Re: What's the Easiest Trick

Not counting target, which isn't really a trick, I'd say the easiest trick to teach my cockatiel was wave. He learned it in about 20 minutes, and even learned to open and close his toes when he waves! Aside from wave, the next easiest trick was turn around, but the bird needs to be already target trained. If flight recall wasn't my tiel's first trick, it would probably be one of the easiest. The first trick you teach your bird will always take the longest, because the bird needs to "learn how to learn".
