By using operant conditioning with an emphasis on positive reinforcement, your parrot can be trained to cooperate in their own medical care in many ways. This conditioning can reduce stress for animals, caretakers, and veterinarians as well as reduce the potential for animal injuries. Training with positive reinforcement can allow birds to learn to voluntarily participate in husbandry and medical behaviours and potentially avoid the stress associated with capture and restraint. #eddiesflightclub
