I AM SO EXCITED because Jimmy has finally learned this same trick! It took so long and there were days where I felt like giving up entirely but we both just kept at it and now he can do "fetch" just like Bubba. I will try to get a video of it and post it here soon. 
Bubba learned this trick in 5 days but it took Jimmy over 6 weeks using the EXACT same method so I just want to say it can take anywhere from hundreds to even THOUSANDS of repetitions of "drop it on the floor = no treat, drop it in the box = treat" before the bird will catch on so if your bird doesn't pick it up right away, don't be discouraged!
