I love these. You do such a good job teaching people how to be better bird owners.
I started watching my bird stretch. Every time he stretched I clicked and reward now he does big bird any time to get a treat.
Newt is adorable doing the eagle! He's so smart!
He’s a very clever boy!
Courtney, I think you are a person with the most patience. I got a little bit of a headache watching this video😂. This is a very unusual trick, never seen anything like this.
I thought Newt is so cute leaning over to touch your hand in the beginning of the video. 😃👍🥰
Agreed. The leaning over trick is so cute!
I am trying to teach my parrotlet this, I actually started capturing this behaviour on and off two years ago and managed to put the shoulder stretch on cue, but now we're stuck on the actual opening of the wings, but she is slowly catching on again and we're now in the rapid flapping stage. So don't be discouraged if it takes your bird a while to figure this out, there are species of parrots who will offer this behaviour more naturally than others, just go with their pace and stay on it and it'll work out in the end. Thank you so much for the great tutorial, confirming that I was on the right path with my capturing approach.
Well, we've nailed the picking up and foraging so we will have a go at this next, though I never feel like I'm actually training Sophie, it's more like we are learning something together and I swear she trains me a lot of the time!
Thank you for the video!😁
Toooo advanced. Wow. I love how you teach us and your birds.
Thank you so much this was an amazing behavior teaching ❤❤❤
Great video! Thank you for doing these training Tutorials..
I find a clicker easier when using capturing. It was cute seeing Toto offer it also. I'm going to try it to teach the wave.
Worth a shot! Hope it works for you!
This is adorable I love newts beautiful wings!!!
❤️ the handsomest lad!
What a great video! I want to teach this to Mia! Thank you for all the clawesomeness you share and for joining us on The Parrot Podcast!❤🎙🦜 What an informative and FUN episode!😀
This is awesome video, so informative. Thank you. You are getting on the level of BirdTricks' videos. Can you share more details about the timeline of this kind of training? Like how long each session was? How many sessions per day did you do and so on. This would be very helpful too. Thank you
Session length varied depending on how Newt was feeling. Usually 5-15 minutes. And we do two sessions per day!
I taught my one cockatiel to do “wings” where he goes upside down and spreads his wings. I was able to teach him that with shaping and capturing. I haven’t taught my female cockatiel to do it yet but I should be able to since she tends to spread her wings even more than he does.
Hi-
1. What kinds of seeds do you use for each? High, middle, low? Saw seeds without shells, but could not recognize them.
2. Do you do the same with talking? Say a word and then treat without a clicker?
3. To train behavior I say yes and reward with sunflower seeds with their shells. It works- but need different value seeds. Working with greencheecks, piones, cockatiels and a quaker, one by one. Suggestions? Thanks from Israel! 🇮🇱
Treat value is determined by the bird, not the trainer. Offer them a few bowls with different treat options and see how they respond to each one. The one they eat first/ the most of will be high value and the one they eat last/ the least will be low value. I was using walnut pieces for high value and Harrison’s hot pepper pellets for low value!
You can use verbal markers instead of a clicker for sure, clickers are just more precise and get registered in the brain faster for optimal learning but both will work!
Awesome video! How long do you recommend sessions to be? And how many times a day?
5-15mins for most birds and 1-2 sessions per day!
Would you do a video on what you would recommend to clean their cages?
I have a video called “cleaning the new bird room” that covers what I use!
@@FlockTalk thank you so very much. I have leaned so much from you.
My bird likes millet as his reward mostly, how do I go about more and less rewarding treats with this, do i have to find something he loves even more? (or less, i guess and only use millet as high level reward)
Typically you set out a few different plates with a different treat on each and watch the bird, whichever they choose to eat first/ the most of is their high value snack and whatever they eat last is their lowest value snack!
Common choices might be things like small pellets, millet, sesame, pine nuts, walnut, sunflower, safflower, flax
@@FlockTalk thank you for the reply!
How long is a session? How do we tell if they are getting tired/ done? Thank you!
5-15 minutes, if they start looking around, yawning, fluffing, leave the session, things like that would tell you the bird is getting bored and the session has gone on too long. You typically want to aim to end a session when the bird is most excited and most successful so they remember that excitement and are eager to participate in the next session rather than remember feeling bored and tired causing them to be disinterested
@@FlockTalk We really enjoy your videos! So helpful! Thank you for responding ~
