Turn around with Leroy!

Postby cml » Sat May 05, 2012 3:03 pm

We've been working on turn around with Leroy for a few weeks now, but he's been reluctant to learn it. Yesterday though, I had a stroke of luck because he was really into training, and I discovered that he doesnt like turning around the same direction as Stitch, but wanted to turn the other way around.

After that it went easy to teach him, and after two days of practice we got it on cue :D .
Its his first trick!

Nice! Great work. I'm always amazed at how deliberate and considered the larger parrots are :-) :budgie:

How do you train a bird to turn around? When I try my bird would only turn half way e.g If my bird had it's back to me and I say turn around he would just turn around to face me not a full turn :( :greycockatiel:
