How do you tame a extremmly wild parrot i have a ringneck.?
Indian ringnecks are very protective over their cage, and dont appritiate people coming up to their property all the time. However they need to learn that this is okay. I have recently baught a wild indian ringneck too, a week ago now. He was 2 year old when I got him, and he is sort of tamer now. So Im sure you could make a really tame bird out of a baby. So what you need to do, is for a couple of days sit down with the cage, and talk to him for about 30minutes per day. Just tell her about your day or whatever, read a book. Then when he seems more comfortable with you being near him, open her cage up and talk to him. Repeat this for a couple of days. The next thing you want to do is rest your hand in the bottom of his cage and talk to him. Keep doing this for a while until she doesnt mind your hand being next to her. Then you can start feeding him monkey nuts, millet spray or whatever through the bars. Repeat this and then you can try feeding him them with your hand with the cage door open. She might not do it the first time, but be patient, just try again every day. This routine may make your bird more comfortable with you. What I have done to make him more use to me, is i take the food bowl out for awhile so he's hungry. Then when he is sat on his perch I will open the cage door and offer him the food bowl. When he comes to the bowl because he's hungry I praise him alot 'oh what a good boy' 'its nice isnt it baby' 'good boy'. And just continue talking to him while he is eating. I hope i helped, and happy taming. Thankyou:)
How do I tame my scared ringneck?
First, do a web search on “How to tame a parrot.” There is a lot of good advice there, including many YouTube videos.Second, have a lot of patience. You have what is essentially a wild bird; taming him, which means getting him to trust a giant predator which weighs about 100 times more than he does, is going to take a good long while.
How do I tame an older vicious African grey?
Well, I honestly don’t recommend my method for anyone else. But it worked.Sammy is a cagebound grey we acquired. Sammy would savage anyone who ventured so much as a fingerlength into his very large cage, even when someone was feeding him. His hobby was chewing things apart: this is a grey whose mandibular muscles are so developed they’re obvious even through the feathers.But, this behavior of his meant that we just couldn’t handle him for things like medical checkups, far aside from socializing him.So, I did something that, again, I do not recommend for anyone else.I got myself comfortable against the cage, and put my left hand into a balled fist, and let him hit me. Again. And again. And again. Eventually blood ran down my elbow. He hit me 40+ times while I looked at him with my eyes half-lidded, calm & relaxed, glancing away as if bored from time to time.After around ten minutes, Sammie stopped striking at me. He had a long pause, looking at me sideways, then with his head upside down.Then he put a foot on my bloodied hand.I have been able to pick him up without the slightest problem ever since.The theory behind it was, he’d adopted this behavior because it worked; his cage was his safe place & when he bit the living crap out of people, they’d yell & retreat. I felt that if he was shown a hand that would not retreat, from someone with body language that showed no ill intent towards him, he’d understand a new behavior was required. When he realized his biting was ineffective on me, despite the obvious wounds & bleeding, he rethought his behavior. The old stuff wouldn’t work any more.Now I can not only easily pick up and he is happy about it, I can take him out of his cage for little walks & he makes kissy noises at my face & gets scritches.
Do bats attack humans? I go out running and there are a few bats flying near trees. Is it risky, as they sometimes fly just in front of my head?
as wild animals go, bats are actually incredibly docile. they have no reason to attack you. and are even unlikely to nip while you scoop them out of their beds, hold out their wings to examine them (younger bats do not have such solid bones as fully grown, so by extending a wing and holding it to the light, you can tell if a bat is an adult or juvenile) etc. they are extremely tolerant, and very laid back about being handled by a very large (to them) animal. I’ve handled many bats during population surveys, and never been bitten. the old chap that was in charge was very old school, and unless it was the larger two breeds (still easily fit in the palm of your hand) he would tell you to take your gloves off or you won’t even feel them. and this is largely true. they are so small and light, if you put your hand into a bat box, taking one out to identify the species IS tricky with even light gloves on. and most bat species can’t bite through those gloves to the skin, a few would barely leave a scratch on your hand if they tried. this is NOT recommended practice. recommended practice is to always wear thick gloves if you are handling a bat, and for most people I’d advise it. but he felt that gloves made you less able to handle the smaller species competently. if a roost was in a site not likely to be used by one of the two larger (still small) species, then your hand was going in bare. I’ve never been bitten by a bat.now vampire bats, tiny little things, MAY feed on a human. you can’t really consider this an attack. there are health risks from the saliva, but the way they feed is not an attack. they have numbing and thinning agents in their saliva, and just cut a tiny scratch in the skin. they can double their weight in consumed blood (hence the name desmodus rotundus, as it makes them appear quite bloated) but to host animals, the amount is still tiny and insignificant, and barely even felt. mostly they feed from livestock. occasionally sleeping humans, who do not wake.interestingly, vampire bats have a highly mutually benefical social structure. bats that are unsuccessful, return to the roost and request that their roost mates regurgitate to feed them. the bats will do so. if they do not do so, if they return unfed, other bats, not just the one they refused, will refuse them. so they take care of their communitiesso even the so called “scariest” type of bat is really quite adorable.
What does it mean when a bird flies in the house?
For me it means inside is outside and outside is inside and I’ve accomplished what I set out to do when designing this castle to fit perfectly into its surroundings. Emily Fisher's answer to What does your dream retirement home look like?There are no wide gaps in my house, no doors or windows without screens, and I’m fanatical about folks not standing with a door held open, because bugs.But some of my doors are quite large and high, so I can only guess that when birds get in they sneak through a door, right over my head.Once inside, they tend to hightail it to The Mermaid Lounge, which has 16 foot ceilings.They swoop up to the top, and there just ain’t a damn thing to do about it. Swing a broom? Yeah, right, that’ll only get you about halfway to the ceiling.Fortunately, there is a 12 foot high exterior door in that room, too, so by the end of the day, if the bird hasn’t mysteriously snuck out on its own as they usually do, I can block off the room’s internal entrance from the kitchen, and open the huge exterior double doors, bugs be damned.That always works, because birds ain’t no dummies, though it’s sometimes hard to believe when they slam into my windows from the outside.But I do have a more exciting Bird Inside story.One day Vicente was building a real bed for the guest room, after there having been nothing there but a Princess-and-the-Pea sized pile of desert-disintegrating foam. The guest room was to get the mattress from my bed, as I’d finally bought myself a new, all rubber mattress, and was eager to remove the gas-releasing old foam from the premises.Vicente had been building the bed pretty much outside, and he'd been in and out of the tool trailer, with the door left open. His friend, Gloria, was visiting that day, and at one point Vicente complained to her that it sounded like a rat or something was scrambling around in the trailer, so Gloria -- afraid of nothing but water -- went in to investigate.Low and behold, it was no rat, but A COOPER’S HAWK, STUCK BEHIND THE ORANGE BUCKET!Unlike other, smaller birds, when caught, the hawk expressed no fear; it's little heart didn't threaten to beat out of its chest, and it seemed perfectly calm, just curious. Even so, I made Gloria let it go as soon as I'd satisfied my photographic urges.....
Do burglars really avoid houses with dogs?
Our neighborhood is plagued by solicitors going door to door selling everything from meat to magazines, in spite of a township regulation that bans such activity. The township is rural and most people have at least one dog.At the time, I had a Chihuahua (obviously a barker), a pit bull who rarely made any noise other than his tail hitting the wall and a Doberman. A very large Doberman.There was the knock on the door and I waded through dogs, picked up the barking Chihuahua, peered through the side window and saw a man with a clipboard. Sigh. The big dogs just stood there waiting.I opened the door and cracked the glass door, trying to stifle the Chihuahua. The man backed up so fast when he saw the large dogs who were on either side of me that he fell off the porch. His face was a mask of shock and fear. I waved.I made sure every door and window was secured and let the dogs out in the backyard to run. The dobie and Chihuahua barked their fool heads of at a particular corner and I saw a rustle in the shrubs that was definitely not a rabbit. I watched denim and red plaid flannel go over the fence.Fifteen minutes later, there was an announcement on the local police facebook page about robberies and burglaries where a solicitor would distract the homeowner and an accomplice would enter through an unlocked door or window.I am quite confident that my trio kept me and my property safe. No one got bitten for which I am exceedingly grateful. But my dogs did what they are supposed to do: know who is a friend, know who is not. They were brave and loyal.And for the record, the six pound Chihuahua led the charge. The pit bull stayed close to me, watchful. The Doberman was the Chihuahua's wingman.
