Training moving along well

Postby dohcsvt » Mon Sep 05, 2011 9:18 pm

I have two conures a Sun :sun: Named Stanley and a green Cheek :gcc: named Ollie. We have been training for about a week now.
Ollie :gcc: is doing great. Has learned target and today I started using target as a base to teach him to turn around. He caught on quickly and will now now follow my finger (not the target stick) and turn around on command...what a smart guy!

Stanley :sun: is my special ed kid, but he is coming along. Today he finally stayed on the training perch for the entire 10 minutes and ate his saflower seeds while associating them with the clicker. I finally tried to get him to target and he did it a few times, I think he might be catching on, we will see tomorrow. Hopefully good news.
Stanley the Sun Conure :sun:
Ollie the Green Cheek Conure :gcc:
Stan and Ollie the great comedy duo, always making me chuckle!!
