HOW TO USE OUR CLICKER AND TARGET STICK TO TRAIN YOUR PARROT:
The reason you clicker train is to teach your animal to LEARN. It is a way for you to communicate with your animal (specifically birds is what I am talking about but clicker training is done with killer whales, dolphins, horses, dogs and more!)
A clicker tells the animal EXACTLY when it does something right. Clicker training can be used to simply get your bird to step-up or to teach tricks and other various behaviors.
Simply click the clicker and give your bird (or other animal) its favorite treat. It doesn't have to do anything, just click and reward, click and reward... yes, click and reward... do it over, and over, and over again.
Your clicker is signifying that a tasty treat is coming their way and eventually, your bird will begin to look for the treat after hearing the clicker sound.
Once you see your bird anticipating the reward coming, you will know he's got it. He now understands that when he hears the click, he gets the reward and THAT means your animal is clicker trained! This may take a SINGLE training session or it may take a few. You only need to do this for a few minutes when your bird is a bit hungry so he is actually taking the reward. It's not much of a reward otherwise, is it?
Or at least, you have the very basics and can move on to actually teaching your bird something using the clicker.
If you bird isn't the slightest bit tame yet except for snatching that reward right out of your hand as fast as it possibly can... then you will want to click and reward your bird for even showing the slightest interest in you and just coming near you. This will lead to a bird willing to step up on your finger!
