Nice job, Chris. Did you pick him up by his tail? Leo doesn't seem to mind this either... Does anyone ever give you trouble for it?

[chrisbiro1]

Yes I pulled her out of the vase with her tail. It did not seem to bother. No trouble over this yet. Chris

This can be taught at any age. Jack was over 2 years old when I taught her. James was about 5 years when I taught her. Chris

Snicket is doing great. The dollar in the jar temptation happens to all of them in the beginning. It does not take long for them to get it figured out. At this fair we trained two sun conures to do the dollar bill trick. Pronto did not get quite as far as Snicket did but close. It is a fun trick for multiple reasons (grin). Chris

Great show. Id like to see it in person.

That's because it isn't smart enough to do that, you just have sticky fingers.

I ABSOLUTELY LOVE SUN CONURES! :DDD I have two of my own :) They're adorable, and have such a distinct and unique personality. I love mine to death.

Chris, Do you you think your parrots enjoy interacting with the audience? It certainly seems that way to me! Do you consider that a type of reinforcement of positive behavior?
