parrot and budgie training

[cfnbryn]

Hi a few years ago I signed up to a birdtricks newsletter, and over the years have recieved a hundreds of e-mails from them about their work etc. but I wasnt that bothered as it was all for smaller birds. BUT.....now they are releasing a video for training budgies and other small birds (7 days it should take) and I am quite intrigued as they sold out last year when they put the video on sale but now they have updated it etc, it costs 45.55 US dollars all together which is equal to about 26 UK pounds. Should I or should I not but the set of videos?

That's quite a little sample video on the second link!

I am skeptical that training like that could be done in 7 days like the site claims, which then makes me skeptical of the whole thing; not that the training methods wouldn't work.... Hmmmm, this is a tough call. I tend to think that if you are willing to write off the money for the video, then go for it. Interesting indeed.....:rolleyes:

tat is why im asking whether I should or should not, as I have seen some other video clips of them training a cockatoo and this Cockatoo was biting and evil and in about twenty minutes it was fine to handle etc. but then again 7 days is a short amount of time in terms of training

cant really see how thats possible in 7 days. Budgies get easily bored of doing the same thing over and over. For me to teach Alfie how to fly to my finger from anywhere took over a week.

There probably trying to con you.
