How do you catch a lorikeet in a tree?

Answer 1

If it's your bird and is acclimated to you, stay there. Get someone to grab some favorite foods and toys. If the parrot associzates the cage with "home", being out hte cage (conversely, if the cage is not a comforting symbol, leave it alone). Have a towel ready to make the capture. DON'T TRY AND GRAB THE BIRD SUDDENLY UNLESS YOU KNOW YOU'LL CATCH IT. If the bird flies off, keep the means of escape open, and leave attractive foods for it to feed on. While parrots do very well in the wild in most of the US, it takes a while to acclimate, and you have a good chance of recovery. If this isn't a bird who knows you, recovery chances are slim. They're hugely intelligent and not happy about being captured by strangers. FInally, you can consult your local Animal Control about Live Traps if nothing else works.

Answer 2

You could call the parrot down with a whistle, or something else that you trained the parrot to respond to and come to you. You could hold out its favorite treat, and call its name or get its attention somehow to get it to come to you. You could also use a ladder and just climb up and get it, depending on how tall your ladder is and how high up the parrot is in the tree.

Answer 3

It's wings should be clipped. Small bird, you grab it, hold it gently until it figures out that you aren't going to eat it. It should be willing to sit on your finger after a while. Just leave it at that for a while. It will figure out that you are not going to hurt it after a while. It just takes time. Larger birds, offer a finger and don't flinch when they reach for it but be ready to pull it back if they are going to bite. A flick on the beak lets them know they are not supposed to bite. You can't be afraid of them, they will sense your nervousness and not behave. Keeping their wings clipped helps keep them in line.
