Teaching your little feathered friend to do cockatiel tricks is 1 of the most rewarding things you could do. Not only is it hilarious for you to watch, it also build a very strong bond between you and your parrot.
Most parrots are very shy when they are young, or when they are unfamiliar with you. So it may take a while for him to warm to you. If this is the case you must try to be a little patient with him.
You will need to spend quality time talking to him, and rewarding him with his favorite food. Taking such action will start the trust between both of you.
Building a strong bond with your parrot allows him to build a trust with you, when you get his trust it will be a lot easier to teach him tricks. Anyone can teach a dog to sit, stay and come on command, but how many people do you know have a parrot that waves, rolls over and comes when you call him?
