Another thing that is quite easy to teach is turn around, although that too relies on you fading it out to make a "proper" que. So I would actually keep on with the wave, not only to teach him how to wave but also for him to learn that performing on a que no matter distance is just as rewarding, another thing is nodding yes or shaking head no. The shaking head no might be discussed how to get the bird to shake the head, I want Polarn to kinda twist back and forth with his head so I have started to get him to flip the body to the right then left and the. Back to the right and center. Kind of an exaguration of a no. The "normal" way is to teaching it by blowing on the bird making it shake it's head. And it does result in two different behaviors, so I guess how you teach it depends on what end result you want.
