So, this here is my ghetto attempt on trying to get a page up with a video (hopefully it works)
http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=4013888167661190150I hope you enjoyed the video.
Would you believe me if I told you that it probably took me gazillion retakes to do that? (I might be exaggerating a bit…) Hopefully, with more practise I’ll get comfortable and NOT sound like a boring robot.
So please no mud slinging 
I decided that it’d be best to send you a direct link to the online step-up training report in your e-mail. This way I can be sure that only exclusive members get access to it.
Now, if you don’t mind, could you “try” posting some comments below? I want to be sure that this thing works right.
Oh and while you’re at it, let me know what you thought about this video.
Okay, I’m done for now.
Look out for my e-mail tomorrow

all seems very interesing so far. i have 7 year old africangrey, he was hand reared. im here because even though he was han reared he is only semi-tame. i hope he is not to old to he properly tame. i am very willig to put alot of time nd effort in. just need help and ideas. kelly.xx
Thank you for the information I really appreciate it. Thank you for sharing your expertise. I have a spoiled rotten little green quaker parrot who I would not trade for love nor money. =) I found the info on getting the parrot away from his/her cage to be interesting (makes very much sense). I had not thought about training him away from his cage.
I have basically only one problem with my quaker… He threatens my husband. He will fluff up his feathers, his head will get to bobbing, and he scrapes his beak on his perch (like he is sharpening it up). I can usually look at my parrot and tell him to be nice and he will allow my husband to pet him. However, if my parrot is on my shoulder my husband cannot touch him no matter what. My bird will attack!!!
I am thinking this means my hubby needs to spend some 1 on 1 time with my parrot, but my husband says when I am not home and it is just him and the bird the bird screams until I get home.
Thank you for any advice you might have for me.
P.S. I liked the little jokes you inserted in the video/PowerPoint presentation.
i loved your video clip and am expecting a few more clips.actually could you please emphasis on how to teach the parrot to talk.
he is just a baby.he is 2 &1/2 months old,so when should i try to teach him and how.
waiting in anticipation,
Vineet
he is in his teething age and loves to bite objects.so do you recommend any special object for him to bite?he is even plucking his feathers out,the end ones.
is it natural process or is he in any kind of discomfort?
Thank you for sharing your experiences with us pet parrot lovers. I am the owner of a Aratinga which has been illtreated during most part of its life. I hope I can show him (or her) we human beings can be trusting and be part of his family!
I have owned my quaker for 3 years and am at my wits end with the screaming. No one in my family can take too much more of it. Is there a way to stop the loud screeching so we can keep the bird?
Hi,
I just bought home my first bird! So I am very excited about all this. I know NOTHING about what to do. I purchased a 4 mo old pineapple green cheek. She, ( I havent had her tested for the sex of “it” yet, but I am calling her, her lol) seems very tame. I have researched some on the internet about the “step up” process. So looking forward to all your help!
Denise
Hi,

hi the informsion is very good i hae a 5 yearold afican grey which i have only had aout 3 monts i was told he was tame he will let me touch hm thourgh te barsof his cage but not let me pick him up with ot biting i hoe your web site will hel me as e is a very funny chap thanks heidi
Danny,
Gypsi is a 10 year old cockatiel, I just got him back after a 3 year seperation( another Story)
anyway, he has been sneezing and biting alot, I think it is stress and fear but I cannot get him to stop biting me. We have been to the bird doc, they say no infection so i will try more patience and practice.
appreciate your video.
Thanks for your help.
that wast that helpfull sorry id lie to be shown what to do really .
Yes, very true about being the head or part of the flock. U2 bite is very powerful, compression type bite and very hard not to react (scars to prove it), but I have managed to place my hand arond his abdomen and place him into cage, This works for us, as he cannot bite m when my hand is placed there. Feedback please.
I laughed a few times, your parrot graphic is so cute!
However, I’m not sure if I’ll ever be able to break my bird of biting. She’s a cockatiel, and about 4ish years old. She actually runs(literally) from me if I try to put her back in the cage, and she will lunge and hiss at me if I make any movement toward her. She can’t sit on my shoulder because she’ll refuse to come off.
She’s a snotty brat, basically.
But in all the years I’ve had her, never have I allowed myself to ‘back down’ from her biting. She bites and flogs my hands, but I don’t jerk them back. My other bird I had (RIP) was tamed that way. But I don’t understand why it won’t work with this one. Gah.
Cute video, watch out for them people biters!
Brilliant
Thank you for the effort an time you took to share this information. It was helpful and appreciated. It is hard to find any information when you dont have enough money to pay for any of the advertised solutions.
Do you perhaps have any information on how to stop screaming or begging screeches of a moluccan cockatoo?
EDIT FROM DANNY: Yes, look out for my e-mail on day 3 (after your subscription)
Thank you for the info very helpful cant wait to get started
hello , its me again the video wont transfer me what can i do i m very anxious to get started …i think my bird will be too
Your advice is always so good. We have a baby African Grey now named Petrie and training from a young age is just as simple as you said it would be. Your training tips have all but fixed every behavior problem we had with our two older Greys as well. It has made such a dramatic difference that our seven year old daughter is no longer afraid of our once “bad biting bird” , but rather they snack off the same plate and are almost inseperable. Thank you so much!!! Keep up the good work.
Wow, I wish you were local and made house calls! My son bought a second hand young adult male Cockatoo. He has a mind of his own and simply bites to beat all and will lunge at him. He will also NOT step up PERIOD no matter how hard he tries to get him out. He has to wheel the cage to his bed, open the door and the bird will come out on his own. He will also get aggressive and chase my son’s girlfriend if she is sitting on the bed. My son is tired of getting bit. The bird did get a hold of me one night right on my wrist, chomped down, broke the skin and it took two weeks to heal. They have really hard bites! You make it sound so easy! lol But yet the bird loves to be out and play. He just does not like being handled. And that is what my son wants the most. To be able to get him out, hold him, play with him, cuddle with him, pet his head while the bird buries his head in his chest. Maybe with time. Just need to be patient.
I thought that youe information is very good. I have a 4 month old yellow necked conure, Buddy. I dont have a problem with the step up command at all he is verry good about that I DO get bit after he’s been out for awhile exploring ME, then he starts grooming on me till he draws BLOOD. Then I put him back on the purch for awhile and start all over.
awaiting more of your helpfull information….Royc
Great lesson on your clip, but you mentioned somthing about parrots bitting b/c of horomones. My husband and I have a Harliquin Macaw named Lola, she is a baby, only one and a half years old and she is great. But, just the other night challenged me, just like the senario, you mentioned, play time was over and we were getting ready to eat dinner so I made her sep up and took her back to her cage and when I put her down, then she lunged at me. Also Lola usually is nice to both of us but will run to me if my husband repremands her,is it horomones? Thanks again,
Tiffany Way
I have a two year old,female Pionus.I believe she is now hormonal.When we first got her everyone in the house could hold her.Now she bites eveyone except me.
Please help,any sugestions?
Great video.Would like to see more.
Hi Danny,
Just to thank you for all your efforts. I know you are trying to sell your book, but you also care and that for me is very important. Thanks for the video and for all the tips – they really have helped a lot to teach me about my African Grey.
I am also interested in knowing what I can do to prevent my African Grey from chewing my furniture wood. If you could give tips on this, I would be extremely grateful!
the video was very helpful to me, i’m really just starting to train him and this is all new to me, i love birds, but i just feel this bird don’t like me, but i’ll work around that i hope.
how do i clip his wings, that’s another thing i need to learn. his flight wings are already out, and he can fly short distances.
and another question if you don’t mind,,, is how can you tell on a cockitiel weather it’s male or female?
thank you for the information on the biting and the step-up, that also is helpful to me. thank you again and god bless you.
I have a quarker that is 5 years old. I think she is hormoral. She start attacking me the other day. She never has done this. I have work with her over the last few days and she is back to herself till last night. I started to put her to bed and was kissing her wing when she bite me on the face. I got her in two hands and put her in her cage. when I let go she took a big bite out of my hand. I have rasied her from a baby and she calles me mom mom. This is killing me to see this happed. Will this stop? Help
Toni
i am happy that i found your site danny . My african grey was kept outside in a cage but when i decided to keep him in the living he really loved it and started to talk imediately . wow ! now i am very happy to learn more from your site
Okay,thanks plenty for all what you are doing… trying to sell your book but at the same time helping probably the one’s that realy cant afford.
I wish you all the very best.
haha, pretty daggy but the thought is definitely there.
i have a 4 mnth old indian ringneck, biter!
also hates being removed from the cage ( she/hes is only new ) i have heard it is good to interact with them a fair bit initially and to the contrary, let them settle in their cage for a while first then interact, whats the correct method of taming?
cheers, tom
it was a good video. and now i understand what im doing wrong by pulling away. BUT…how do i get her to stop biting? she is a real pain in the butt! she bites when i take her out, she bite’s my neck or my ear when she’s on my sholder. she just bites and bites and bites. i dont understand. we try to give her treats and stuff but seems to work. if anyone has any info or tips please send. krysi16@aol.com
I have a lovely baby red-collared lorikeet. He loves to bite but he is not nasty – just curious. My partner is waiting for the time he breaks the skin so I want to be able to control some of this biting or my partner will not let him climb on… but you have given me some good guidelines to employ with him. He is only 12 weeks old, hand-reared by myself and I want to continue to have the upper hand. I am searching also for any training tips. Thanks for your help.
Thanks for the video every little bit of info helps, wish it was live video showing us in action how to stop biting
thank you for being human in this video.
The video was fine thank you. When we bought our Jardine Parrot we didnt have his wings clipped but now might be regretting it as he is distroying the house and pooing everywhere. My question is would it be too cruel to clip them now he has got used to flying about. It is also proving difficult to train him as he just flys off when he gets board with us Thanks again for all your help and tips
thank you,i only starting with my red tail african grey its still small i would really want to know more about how big my gage must be and were to put it
thank you
Hi I love the video. I would love to hear much more. I am so happy there is free information as I can’t afford to pay at this point in time. I just got my cockatiel day before yesterday and he has bitten clean through my three of my fingers on the edges. Needless to say I feel as if I need a blood transfusion. He is only four months old and was not hand fed or trained. He’s afraid in new surroundings I understand that and I had to put him in a parakeet cage until I could afford to get him a bigger one so I know he feels cramped and scared. I only want to love him and get him to love me back but I am so at a loss with this bird. I’ve owned two cockatiels before but they were tame and this one is wild. Any information that can help STOP THE BLEEDING i’d TRULY appreciate it. And making him happier and more secure. Thank You Mary Lou
He thanks for the show.
He i have got m parakeets for a long time i have been feeding them and taking good care of them. Then i thought it was about time they should get out of their cage. But i am scared that the will bite me. Still i had tried to at least tell my parakeet to jump down while they where in the cage but they wont listen to me. Well i was hoping that u will be able to help me. First i want to know how will i get use to them instead of getting scared of them. What if the have long nails. What do i do please contact me at my email if u don’t know it here it is (e-mail edited out by danny… don’t think you want the whole world to know).
good day to you all
you not boring at all specially cause what u r saying is what we want 2 hear. i have a blue ringneck and i love him to bits. we share a special relationship as i made him 100% part of the family but lately ponjo ( yes thats his name ) has become obsessively jealous at every member of the family when I don’t give him my undivided attention and I hope u can help me with my problem. If I don’t solve this problem soon ill have no alternative but to make new living arrangement for my wife & children as all of us can’t live under the same roof. Ha ha joke only
thanking you in advance
Hi,
Have a 2 year old Indian ring neck. Got him a few months ago. He will not come out of the cage at all. Has left it twice and ended up sitting on a curtain pole 20feet off the floor so no work can be done with him. Have been trying every day to tempt him down so he can step out but nothing is happening. Would love some help and advice.
I thought the video had some good information.
Reading some of the other feedback has me a little concerned though. I know to never put a bird on your shoulder. Yet, a couple of others have. My cockatoo never goes on my shoulder. Stays low, never up high.
Biting isn’t a concern for me and my Sugar. I also kow before any training is started, to clip their wings.
I would like to know a little bit more about training. I got my sugar to give me a kiss on cue, it is so sweet. I look forward to more information on training.
Thank you!
Hi Danny,
Thanks so much for the information! It was very helpful!
: )
Rina Deych
Thanks Danny,
that sounded good but what I’m waiting for is info on how to stop “honey” my sun conure to stop screeming all day if i dont hold her.
I am trying to ignore her 100 percent but it isnt working.
Thanks from australia
thanks man for the info, my parrot is an blue front amazon and he loves children, most children he will let them touch him any way thay see fit as long as its not hurting him, ive tried a lot of things and he still tries to bite me every time.
my daughter is his main handler, even though i bought him for the wife and i, he is about 10 years old and does not respond to many comands he does know the up command, but ive been bitten too many times to try it again i pretty much just leave him alone i would love to be able to do the things my daughter can do with him, he is so rotten, if he is out with the daughter , and she puts him down close by he will run after me to bite me, i try not to run so idont show fear and it seems not to work.
Looking forward to more lessons so I can teach Rosie how to be ultra friendly – he is a five month old Galah and already very much a part of the family. Great video and thanks so much for all the tips although Rosie doesnt bite and goes back into the cage without too much hassle at night time and I want to keep it that way. My two year old can pet him as can all the other kids – just a fantastic pet. thanks from down under
