2024-08-30 03:24:04 +0000 UTCYou always give the perfect advice -- it's creeping me out! ;) But thank you -- yes, I knew that I was likely reinforcing the "scared" and the behavior that comes with it, but could not think of how to work through it. The idea that through that specific method of (basically) the power pause could help reinforce a cue from him that he was uncomfortable, respect that information, and then work with it seems simple, but had not dawned on me. Also, you should sell those drawings and charts. Or maybe you do? The first one, with the training recall I think (the "maze"?) is incredible! (Oh, and P.S., we are working with our wonderful avian vet, and often talk about quality of life vs. extending what will likely be suffering, for him and other birds. Fortunately, he does not have any open wounds now -- but lots of Bird Tricks perches, toys, and training!)

2024-08-29 20:49:44 +0000 UTCI think that's a great idea! Sometimes switching trainers works wonders for certain behaviors.

2024-08-29 20:28:13 +0000 UTCI did watch the training course and the luring was not even working instead they flew to my shoulder. So I am almost wondering if Iβm not the one to train this but have one of the kids? ( Btw my youngest is 16 so they are not small children)

2024-08-29 19:37:18 +0000 UTCThank you for answering my question. I will work on the small increments with Oscar. I also loved the queuing by the bird's name advice. I've been saying Oscar's name during flight training with a slight difference in cadence than I usually say it. I also need to work on making sure that is really what is queuing him. A Zoom indoor flight training course sounds great!
