In this report we will discuss how to train a lovebird and 3 tricks you can teach your lovebird. Of course there are various tricks that you can teach them, but these are a few of the initial tricks you may wish to begin with. Before beginning lovebird training you will want to be comfortable dealing with your bird, if they have any behavioral issues, like biting or fear, you will want to tackle these problems before trying to teach them the tricks below.

1. Wave: A lovebird can be trained many tricks, but if you are just getting started you should start with something simple like the wave. To train them to perform the wave, simply ask them to wave and help them keep their foot up. Reward their actions and keep doing this until they have raised it on their own. You can reward them with compliments and/or treats, just bear in mind to be consistent with the rewards and pretty soon all you will have to do is say the word wave and they will perform it.

2. Spin: Once you have successfully taught them to wave, you can advance to doing a spin. To make them to spin, use something as a focus, like a pencil, and ask your bird to go after the pencil around in a circle. As they turn, say the word spin and reward them after they have gone all the way around. Do this numerous times until your bird starts to catch on and will perform the spin by itself.

3. Flip: A flip may or may not be achievable in the beginning; some birds do them on the branch and others can do it while laying in your hand. If you use the hand technique, you will first have to get them lying at ease on their back in the palm of your hand. To do this, begin small and tilt your bird in different degrees with lots of affection following each tilt. When they are comfortable on their back, support them flip over by pushing gently on their tail. Say the word as they go over and reward with a treat each time. With a lot of practice, your bird will start doing this action on their own when you say the word flip.
