How to teach a parrot to dance

Parrots are very smart animals. They have the amazing ability to mimic human speech, and can also copy actions. This is how to use their mimicry skills to teach them how to dance.

Step 1 Before you start

1. The parrot or parrots you wish to teach must be comfortable with you. Parrots tend to attach themselves to one person and if you aren't that person then there isn't much point trying.

2. Parrots have short attention spans. This means that they will benefit more from two 10 minute sessions than one 20 minute session. If your bird doesn't want to play, it wont even attempt to learn.

3. Be prepared to look like a complete idiot. In order for your bird to learn, you must do the actions. This means a lot of bad dance moves and some odd stares if you're not alone or your curtains are open!

Combine the Dip move with the Head Bob move! It will make him move his head around in a circle while keeping his head parallel to the ground, and it looks really neat (and hilarious)!
