Parrot mid-trick during a force-free training session

If this is your week

Your bird isn't bad. It's bored out of its mind.

Parrots in the wild solve problems all day. In your living room, there is nothing to solve. So they invent their own jobs. Usually loud ones.

  • Your bird screams or paces and you can't figure out why.
  • It chews the trim, the remote, the curtains, anything left within reach.
  • Every YouTube clip skips the steps you actually need.
  • You tried treats and a clicker and nothing clicked.
  • You feel like you and your bird have run out of things to do together.
  • Your bird is young and you want to start right, before the boredom turns into problems.
Before and after, a sad parrot in a bare cage versus an engaged parrot stepping up to a hand

The screaming, the chewing, the pacing, they're almost never about what they look like. They're a bird with a high-powered brain and nothing to do with it. The fastest way to fix that is to give the brain a job.

The one thing this whole page is about

Tricks aren't a party trick. They're the cheapest behavior fix you'll ever buy.

A trick session is just structured problem-solving with a happy ending. Five minutes of that puts more mental miles on your bird than an hour of staring at the same toys.

Believe that one thing and the order changes. Instead of fighting the symptom, you give the brain a job and most of the symptoms quietly walk off on their own.

The Beak School method

Why Beak School teaches a trick to a biter before we teach anything else.

When our trainers get called in for a "behavior problem" bird, biting, screaming, plucking, the first move is almost always the same. Teach it a small, silly trick. Target a stick. Turn around. Wave a foot.

It looks like a waste of time. It is not. It is the fastest way to teach the bird that working with a human is fun, predictable, and pays. Once that click happens, the "real" behavior work gets ten times easier, because the bird and the owner are finally on the same team.

That is why this course exists. Not so your bird can do tricks at a party. So your bird has a job, and you have a way to bond that doesn't depend on it sitting quietly on your shoulder.

Beak School is led by a team of certified parrot behavior pros with 25+ years of hands-on experience across zoo, sanctuary, breeder, rescue, and family homes. Every course on this site is built and reviewed by CPBC and CPBT-KA certified trainers. IAATE Lifetime Achievement Award, 2020.

Why this works when the videos didn't

Most clips teach the cue. They skip the foundation.

Every viral trick video starts at step seven. The bird already targets, already takes treats from a hand, already trusts the human. That's why your bird stares at you blankly when you copy the video, and you think your bird "isn't smart enough."

This course starts at step one. Targeting, marker timing, and how to read engagement. Then tricks stack on top. The same method used with macaws in professional shows, scaled down to a ten-minute session at your kitchen counter.

"But my bird isn't trick-trainable"

Every species. Every age. Every personality.

Tiny budgies. Giant macaws. Cranky older rescues. The method is the same. Simone has worked with the full range, and she'll tell you the problem was never the bird.

"This is a really interesting, entertaining course! The many videos are very helpful. From small budgies to large macaws, just great. Cassie has so much experience and is so enthusiastic about what she does."

Simone Gandhi. Parrot owner.

Your bird is trainable. It just hasn't been shown how, in the order that lets it succeed.

"I get overwhelmed by training content"

You don't need a curriculum. You need one small win.

Robin almost didn't buy. Every other program she'd tried left her with notebooks full of theory and a bird that still didn't do anything.

"Cassie clearly knows her craft, and you can tell that she loves it too. The program is laid out to support you with bite-sized information so you do not get overwhelmed. I highly recommend the program."

Robin Berning, USA. Parrot owner.

You don't need an hour a day. You need one trick taught in five minutes, so your bird, and you, get the win that makes you both want to come back tomorrow.

The exact path

Five minutes a day. One trick at a time.

Inside the first week your bird is targeting on cue. Inside a month you've got three or four tricks and a bird that lights up the second you grab the treat pouch.

1

The targeting foundation

The one skill every other trick is built on. Most birds get it in a single session.

2

Marker timing for owners

Clicker or word, taught so you actually get the timing right, not just told to 'click and treat'.

3

Your first three tricks

Turn, Wave, and Step-on-Scale, in order. Each one stacks on the last.

4

Stationing and recall

Two practical 'tricks' that double as real-life skills. Your bird stays put, comes when called.

5

Retrieve and bigger tricks

The fun ones. Drop a coin in a piggy bank, ring a bell, fetch a ring.

6

Trick sessions that fix behavior

How to use five-minute sessions to drain energy and stop the screaming, chewing, and pacing.

"This is my best investment in caring for my sweet boy! Cassie clearly knows her craft, and you can tell that she loves it, too. Her knowledge and calm demeanor in the videos makes you feel confident in your abilities to have patience and understanding of your bird and what they need to establish a healthy bond. The program is laid out to support you with bite-sized information/exercise so you do not get overwhelmed and can take some time to process the information before moving on to the next step. This is important because I can sometimes forget critical steps if I try to learn them all at once. I highly recommend the program. If you get it, you will not regret it, but you might regret it if you do not!"

"This is wonderful, Beak School. Thank you. There's a lot of good information here! I would encourage anyone about to open their home to Budgies or any other species of bird to go through this to know everything you can about your new "baby" prior to them arriving. It will help you more than anything else you can do to be ready for them to come home."

"I'm very impressed with Bite Buster BootCamp. In my opinion, a must in any parrot owner's library, whether your bird bites or not. Even If you don't have a biting bird or your bird is too young to bite, the course offers a lot of information on how to prevent biting from becoming a problem. And of course when it comes to parrots that bite, this course is an excellent source of information on how to resolve this common problem. The material is very comprehensive and goes into the great detail on each and every topic. It starts with important concepts related to parrots' behavior and continues on with valuable information on diet, body language and lastly training your bird to stop biting. Cassie is great as a presenter and she includes a lot of examples and video material of what parrots do and what, as parrot owners, we should do/not do. Cassie is very knowledgeable and experienced in all topics parrots related and great with sharing her vast knowledge and expertise. She is able to explain even the most complex concepts in plain English so that everyone can understand. I was also pleasantly surprised with a number of bonuses that come with this course (adoption, bonding with other family members & keep your bird active) and exclusive bonuses (3 live training sessions with Cassie!). I highly recommend Bite Buster BootCamp to all parrot owners. A worthy investment that is certain to improve the relationship that you have with your bird."

Risk nothing

Try every lesson for 14 days.

Watch the whole course. Run the plan with your bird. If you don't see real change, email us inside 14 days and we refund every penny. No hoops, no forms. We'd rather you leave a friend than stay a frustrated customer.

Is this right for you?

This is for you if:

  • You want a more confident, mentally tired, less destructive bird.
  • You want to bond through play instead of pressure.
  • You've got a young bird and want to start on the right foot.
  • You've got an older bird stuck in a rut and want to wake them up.

This is not for you if:

  • You think tricks are silly and your bird should just sit quietly.
  • You're looking for a way to dominate or punish behavior. Not what we teach, and it doesn't work.

Why is it only $37?

No catch. It's new-student pricing, kept low on purpose. Most owners who start with tricks come back to us later for biting, bonding, and screaming help. We'd rather win you now, cheaply, by giving your bird a job tonight.

And understand the cost of waiting. Every week a bored bird goes without a mental job, the screaming, plucking, and chewing get louder. Tricks are the cheapest, fastest fix you can add.

One payment. One night.

One payment. A bird that lights up when you walk in.

You can keep googling tricks and giving up after one frustrated session, or you can spend $37 once and teach your first trick tonight.

A month from now your bird has a few real skills, your evenings have a thing you do together, and a lot of the behavior problems quietly got smaller.

Questions, answered

What if my bird won't take treats from my hand?
Covered. The first lessons handle birds that won't take from a hand yet, and walk you through getting there safely.
Does this work for budgies and cockatiels?
Yes. The method works on every parrot species, big or small. The size of the bird changes the size of the reward, not the method.
How long until my bird does a trick?
Most owners get a clean target behavior in the first or second session, often in a single evening.
What if it doesn't work for me?
You've got 14 days to try every lesson. If you don't see change, email us and we refund every penny. No hoops, no forms.
How do I watch it?
It streams on your phone, laptop, or TV. You get access the moment you check out.
