Hi. I noticed dave doesn't use a clicker to train the parakeets in his dvd. do you think training would be quicker or more effective adding a clicker to the process described?

Hey there. Yes, Clicker training is a very fast way to train parakeets! I actually just released a DVD on clicker training parakeets for magic. It's being produced right now, and I expect it to hit the market soon. I hope that doesn't come across as a plug. In all seriousness most of the clicker training methods work with parakeets. My dvd only shows the best techniques for using them in magic. If you go to http://www.youtube.com/birdtricks you will see a bunch of free videos that we have produced, that might help point you in the right direction without having to make a purchase.
Sorry if this sounds pitchy, that's certainly not my intention! Dave

Thanks, Dave, that helps!
By the way, any chance to see you in Italy any time soon? |

I've found clicker training to be very effective, as well. While I don't own Dave's DVDs, I have seen the YouTube vids and a couple clips from the Bird Tricks site, and they look very well-produced and informative.

Does that mean there will always be a CLICK heard by the audience to get the parakeet to do his tricks?

You only need to use the clicker during training. Once the bird knows the behavior, you don't need to use the clicker any more... so that way, the audience will not hear the clicker.
