hey there im starting to clicker train my umbrella cockatoo! I so far im working on the CLICK + TREAT! My next step is target! after target where i go from there? what i use the target for?

[ShemeshandMom]

@vidgirl4444 Hey, Vidgirl, thanks for stopping by, and sorry I took SO long to reply. I'm not a real clicker training expert, but I think once they target the stick you can move it to wherever you want them to be. I did that, then moved on to an object she can lift, like a paper clip. There are some good books, and forum about clicker training.  If you Google Birdclick, I think that's the name of one. I've been neglecting Shemesh's training lately, I'm afraid.

@ShemeshandMom hi there thanks so much. i have done target with my birds. :) but i also have been busy traning my new pup that i have not had much time traning my birds. But i will this week :)

Very impressive! Color discrimination is tough. Nice job!

[ShemeshandMom]

Thank you. Her color perception seems good, but I'm not so sure she makes the connection between the color and its name.

[3ponymous]

AFAIK, all birds have great color *perception*; by discrimination, I mean her ability to choose a color based on cues.

But if I may make an unsolicited observation. When you're asking for a specific color, you talk a lot, which may be interefering with her ability to learn/pick up on the cue.

Rather than say "pink!"... you say "give me the pink paper clip, can I have the pink one please, nope that's green, try again, give me a pink one"...which might just sound like a lot of noise to her.

[3ponymous]

Until she's got the cue down pat, it's really best to keep the cues very simple and short, or you risk confusing the animal with way too much input.

[ShemeshandMom]

Very good points, 3ponymous! Thanks a lot for the constructive comments. We've slacked off of training, but when I return to it I will try gabbing less (which is mainly to entertain myself, I admit!)
