Has anyone ever tamed a bird?

Question

What was the bird? etc.

Answer 1

Yes a female pink gallah.

Answer 2

I think you mean "trained" a bird.
Yes, quite a few.
African Greys, Quakers, and I have worked with many other birds as well, training different aspects of their behavior:
Blue and Gold Macaws, A Mynah, A Hyacinth Macaw, A Green Wing Macaw, Scarlet Macaw, Budgerigars, several Amazons, Cockatiels A Palm Cockatoo, a Military Macaw, etc.
As part of my training,I even worked with a Hooded Vulture and a Red Tailed Hawk once. Now that was fun!

When you are working with a person who needs help with their bird, you generally don't really work with the bird as much as you are training the Human. Because it is the Human who has the bird that does the actual work with the bird. You are simply training the person how to work with their own bird.

Answer 4

If you mean tamed a wild bird, I have tamed a red-headed amazon that had been kept in a cage for years with no physical contact. I tried a lot of thins, none of which worked. I knew I needed to trim his beak and nails (which were causing him some discomfort). One day I just put on heavy leather gloves and took him out of the cage. He was livid! Even with the gloves his bite was painful (though he couldn't draw blood). I simply remained calm, talking soothingly, trimming the nails and gently filing the beak. He suddenly got very quiet. When I put him back in the cage, he didn't offer to bite, and I was concerned that I had put him into shock. I watched him for some time, but he was eating normally so I concluded that he was just 'thinking things over'. The next day when I opened the cage door, he just walked out and up my arm, and he was my cherished companion for years.

Answer 5

Yes a cockatiel and a green cheeked conure.
You should start with the step up command but only after the bird has had time to adjust to new surroundings
