What is your current or biggest goal?

What is your current or biggest goal with your parrot? This does not necessarily have to be a specific trick to teach but can be. Are you trying to eliminate biting, potty train, recall fly, trick train, etc?

I would LOVE to train my birds to recall flight... But my macaws are clipped most of the time, and my grey is too lazy to fly to me. Haha!

So my more realistic goal is to teach Oscar to rollerskate. Right now he's at th point where he can step up onto the skates, but he doesn't know how to move yet.

You've tried not feeding him for 3 hours before you tried training tricks?
