Answer 1

Patience and perseverance is the top-most thing here. Age also matters; a younger bird will generally tame quicker, but an older bird will also make a great pet with a bit more time and patience. The first thing you need to determine is the bird's personality. If the bird is passive (introverted), you need to initially approach it less directly and take the environment extra seriously; noise or jumpiness stresses out a passive bird. A passive bird will also take a little more time getting used to direct contact, and hence may require a little more patience to tame. Most older or neglected, abused birds are passive on average. If the bird is active (extroverted), it will take much more easily to direct contact and enjoy the interaction it gets without much caution. On the flipside, an active bird may also be more demanding of attention than a passive bird. Whatever the bird's personality, active or passive, it needs to be approached and tamed gradually under any circumstances (drastic change is stressful), but only with different techniques, depending on the personality. And any bird that is to be tamed needs to be healthy and calm; this means enough fruit, veggies and freshwater in diet, and a quiet, relaxed environment to live in. An unhealthy or stressed bird would rarely want to learn anything.

There's a great book on taming parrots called "Guide to a Well-behaved Parrot" by Mattie Sue Athan. It's a great book for all kinds of parrots -- big or small, young or old -- and contains some wondrous techniques, from simple step-up training to intricate and complex techniques that few parrot training books I've come across had. The Internet also contains some great info, although you might have to scan a bit hard to get to it. So keep researching, don't give up, have patience and perseverance, and get the book. Hope that helps...

Birds we keep are Exotic, dogs are Domestic, Major Difference in how each is treated and learns to trust us.

Birds don't like sudden unexpected movements, so always talk to the bird before you get close to the cage so he knows you are coming. Place the bird in cage where he can watch the family, but not be in the line of foot traffic.
