Entertaining video for sure! We have a green cheek conure who also says "Come 'ere." He learned it from me getting him up off the floor and has paired it to heightened behavior. I can interact with him then, but VERY carefully and thoughtfully or I will get bit.

I thought now why would you want to pet a dancing bird! Lol plus now I gotta go look up "tater" jokes! Very cute video!

2022-12-08 20:19:00 +0000 UTCThe power pause works best when it can also be paired with giving a treat so if you can find a way to incorporate that, it may progress faster

2022-12-08 19:23:00 +0000 UTCPoor thing my Older African Grey was a family bird who were kinda neglected, used to do it any time something foreign was close to him (maybe even few times a day) few years passed he rarely does this (rarely is almost never, maybe at the vet where he’s freaking out.) , I am hopeful for your birdo to be happy and acclimated soon!

2022-12-07 21:31:34 +0000 UTCBody language is what I’m still working on with two of my Quaker parrots. Echo has entered into the puberty stage of his life and it has been absolutely challenging because some of his reactions are very subtle. Caiques are AMAZING birds. They are very expressive and lively for such a small bird. Thank you for this video!

2022-12-07 19:39:29 +0000 UTCThank you for not editing this video and letting us see the real-life banter between the two of you! The bird videos are cute and educational, but seeing the narrative go a little off the rails from time to time is super fun! (Doesn't everybody's brain do this some days??!!!)

2022-12-07 15:24:43 +0000 UTCSo funny! Oscar was making a similar backwards lean and eye pin when I was carrying him from his main cage to his sleeping cage. This would be after I got a little neck pinch when he first came out. So I tried stuffing a pine nut in his beak the instant he came out of his cage. Hard to pinch necks when you are chewing a treat. He stopped the heightened leaning and eye pinning too. After a week I delayed the treat more and more until we got a little closer to the sleeping cage. If he pinched or got too wild no treat. Another week and he is completely relaxed going to bed. He waits patiently for me to fix his water bowl and he earns his treat. I suspect he was initially afraid to pass so close to the television near his cage. Now he is so focused on earning his treat that he doesn't notice anything.
