Hello from Nanaimo BC Canada!

Hello everyone!

I own a pied cockatiel named Beaker, He is fully flighted and I have had him for 2 years now.
He is very tame and knows a few basic tricks: targeting a stick, turning in circles on his perch, and indoor recall. Beaker came from a pet store and was never handle until I got him,and was scared of everything. Through positive re-enforcement I was able to have him step up an my finger with-in 1 week. Now he follows me every where I go. I want to start harness training him for outside but I don't have a aviator harness yet but plan on getting one soon. I know that was a bit long winded but that's my story so far. Here's a video I shot last year of Beaker.

I look forward to being an active member in this community.
