How to stop my cocktoo to stop chewing?

Posted at: 2014-11-15 
Hi my friend owns a green wing macaw and im soon buying a moluccan cockatoo or umbrella cockatoo. I read a lot of big birds and see how they should learn and how to handle them.

When he starts to bite your walls, tell him 'NO' And return him to his cage for aslong as you want or atleast 5-15 minutes for the first try. Then let him out again and if he returns to go pick at the wall, then tell him 'NO' again and return him back to his cage for 20-40 minutes. Increase his punish time with 10 minutes everytime he goes to pick at the wall.

DONT NOT TRY GIVING HIM HOT SAUCE BECAUSE THAT CAN INJURE HIS STOMACH AND THEN YOU'LL HAVE TO PAY THE VET TO FIX HIM.

Soon after when you notice hes learned, Praise him. Give him treats and gentle, soft pats on his back.

Everytime he does something bad just return him to his cage. Praise him when he does something good. Talk to him gently.

He can be stressed out so thats why hes picking at your wall. Make sure you take him out for atleast 4 hours daily!

Most parrots love to chew, and like tiny children you must teach them to listen. Large parrots can be a challenge to control, put him back in his cage as a time out.

That's what parrots do.You should watch him very closely.Every time you see him do something he is not supposed to just place him in his cage.

I just got a Moluccan cocktoo he has lots of toys in his cage.I let him out and he started to chew on my walls I made a loud sound so he would quit but he just kept chewing and chewing and chewing my friend sed try putting hot sauce on your wall but he likes the taste of hot sauce and I don't know what to do HELP!!
