Is training a parrot to do tricks hard? I have five parrots who get more intelligent every day. Two are my parrots are rescues, the lady who had them did not care about them whatsoever, after 3 months after I got and tamed them I started clicker training. I 'm sure most people have no idea what clicker training is. It 's a small box that "clicks" that lets the parrot know it 's getting a treat for good behavior.

Jackson also lays on his back, we are working on "playing dead" now, it is a real challenge. They do talk, they sadly Xander is the only one that can talk but sadly he has a small vocabulary but can say words like
