he already knows fetch, play dead, basketball, piggy bank, target, wave, high five, turn around, climb rope, little bit of recall he cant really fly so its only for about a foot hes clipped, and i think thats it and so i am still training him with the harness but i also want a fun trick i cant each him to that is fairly easy but still impressive and skeeter is tame but still in training :mrgreen:

so no wings tricks or anything since he bites me whenever i handle his wings much so what is a good trick? thanks :mrgreen:

You could try get down. Even though get down sounds like your telling him to get off something. But it is actually getting him to kinda dance. It is kinda like nod except he is shaking his whole body. Another one is to go shopping. It will be farely easy to teach because it is like piggy bank. You just get a little toy cart from target, Or walmart. And then ou get little toy groceries. If you can get him to push the cart then you can get him to shop. Hope this helps!

You've got a pretty good number of tricks on him already! I'm totally jealous~ But the tricks I'm most looking forward to teaching will involve having my Cas run a miniature version of a dog agility course. It will involve Tunnel, Weave Polls, See-Saw, and Jumping through a tire. Michael's 20 tricks in 20 minutes video has Kili scampering through a slinkee Tunnel. I think that would be a super awesome and fantastically cute behaviour you could put on Skeeter. Oh there are so many possibilities!

You should teach him to nod his head, or moonwalk like MJ.

Is it possible to teach a parrot to " go to sleep " (close his eyes, or even put his head under his wing) ?

"go to sleep" sounds very cute

I wonder if it is possible?

I'd say absolutely! All you need to do is make sure you capture the behaviour you want~
