INTRODUCTION
Learning while playing. The Jo Vaillancourt educational game collection by
Fun-Max is intended for all human beings wishing to deepen the relationship
with their parrot, while teaching the animal a multitude of educational and
distracting games. The parrot is a very intelligent animal that is rapidly
bored when lacking stimulating interactions with a companion or a social group
(the companion being you, and the social group your family). The parrot needs
to take part in interactive activities in order to feel like a full member of
the community. During my working years with the parrots and the human beings,
two questions have often been asked: How can I have fun with my parrot? And:
How can I teach him tricks? It is in answer to these questions that I
elaborated, along with Fun-Max, a line of educational and interactive toys
entirely based on my “TRAINING METHOD FOR PARROTS © JOHANNE VAILLANCOURT”.
This line
allows the parrot lover to have fun with his bird while stimulating the animal
to develop its curiosity, its intelligence, its faculty to reason, its
attention, its intellectual and physical abilities, and as a bonus, it gives
the human being the opportunity to acquire more patience. Training a parrot
must be gratifying for the bird and for you. Learning new tricks must give the
animal self confidence and increase its confidence in you. It is not a question
of control. The training sessions must always be positive and fun. The parrot
must enjoy itself and forget that it is learning. Age is not a factor in
learning new games. It is a mistake to think that a parrot might be too old to
learn. On the other hand, each parrot has its own temperament and its own
learning pace. The speed with which the bird will succeed in learning new games
depends on: ?
Interest of the
part of the bird ?
The quality of
the trainer ?
The time and
constancy allowed to training
You must not
have unrealistic expectations.
The important
is not for the parrot to learn rapidly all the games (you have a life time
ahead of you); it is to develop confidence by correctly executing the games
that it has learnt, and then, take on new challenges at its own rhythm. This is
rewarding for the parrot. The aim of the activity is for you to have quality
time with your bird, and for the animal to become aware of its importance in
your eyes. Now go ahead, have fun with your bird Please note that some parrots
will always be reluctant to training, but be reassured, it is a minority, some
rare exceptions.
