Oct 18 2022 4pm โ Step-Up and Voluntary Hand Transfers!
As a bird mama, I think transfers and step-up/step-down can be one of the most stressful aspects of caregiving these complex little ones. ๐ณ
A few months ago, I was really struggling with my cockatoo Isabelle’s transfers. She had developed some hormonal challenges and began giving me light pinches – or refusing to transfer altogether – mostly because she wanted to marry the neighbor ๐
Voluntary transfers are a really big part of our family. โค๏ธ I hate to force my little girls to do anything. I’m so big and they’re so little. Forcing – picking them up, grabbing them, chasing, forcing them off of my hand… it all damages their trust so badly. ๐
So Isabelle was super hormonal and wanted to marry the neighbor and there was a lot of cockatoo drama around this ๐
Sometimes we can’t know all the things, but that’s why there are experts, right? ๐ฅฐ
So!
I brought in the amazing Cassie Malina (a talented and experienced bird training expert, and our Parrot Kindergarten “School Counselor!”) to work with us and honestly?
She’s absolutely magical ๐
Like some fairy bird godmother she fixed us right up and we’ve literally been fine ever since. โค๏ธ Force free hand transfers right back to normal (whew!). No more pinches, either. (Also whew!)
So much gentleness ๐ Happy bird and happy mama!!
We think one of the best gifts we could ever give our little birds is training them to transfer โ to your hand, back to their cage, to wherever! โ force free.
Gentle, safer for fingers, and ever, ever so kind for birds – you can train your bird to step up, step down, and happily go pretty much everywhere. ๐
(Yes yes yes you really can!)
In this workshop, our Parrot Kindergarten behavior trainer, Cassie Malina, CPBT-KA, CPBC will show you just how do to that โ step-by-easy-step.
