Hi All,

I am a brand new Daddy of two Parrotlets. I would love any and all advice that can be offered. I have read up on most of what I could find prior to adopting these two, but the breeder was ready to adopt them out so I took them in right away.
So I am eager to learn training (one like to nip way to much and hard).

Thank you,

Kevin "Specialist" Cobb

Hi Kevin,

welcome to the forum. You must expect to get a "love bite" or two :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: Sometimes they're just using their beak to climb or test something & not really biting nodding If they're getting all "fluffed" & lunging at you, then that's a different matter & they must be trained not to bite.

Here's a thread about the same subject, it should help you also.......................

hi and welcome to the forum, as everybody els has said time and patience with the little darlings is what is needed. I have 3 parrotlets a breeding pair which i hope to breed from next year called sky and scooby, but these 2 are still quite tame , i handle them both daily and scooby still likes to hide behind my hair like he did when i first got him, sky is not so tame but she will step up when asked to , but my favorite is smurf she is my little baby she is silly tame , but she can still give a nasty bite when she does not want to come out of her cage.
good luck wave wave
