Fiji and Nico are doing a fabulous job on the tablet today. Ran through the colors with them and they got more right than they did wrong. Learning so fast. I'm gonna have to stay on my toes for these two!
Video is in double time to condense it for size.
Trying to teach Bandit to use the tablet. He has to touch it with his tongue to activate it, his beak won't work. I put nut pieces on the icons for him and he moved them around and I guess he decided he was done and very deliberately tried to exit the game.
The boys weren't the only needy ones today. Kona Jo subjected me to all of her shenanigans!
Recall doesn't always have to be flighted. It's important for our birds to come to us when we want them to, no matter the method of locomotion.
Nico puts lots of work into his gorgeous feathers! He had a feather making him mad in the beginning. #junglebirdsinthekitchen
Beak maintenance? Is this like brushing teeth? Fiji loves to take these quick links off toys and play with them like this but if I dont watch out, he will tighten the nut down onto his beak and we've had to cut them off with bolt cutters in the past. When I heard the toy hit the ground I went out there. Drop training works! High value reinforcer (4 pistachios!) in exchange for this high value item.
Theres a certain level of trust with the beak. She loves kisses and apparently hates my glasses. #quarantinewithkona
Kona has been saying Alexa for days now and finally said it clear enough to actually ACTIVATE the dang Alexa! Hopefully Alexa doesnt know what an applestachio is. #volumeup
Height dominance is a myth! If a parrot wants to step up, he will. If the behavior is reinforced, he will continue to step up when you ask. I can't reach them on the majority of their net but that's ok! Check out that dismount!
