Recall Training for Safety
Training Webinar
April 22nd 2025 4pm – 5:15pm (approx)
Do you want to train your parrot to fly to you instantly in case there’s an emergency or they fly away?! Here at Parrot Kindergarten, we know how stressful it can be when your parrot won’t come to you.
Do you worry about your parrot flying off and not knowing how to retrieve them? Or do they ignore you when you call them in their room?
Look no further! Join us for this upcoming webinar for both flighted and non-flighted parrots. We will show you ethical methods to ensure that your parrot is safe and healthy.
As parrot caregivers, we understand the challenges that come with training our feathered friends. That’s why Justice has taken the time to develop a technique that is not only effective but also compassionate towards our parrots.
In this webinar, you’ll learn:
– The importance of building a strong bond with your parrot
– How to use positive reinforcement to encourage recall behavior
– Techniques for training flighted and non-flighted parrots
– How to make training fun and engaging for your parrot
