taming a parrot
General Purpose: I want to share some information with people how to tame a parrot to make a good friend
Specific Purpose: By the end of my speech you are going to be informed with some important steps how to teach a parrot to be tamed.
Central Idea/Thesis: I am going to teach you how to get the bird out of cage and tame to enjoy the abilities of the smartest bird in the world.
Introduction: You may be a first time parrot owner that just got home with a new bird wondering why it did not come with an instruction manual. Or perhaps you have had some parrots for a long time but regret the inability to interact with them and wish to learn how to approach them. Maybe you found a lost parrot and need information about how to handle it so that you could foster it. Alternatively you got a rescued or rehomed parrot that is anything but friendly. After few steps you won’t need to worry anymore. We will improve your relationship with a highly intelligent, beautiful, and complex feathered companion. This guide is meant to teach you everything you need to know to begin handling a parrot no matter what the history or circumstances. It does not matter how long you have had it, how old it is, what species the bird is, where you got it from, or what its history is. Certainly these things can affect how long it will take or how difficult it will be. But I guarantee you that if properly and patiently applied, these methods will work. These techniques will work just as well for a Parakeet, Conure, Amazon, Cockatoo, African Grey, or Macaw.
Body:
I. To enjoy the abilities of your parrot and to tame them there are some steps to follow.
A. To begin with you should get the parrot into the cage for the first time.
1. If you just acquired a new parrot, whether it is from a breeder, store, or rehomed, you will need to transfer it from the transportation enclosure to its new cage. The parrot may be in a travel carrier, crate, or cardboard box.

    The story revolves around a compulsively jealous husband, the unnamed first-person narrator of the story. The story opens abruptly, with the narrator sitting on a perch in his cage in a pet store in Houston, having been reincarnated somehow as a yellow-nape Amazon parrot. One day, his former wife, accompanied by what he assumes must be her current lover, enters the store and is drawn to him. She buys him and takes him back to their former home, where she keeps him in a cage in the den. Despite his physical and, to a degree psychological, transformation, he is still jealous of his former wife's latest lover. He is limited, however, to taking out his resentment on the bird toys in his cage.…

What the researchers hypothesized was the parrots shared a common song system with song birds, but later on evolved a new song system that surpassed the old one and improved vocal learning ability. What this means is this study was found to be similar to how human brains developed new languages from their…

    In Robert Olen Butler's, "Jealous Husband Returns in Form of Parrot", the narrator finds himself unable to trust or communicate with his wife because of his own vulnerability and fears of losing her. Tragically it was his fear that killed him in the end; while trying to spy on his wife and the new guy from the shipping department in his bedroom, the narrator falls from a tree dying instantly and ironically is reincarnated as a handsome Yellow-nape Amazon Parrot. Although parrots can mimic sounds or words they hear, it seems there is only more of a communication gap between the two as fate reunited them together now as a widow and a pet bird. By the end of this story the differences in the narrator as a bird and as a man are self evident by the loss of his egotism and jealousy even if it means death to make his wife happy.…

    Clipping a bird's wings is something almost everyday bird’s goes through when sold to someone. Once a bird's wings are clipped the bird can still fly but not long distance or stay in the air for long. A bird with clipped wings will not be able to escape a dangerous situation, any form of defense is taken away, and they will lose balance. The main reason people clip a birds wings is so it doesn’t fly away but that you can train a bird to stay on your property or watch over the bird while outside. We also need to remember that flight is a natural form of existence for these animals. Clipping their wings would be like cutting off part of someone's leg and just acting likes it’s okay. In Europe clipping a bird's wings is illegal even if the bird is a house pet. It's seen as a form of animal cruelty and they also believe it makes the bird depressed and aggressive. This problem can be solved though! We can solve this problem by informing more and more people around…

    A parrot is a popular choice among pet owners, and just like dogs and cats, there are many breeds, or “species” of different parrots; each having their own size, character, diet and housing requirements. A popular choice is the Congo African Grey. With their gorgeous silver and grey feathers, bold red tail, their intelligence doubled with their talking ability and inquisitive personality, it’s hard not to want one of these feathery friends in our life. Too often though, greys are bought with no preplanning on how to care for them, and what is needed to keep them happy and healthy. Greys have their own characteristics different from many other species, as well as certain cage, food, toy and vet requirements. Greys are often sought after for their calm demeanor, ability to talk exceptionally well, and charming personalities. African Greys have an average life span of 60 years so you will indeed, have a friend for life. They are intuitive, observant one person parrots with a low to moderate noise level and an astonishing ability for talking. As with all pets, they also have some not so fun stuff that goes along with being owned by a Grey. They are very messy; bird poop, food and shredded up toys will be an everyday clean up chore. Your furniture, walls, trim will at some point, will meet your feathered baby. They love to chew and will chew on what they shouldn’t if you don’t provide what they need. Following some basic care requirements for these birds will pave the way to a happy and healthy grey as a pet.…
