One of the best pats of training is how much of it you do not need to do once you have actually trained the first one or two. This appears to work as well in my birds as it does with all of my other animals. They understand each other much better than we do and will very often pick up on any training that we have done from the older or previously trained animal with us just having to fine tune it. I know that it is the lazy persons way of training as it takes so much less effort, but it seems to work just as well and much faster than what we do with less stress for the newer animal so I always allow my older animals to assist me in the training of the newer or younger animal. It is often just a matter of playing with the trained animal while the other one is watching until it starts trying to join in on all the fun that the first one is having and because they want some of the attention that the other is getting. In some cases the training of the newer one also happens without us ever seeing any of it being done.
