Clicker Training "Quoits"


I'll write today how I taught Toui "Quoits" with Clicker.I'm asked Questions about it.I'll explain it with pleasure.


Firstly,your Cockatiel must understand the Causal Relationship between Clicker and Rewards.The Rewards should be favorite Foods of your Cockatiel.When You give Rewards to your Cockatiel after a Click, she understands the Causal Relationship.This ist the Basic Training for all another Clicker Trainings.You schould teach it well untill she understands it.In the Case that your Cockatiel does recognize it not clearly,you may go into a concrete Training with her.A Click will meen "Good" for her.

It's the second Stage that she understands Causal Relationship between Clicker and Ring.You schould put a Ring and Pole in a Place and schould bring her there.When she touches the Ring,you schould give a Click and then Rewards.You schould train her,untill she understand it.When she lift the Ring up,you schould do samely.

It's the last Stage that she understands Causal Relationship between Clicker and Quoits.You schould keep the Ring over the Pole with your fingers.When your Cockatiel touches it,you should take your fingers off the Ring.And then you should give the Rewards aufter a Click.When you teach it enough,you may put the Ring by the Pole again.Your Cockatiel must begin Quoits.My Cockatiel realy enjoys it.

If you have still any Questions about this Training,I will answer it with pleasur.

That's amazing! I didn't know about clicker training for cockatiels until I saw your video. My cockatiel seems hopeless at learning tricks...but now I have some hope!

Is there a special clicker for birds to buy? Is it different than a dog clicker?

For Kim

Thank you.It's a common clicker for animals.You should take a smaller one.If your clicker is too large,it must spurise your birds.
