Hi All,
I bought this book off of amazon.com http://www.amazon.com/Clicker-Training- ... ning+birds a while back. It was sort of helpful. My birds quickly learned how to target to the stick, follow it around, etc. Then I started trying to teach them how to flip over. It took FOREVER (nearly a week of two times per day) to get an inconsistent flip. The main problem was positioning the stick. They were fine reaching down to get it, reaching partially around, but stopped trying and started trying to turn around to get it instead of flipping all the way around. I had slightly better luck with the turn in place trick, but it was difficult phasing the stick out.
In general, I had a lot of trouble figuring out how to conveniently position the stick to get the movement I wanted. The book wasn't helpful with that.
I'm cautious to buy other book resources for this reason. Do you know of any free training videos or other sources that might be of help?
Also, can you use clicker training to get two birds to like each other who currently don't? How would I do that?
