Trained chicken doing an obstacle course

A trained chicken doing an obstacle course, while performing a series of behaviours. This demonstrates the operant conditioning methods developed by Bob Bailey. Marie Fogelquist (House of Learning) is giving courses in Sweden on these methods. See http://www.house-of-learning.se for more information. The trainer for this particular chicken was Grace Beathe Mathisen (see http://www.dogopeden.no ).

[bitjungle]

The film was made from shots of two separate (but both successful) runs. I do not think I have the unedited material anymore.

Birds are very smart. From Parrots to Eagles to Chickens...I would be honored to be called a birdbrain.

Chickens are decent people.

I hope that someday all chickens are intelligent enough to turn on the fryer and jump into it. A dream will come true!
