When he starts talking words..like Hi, etc. I go back in the room and talk nice again. I have found that he does this when he's bored. I have moved him to different rooms/picture windows in the house every couple mo's Near the kitchen, living room etc. Since they are very social , I've learned they do not like being alone or ignored, they need to see whats going on. I just need help with stopping him from biting when I start to proceed with arm training..Any ideas ? I’ve walked away from my 4 yr old /Macaw on several occassions, it works.

I ignore him and he won't stop. I've read some articles and used the "no" and "mean face" tactic which worked for about a week. He is back to it again and it is the most nerve wracking sound and very difficult to deal with. I have had him to the vet and she said he is fine and healthy. Nothing in the home has changed. I have been trying to spend more and more time talking to him and have recently been able to take him out of his cage and hold him in a towel (wings are free).

Thank you. This is a great site. It has been helpful with this new bird owner. I rescued this bird out of a bad home and i have been trying to learn as much as possible to make him comfortable in our home. I will have to teach my husband the dont react lesson. hopefully this will help. Patience is not his vurtue. I will also be doing more health checks more often. Thanks for all your hard work to put this together. Wow you just answered my main question. Thank you. This is a great site. It has been helpful with this new bird owner.

He is doing great and is now learning how to talk. I have been reading your information on Bird Diet and nutrition. For the first 3mths I fed him Tops organic pellets. I recently switched him to a organic whole food www.bird-elicious.com. After reading their website, I just had to try it for my bird. He loves it. It has over 50 dehydrated fruits, veggies, seed etc. They say you can use this as his main staple food, however, I feed him organic apple, broccoli, cauliflower and a little organic seed as a treat every other day. What do you think of this regimen for birds??? Its supposed to be better than any pellet out there. There are so many pros and cons as to what is considered good nutrition for birds. Its a bit confusing. I was hoping you can check out their website and give me your thoughts on it. Thanking you for all your great information in the past, present and future.

I have a problem though.My 6mth old galah has resently started refusing to come out of her cage. Before as soon as I opened the cage door she would be right there waiting to hop on my hand.Now she just screams at me and either hides in her bed or bites me.I am trying to think what has happened lately.We did buy her a new stand to sit on when she is in the house but that was a couple of months ago? We did have a workman here putting up a fence while we were at work, do you think he may of yelled at her or hit her cage or something to stop her from screaming? She does bark like the dog and scream a lot which is driving me nuts.But if it is something to do with the workman why she taking it out on me?Or could it be because it is mating season?I am really upset cause she used to be so gentle and loveable.Please can you help?
