The little guys can do a lot of the things bigger guys can do!
In the order they were taught, Wiki (budgie) so far does:
* Target
* Step up
* Ball Fetch
* Basketball
* "Coin" retrieve - which will become piggy bank when I can find one budgie-sized
* Turn around
* Wave
* Hop over (start of flight recall ready for when he can fly again)
* Bat
* Slinky Run
* Climb up (not quite a rope climb, but he can put himself back into his cage, since he can't fly)
* Birdie bowling
Now that he can fly:
* Flight recall
* Targeted flight (to perch, to cage, to me)
* Flighted basketball (carry ball to basket)
We're also working with the zoo max psitta puzzles - the small size is budgie sized, but the bird bank is perhaps a little tall for him, so he needs a platform to make it easier to locate into a slot.
* Coin into slot
* Colour sorting onto pegs - 1 colour
Finally we've made progress and I can add:
* Wings
It's unusual, but I taught target first, because he was "grabbable" - hand tame, but refused to step up. I used target to get him voluntarily out of his cage.
