How to Safely Pet and Cuddle Your Bird | Parrot Behaviour | TheParrotTeacher

Hi everyone, thanks for watching my video on how to pet and cuddle your bird!

These tips will apply to most parrot species such as cockatiels, conures, macaws, ringnecks etc. But remember birds are all individuals!

This video won a poll I did on my community tab so I thought I'd make it for everyone who voted. Do please check it out as I often pop on polls, photos and little teasers on there!

How to pet your bird is a very common question people ask, so hopefully the tips come in handy. I've broken the video up into tips to encourage petting and then how you should do it!

Remember to keep interactions around the head and neck!

I hope you found it useful and some of the tips come in handy. If you have any questions please feel free to leave them in the comments as I’d love to chat to you.
