly animals.
We win a bird's friendship by showing ourselves as consistent, caring people.
As soon as birds lose their fear of us they-
-enjoy receiving our attention
-like to be touched
-want to eat out of our hand
-willingly communicate (vocalize) with us
-become curious about almost everything
-Fear of people is the main barrier to birds becoming loving pets. Newly purchased birds are almost always full of fear.
