This is all solid advice. I have never used target training but I am considering this to build confidence in my very phobic new DYH rescue. High value treats have been helpful to get him to explore parts of his cage that he fears and to step up. He still sometimes looks at my hands with fear so it has been a slow process. I have had him for a month. He loves head scratches and his freedom. His cage door is always open now. I was told he was kept in a cage for 36 years with no toys. Previous to this I have raised and trained hand fed babies which were soooo easy. My new guy progresses every day but slowly. Thank you for your videos.
Hi, I love your channel, your videos are so informative. I have a CAG who is about 6 months, we are currently training him regarding toilet training using a clicker and praise and head scratches.
We try giving him treats from our hands but he doesn't want to know anything about that. He gets annoyed and tries to bite our fingers, this happens when we put the treats flat on our palm too. He seems to prefer just the treat and clicker, we don't force the treats and have just focused on the clicker and head scratches. Do you have any advice for our parrot to accept the treats or should we leave it since he's happy without them? Thanks
Hi, I’m adopting a African Grey Parrot. I am learning so much from your videos. I have also done some research on these birds as you recommended on one of your videos. It’s so wonderful to see how much you love Smoking especially knowing how birds are being neglected and abused. I’m not sure if you made a video of how you make your foraging wood toys. Do you think that sometime in the future that you can show how you make your foraging toys for Smoky? Thank you so much for sharing your videos. I’m enjoying them.
I have an African Grey.. He is very close to us. You should have asked smokey to put the ball in the green cup. Just to see if he knew what was expected of him.. Or you should have removed the red cup. Just a thought.. I'm not trying to be critical.. Lots of love

I may not have seen it, but where did you get the colored jars and balls? This is a useful training tool. Thanks for sharing,
Thank you so much for your very interesting and informative videos. I enjoy them all and shortly I will be bringing home a white cap baby Pionus.
Would a parrot copy the sound of the clicker and use it as reward for the humans? ^^
How did you train your dog to live with the bird? Can you let both in the same room or would this not be safe for smokey?
