1. Reasons why the parrot does not want to return to the cage
There are two main reasons why the parrot is unwilling to return to the cage, that is, they still want to play outside, so they refuse to return to the cage; or they do not think that the bird cage is their shelter. Parrots and humans live together, and after a long time, they usually realize that the birdcage is its own exclusive space, which cannot be entered by humans. When the parrot regards the birdcage as its safe place and exclusive personal space, it will gradually get used to and like the life of the birdcage. But parrots hardly like to stuff things into the cage. Generally, as long as there is one item in the cage that makes it dissatisfied, it may no longer recognize the bird cage as a safe place and begin to reject the life of the bird cage.
It is very important to let a parrot feel that it has an exclusive private space, because parrots are inherently individualists, and even if they need company every day, they still need a space that they can control. If parrots don’t have such a dedicated personal space, they can easily get flustered. Therefore, it is recommended that breeders provide an exclusive bird cage for each parrot and provide them with an exclusive private space.
Second, how to induce parrots to return to the cage
If the parrots are not enjoying themselves outside, they are definitely not willing to return to the cage. But if the parrot is upset, lonely, hungry, or feeling disadvantaged, it usually automatically returns to the cage. Therefore, when the parrot is unwilling to return to the cage, the owner only needs to find a way to elicit the negative emotions of the parrot, so that the parrot will return to the cage obediently.
Usually when there are multiple parrots in the house, when the other parrots have returned to the cage and only one parrot is still outside, the parrot outside will feel that they are being treated specially , may also be reluctant to return to the cage because of this. But when faced with this situation, if you deliberately say in a loving tone to the parrot back in the cage, the children who are back in the cage are so good, and give them gentle caress, the parrot outside may be will feel nervous. At this time, take advantage of the situation and feed green vegetables to the parrots that have returned to the cage. And after this lesson, the parrot will gradually realize that there is no benefit to staying outside, and will return to the bird cage obediently in the future.
Reminder: If there is only one parrot in the house, don’t feed it when the parrot stays outside, so that the parrot can deeply realize that there is something to eat only when it returns to the cage, so that it is in the cage. When hungry, it will voluntarily return to the cage. In order for the parrot to return to the cage obediently, this principle must be followed.
