First no one can see the video as it is no clickable.

cml apparently took the time to read through all or at least a large percentage of our post before he responded to your topic of " my next bird ". What he saw there formed the basis for his response to you. If you doubt what I say is fact then I urge you to take the time to go back and read them as if the posts were between myself and someone that you know nothing about, then post your assessment of them.
While we all would love to see your video and there will likely be some additional pointers for you as a result ( and that is a good thing) your motives for this are flawed. This is your overreacting again, but perhaps it will serve to help you this time, so it may just work for the best.
What we really want to see and hear is that your little feathered friend now trust you and are coming to you of their own volition, climbing or flying to and landing on you and hanging out with you, all because they want to be with you. That is step one, that is the single most important thing that you can accomplish with them, it is also the most rewarding and possibly the most difficult step to accomplish. After this step you always are at least two steps ahead because then they want to do things for you.

Thank you Wolf.

Contrary to what I think you think Foo or Faraaz, I strive to help everyone that joins these forums.

The reason that I wrote what I did is quite simple, I had replied to your previous threads in which you got a reply from me that you didnt wish for, which led you to not only forgo responding but also you creating a new thread in which the question was asked differently. I think this was to get the answer you were seeking?

Regarding your target training, I can only applaud that you've started to train with your little fellas. They very much deserve it. As Wolf often says, I will always root for the birds.
I want to remind you here that PATIENCE is going to be required. Two targeting sessions are great, but it might take 200 training sessions, or more, to get your birds tame.

Listen to Wolf's advice, trust is something that you will need to earn - not something the bird will give you no matter what.

I do hope you stay around, and if you calm down I will be glad to help you in the future.

Thanks Guys. Sorry, I was not meaning to be mean to you in any way cml. I just wanted to prove my point. I fixed the link Wolf so now you can watch it I guess.
