He learnt his first trick

Just to say how impressed I am with Marty for learning a basic trick this evening... it's the turn around trick. He still needs a bit of practice but think he gets it.... I only have to do the motion in front of him with my finger for him to do it....but so far he has only done it sitting on the top of my laptop so not sure if he will do it on the table etc.... will keep you posted! I'm impressed as he is only a baby still :danicing:

The turn around trick is easier to teach on a perch as they have a definitive stopping point. My guys get a little confused on the table.

Congratulations with your new trick, maybe I have short bus fids.

Update.... the day after he forgot the trick so I taught him again.... I tried again today and to begin with he just squeaked every time i asked him to turn around... then he decided he wanted to do it and did it about 10 times in a row... even spinning when I was not asking.... just to get a bit more of that cashew nut lol.

Can't wait to teach him some other things. I bought a clicker a few days ago so that might help also.

Anyone know whats the next easiest trick to teach? He is only about 5 months old, I'm surprised he could do this one so young? :swaying:

Why are you suprised? Parrots are very intelligent, our guy is 6months old and knows 6 tricks

.
Just keep practicing =), you are doing great! The clicker will help as well.

It's funny, I wanted to see if he could turn round on a flat surface so I put him on the sofa arm... I asked him to turn round and he flew back to sit on top of the laptop and did it ha ha. I will teach him to turn around on a flat surface. Bless him
