Training your pet bird to wave hello is a great way to bond with your bird and offer him/her some extra mental stimulation. On top of that, having a bird that can do tricks is fun! Try your hand at teaching your bird this easy wave and see for yourself how fun it is to train your parrot.
This trick is for those bird owners who have already taught their birds the "Step Up Command." Birds that can already reliably step up are sure to pick up waving quickly and easily.


Prepare for Your Training Session
Choose proper training spot. It's important to choose an appropriate place for your training session to get the maximum results from the work you do with your bird. For training, go to a quiet room away from the bird's cage—a neutral area. Choosing a place that the bird is less familiar with will make him more cooperative during training.
Have a perch for your bird to sit on. To teach this trick properly, your bird must have a proper place to perch. Ideally, this would be a t-perch or playstand that the bird is comfortable with.
Be ready with delicious treats. Have a handful of your bird's favorite treats ready to reward your pet for a job well done. Try to make sure that any treats you use for training are small, soft, and extremely delicious. Using smaller treats means that your bird won't get filled up too quickly, and using a soft treat (such as fruit or veggies) will mean that the bird can consume it quickly, making it easier for you to move on in your training session.
Remember to keep it short and sweet. Training should be a fun and positive experience for your bird. It should never feel like work! Keep your training sessions short and game-like so that your pet doesn't lose interest. Always remember to end your training sessions on a positive note -- your bird will then look forward to training again in the future.
