basis, this can create problems later on. It is better to be firm at the start and as your pet learns what they may or may not do then you can be a little more indulgent when they have learned what is allowed and what is forbidden. When you have to rebuke your pet never raise your voice this will only make them over excited. The level of noise in general in your home will also affect a parrot, if you have a noisy household you may find you gain a loud parrot to match. Training your bird should be regular and consistent. Do not allow bad behaviour on one occasion and then try to discourage it later. A regular routine when your bird knows what to expect each day will always be more successful than an unplanned regime. Parrots know exactly what time of day it is and when it is time for their meals, when it is bedtime and when it is a new day. Even the moving forward or back of the clock does not fool them. Parrots also have very good hearing and they can smell food cooking from quite a distance. My birds are all mad about pasta and they know when their favourite vegetables are on the boil! If you expect your pet to be one


hundred per cent well behaved all the time you will be in for a disappointment. As you gain experience you will get to know any odd foibles your pet may have and while certain species have predictable habits you should always bear in mind that every bird has its own personality and you cannot judge behavioural issues just on the basis of a typical member of a species. One of the most important points to bear in mind is that your young bird will grow up with a personality which YOU helped to form. A hand reared bird will also often exhibit behaviour and habits which it has learned from the person who hand reared them. I am often asked about how to teach a bird to talk for some people this is highly desirable and is often frustrating if their bird is not interested in talking. The truth is that to have a good talker you have to work at it, and it is better to buy a young bird which is already saying a few words. I personally have never based my choices on talking potential and I was always quite happy just to have a healthy and happy bird. Some birds just start saying things they hear at home on a daily basis and my birds who talk more or less copied one
