The best tickles are given, not stolen π₯°

When #princessprickles wants her tickles doing, she let's me bury my fingers right in. Sometimes, your fingers go silky β€οΈ

They've sold me out π
^
Hope my housemate doesn't mind being my muse π Never really get the argument they're one person birds, for sure, they tend to prefer some over others. But my 2 would sell me out in a second #MrPickles is all over my housemate. As for #PrincessPrickles she'd ignore a pistachio and climb through people to get to one of my best mates π

If you've followed us for a while, you're probably wondering why you don't see them outside much π
^
I'm very pro choice if we empower them, then with choice, we remove the need to communicate by biting. As this video they really aren't keen on the harnesses. I'm presently trying to work out is it the harnesses or the outside they don't want π

You do there, I'll do here π

Feathers always tell a lot, flat feathers mean things aren't settled π
I am nothing more than a perch π

Eventually, I'll have to move π
Sucker punched by #PrincessPrickles π

She knows how to get me π
Been a little while new camera, so maybe a few more. Thought we'd do a few on training. A few simple one trained makes our lives so much easier. I see so many bad step up. Here I ask for step up, I don't force her to step up by pushing into her, she willingly offers her foot. This is a bird offering the behaviour we even have a pause where I ask for the other foot
You go first no you go first π€£
^
#PrincessPrickles tends to not want to do her think she's pulled away when he's been to firm so gets conflicted messages π

Just a blur π
^
Our #PrincessPrickles doing a blind station cue. I'm always impressed how she'll do this for me. She starts at the top of the stairs with a verbal cue she will land on a labeled station π

Your not a wild bird π

Barely any sunflower seeds in the mix doesn't stop him fishing them out though. Problem with having parrots at liberty when home π

Sometimes we can't change behavior instead we work with what they give us. We have reinforced this it started as a distraction from chewing and digging next to me on the sofa π€¨
^
These are just coffee stirrers I'm sure this is just natural nesting behavior making the bedding as such . For his sister we use cardboard boxes and paper in corners. In changing behavior we aim to replace not to stop when we think like this we see things differently we can't suppress natural but we can redirect π

Help she identifies as a chicken π

I've been trying for years to get this I hate shaping verbal behavior find it so hard π

They're angels π really π
^
They've had a couple of hard days recently. The #chaostwins have a lot of freedom generally the odd work day means a day in the cage. Crating is a fantastic behavior to train π
