Parrotlet Training

[JazzyBabe]

Do parrotlets respond to voice commands? I want to teach my parrotlet to play dead when I say "bang". Has anyone done this with their parrotlet?

I've seen them do ring toss. If I find a small enough basketball, will they do this?

Conures are supposedly good at "tucking themselves in". Will a Parrotlet?

One more thing - I know some parrotlets are good talkers, some arent. I have heard that they can be a bit shy too.

I heard someone say they trained their parrot (no the p'let) to say "I can talk. Can you fly?" after someone asks "can he talk?" What do you think my chances are of getting my parrotlet to say that much???

I am thinking small.

I should just get that eclectus i have been dreaming of. lol... in time.

Parrotlets can respond to voice commands, you have to have loads of patience. THey are the top ADD of birds, I think..

Anything's possible. You sound determined, so I think it can happen!
