Parrot Trick Training - Recall Flying Sessions 2-3

BACKGROUND
The birds in this video have only been flying for a few months now. Zorro (green and black Nanday Conure) and Bobo (Congo African Grey) had been clipped previously, so they both learned to fly as young adults. Grasshopper (green and orange Jenday Conure) is the baby, and was never clipped.

LOGISTICS
Rewards were given every time for the birds' good performances because they were in a real training session. Since the trainer was juggling birds, multiple instructions, and camera angles, the treats were usually administered on a counter off to the side.

wow those parrots of yours are really smart!!!!!

[flychomperfly]

actually, most birds can be taught these skills. they are really intelligent creatures, but it takes time.

for instance, think of all the time we have to spend in school learning.  or better still... all the time our parents spend trying to get us to do what they say (cough, cough).

our parents learned that they can bribe us with an ice cream cone -- just like we can bribe the bird with treats.

the birds understand -- it's getting them to do it when we ask them to is the trick. LOL

hell yeah! so why ma parrot acting like a hooligan?

this question is for me.. the "trainer"..

they are very smart!

[flychomperfly]

HAHAHAA! yup...act like hooligans because they are so smart -- they know they can get away with it. ;) Training sessions for seed treats makes them realize if they want the treats, they have to behave (at least SOME of the time). lol You sound like you know your bird pretty well, and have spoiled him/her nicely. :p

what is the first step to recall training?

[noahloveshisboa0913]

I just love how Zorro lazily starts off flying and lands but when he is flying, he's so graceful!

[LOPONUMER]

Awful, just awful.
