Very nice :thumbsup:
I taught our parrotlet to turn around pretty easily and he does it as soon as he sees I got a piece of millet or a treat for him. He also touches us with his beak when I tell him "gentle beak" which I train all our birds to do which quickly surpresses the bites with a gentle nudge with the beak.
Our other birds all have their own tricks that they've excelled in like our sun conure can play dead or lay on his back for a foot rub, he is also trained to pull himself up on my finger with his beak and I had him flipping over my finger before the vet clipped his nails too short :cry: Now his nails grew back enough for him to do it again but I have to re train him since he lost some confidance.
He will hang like a bat for me but still na bit nervous about doing a full flip again still...
