Proximity? Huh?
I can stand 50 feet away from her, say "shake, nod, turn around, wave, wings, hello, kili" and she will shake her head, nod head, turn around 360, wave her foot, show her wings, say hello, and then fly to me across the room. There is no proximity.
Fact is she does "tricks" more reliably than recalls. She recalls more reliably to receive treat as payment for trick than merely for the sake of recall. Is this really that she think of recall after trick as mobility for receiving treat? Shouldn't recall be essentially the same thing then? "You have to come to me if you want this treat cause I'm sure as heck not bringing it to you!"
