Training a lovebird takes patience and a lot of love, but it can be done. This article talks about 3 steps to taming a lovebird and the very first thing you need to do before any other tricks can be taught to your bird. Start small and work your way towards teaching your lovebird to trust your hands and eventually step-up.
1. Clip Wings: Lovebirds can be difficult to train, so the first step is to clip their wings; this will make training easier and be safer for your bird as well. It might be best to have your bird's wings clipped by your veterinarian so that you don't shoot yourself in the foot before your taming sessions have even begun; you don't want your bird to view you as the villain.
2. Train in Small Room: By moving your bird into a small room, like a bathroom, your bird will feel more at ease. Be sure to close toilet lids and cover mirrors for safety and make sure that there are no places for your bird to hide should she escape. Remove your bird from her cage with a towel, especially if there are any issues with biting. The towel will make things a lot easier for you and it is recommended to use this same method once you are in the room when and if your bird escapes from you.
3. Teach Step-Up First: You will want to get a T-Stand for these training sessions and place your bird on the stand for your birds first lessons, how to step-up. Once your bird is standing on the perch, offer her your hand and try to push up on her belly and say "step-up". Most likely she will try to fly away at first, but after a few times, once she realizes that you have to save her from the floor anyway because she can't fly, she will start to stay put on the perch. Just keep working at this one thing until she has finally mastered it; if you have a particularly stubborn or aggressive bird, you will need to slowly establish trust with your bird first to eliminate any biting issues.
This article talked about training a lovebird and 3 steps to taming a lovebird that you can start with. First you will want to clip their wings, that way that can't escape during your training sessions.
