similar target trick invented

Yay, My parrots are much older and much more tamed(I think ;) ) well anyways I wanted to tell all of you about a new trick similar to the target trick i just discovered.Well I am calling this a trick, because my parrots does this trick....My parrot's bucket is inside my bedroom and its not a cage!(because i don't like cages :S)And when I call for them with a kissing voice, the parrots run to me by going out of the bucket and coming directly to me, with a normal walking speed(without them being frightened).And when they don't want to eat or drink more, they go back to there bucket as if they know that the bucket is there home(its so cute).BUT they are still too little to fly :(

And one more thing I would like to say. When I am done cleaning the bucket, and put back the bucket near the parrots, the parrots jumps in back!!., they can easily get out of the bucket whenever they want to because the bucket ain't big for them, but they don't :D (SO CUTE)

They did grow big, and are very furry but there still little, I will post a video on youtube of them doing this.And I would like to tell you guys that they still have not learned any other tricks
like step up, target, etc

I'm intrigued by this "no cage" philosophy I keep hearing about. So what is this bucket you're mentioning? How do they go in and out? What is its purpose compared to a wire home?

Well its a simple bucket, parrots are too big for it, so it will be no problem for them to fly away, but they don't because they know that the bucket is there home so they don't, sometimes they get out of the bucket and sit somewhere else maybe because the bucket is too small but they go back inside after a little while :D. The reason behind this is that when they were just babies, I made the same bucket there home and put them in the bucket, and now they've been staying in the bucket for so long and now they know that its there home now, and the calling training I have mentioned in this post came to them eventually, like one day I was sitting on my bed and they ran to me asking for food, I was gonna put them back in there bucket but, after eating, they walk back to the bucket, from which I discovered this

well u can say, that the bucket is something that is not closed from everywhere, In which I think the parrots feels bad or something, but the bucket is on a different level, it makes them think whether they want to go somewhere(get food, discover the area), or just rest, I know many pro trainers and good parrot takers uses cages and many do, but I am just saying that I don't like cages.Cages makes them look like prisoner :( , like in the prison you give specific time for men/women to go out and eat food or play some sports etc and then brings them back inside in the jail, They even poop inside there jails :O ,like we let our parrots out for some playing or maybe training, then put them back inside

i think cages are a lot safer than parrots running around free and gettiing squashed or hurt... that's my opinion though.
