Parrots are wild animal. It takes a lot of time and patience to make the bird feel like you are their friend, but once you do it will be much easier to tame.

Once you bring the parrot home, make sure that it stays inside the cage for at least 24 hours and kept around people who love birds. If you see that the bird is skittish, give it some more time.

You must cover all your mirrors and close all your windows when you think that your parrot is set to come out of his cage. The bird will probably come out shortly, but if it fails to come out then try to tempt it with some good food or a tree branch. You should try to keep your hair in safety: covered or out of his way. You should also wear appropriate clothes that will not be snagged so fast.

Don't ever speak in a loud voice to your parrots. Do not look straight into his eyes or he will think you are a predator.

If your parrot does not want to take food from your hands, then use clippings and put them in the cage. You should praise them whenever they eat so eventually, you can feed them using your own hand.

Parrots need to fly from time to time to exercise their wings. To keep the bird calm and ensure he is not frightened, try carrying the bird around on a stand that is low utilizing two different size sticks. Two sticks are required for the parrot to go from one to the other. The parrot will be frightened by sudden movements, so when you do this make sure to move slowly and deliberately.

Domesticating a parrot can be quite trying during the first weeks. As soon as you have seen some better behavior, basic commands can now be taught. By instructing your bird in this manner, it will begin to understand that you are the boss and he will then come to you at all times in good situations and in dangerous ones so that both of you can be safe.

A very important command that you want your parrot to learn is "NO". If the parrot does something wrong then correct the bird so it will know not to do it again.

It will take time and patience to tame the bird. You will be able to teach your bird to speak certain words and possibly even sing once the bird is able to trust you.
