(Obviously if your bird is seriously injured you should seek vet care but IвЂ™m not referring to that dangerous of a вЂcrash landingвЂ™) Always think how your easy situation in your apartment or house could be escalated to put the odds against you and how what youвЂ™ve done up until now will affect that. Think about if your bird crashed in a tree he would wait for you to come get him because thatвЂ™s what you trained him to do. We all want to go make sure heвЂ™s okay and help him, but itвЂ™s important that your bird makes his way back to you even if that means walking to you from a foot away and stepping up. DonвЂ™t just hand him the nut, help him figure out ways to get to it.

Your bird is climbing around its cage and canвЂ™t get to a nut somewhere.

You can inch closer to peek around the corner so your bird understands it can get around it, but donвЂ™t go pick him up and make it easy otherwise your bird will learn to scream for a free ride every time you leave the room. If your parrot is flighted and wants to come to you but youвЂ™re around the corner and it canвЂ™t figure it out so it screams for you to come get him.YouвЂ™re literally telling him that when you call he doesnвЂ™t have to come because he can just wait and get picked up instead.

If you call your bird and he doesnвЂ™t come, donвЂ™t go pick him up.

Anything having to do with flight training.

Examples of things you should rescuing or giving in to your parrot with: And we all know you canвЂ™t do that for someone forever, and it only hinders that person. No one will learn anything about confrontation if all you do is fight that personвЂ™s battles for them. ItвЂ™s not about control, itвЂ™s about learning and allowing your bird to learn. Rescuing can also be seen as вЂњgiving inвЂќ to your bird which only lets your bird train YOU, instead of the other way around.

And it can take much longer to reverse than it would to avoid in the beginning.

If your bird is already used to being rescued you have a big, hard habit to break. Things that learning will only help your bird become more confident and desensitized to every day things in life.

They will come to expect you to do everything for them and make everything easy rather then accepting the challenge of how to climb down, how to descend, and how to get around that branch and realize itвЂ™s not impossible or all that hard. Rescuing also results in a bird dependent on you to save him all the time, rather than come to you for safety. Which one is better in the long run? Not rescuing.

Number 2 could take a really long time but in the end, your bird wonвЂ™t ever expect you to come get it. Now number 1 (rescuing) is a fast approach that has terrible consequences later.

Wait until the bird figures out how to come down to you whether through flight or climbing down.

Rescue the bird by climbing up there to get it down.

HereвЂ™s an example of this using freeflight: youвЂ™re recall training your parrot and it flies into a tree.

When I talk about rescuing in this post IвЂ™m not talking about adopting your parrot from a rescue facility. Photo by Dave Location: Reno, NV Cuddling: Moluccan Cockatoo 'Pooh'
