Stitch doing a few tricks (wings trick update)!

Postby cml » Tue Dec 13, 2011 3:40 pm

I wanted to update you on Stitch's progress with trick training, and especially the wings trick, which we have been working on lately:
http://theparrotforum.com/viewtopic.php?f=17&t=6900

After about 5 weeks, I think he's learnt the trick very well and he opens the wings fully, the only thing we are working on now is to keep the wings up indefinatly, right now he holds them up until I click (as long as I dont wait too long ^^), but I want to increase the duration further!
Atm, he knows and has learned in this order: target, shake, turn around, wave, fetch and wings.

Anyway, I hope you enjoy the video, I am very proud of our little guy!

Again sorry for the non-audio, the mic on the device I record with is terrible, so its better with no sound =)!
