Help! I have reccently started target training my cockatiel a few days ago. When he is on his training perch I would place the stick on the other end and my cockatiel would come and touch the tip of the stick without a problem. For the last two days I've been placing my 'tiel on a table so I can target train him a little further away, however he doesn't go to the stick as usual, he justs stands there looking lost in space. When i nudge him he would just look up at me, then run to me ignoring the stick completely. So when he's on the table I put the stick closer to him so all he has to do is reach forward but he still stands there looking lost in space...
He's fine target training on his perch though.
