Struggling to motivate Fennel...
Added 2021-10-02 13:00:05 +0000 UTCThis is definitely my hardest project bird in a while. I've tried safflower seeds, sunflower seeds, walnuts, pine nuts, almonds, cashews... this time I give sweet potato a try and it doesn't seem to make a difference either! But then I finally find something that seems to peek her interest.

2021-10-04 23:31:04 +0000 UTCDo you think maybe because she is so young she hasn't been introduced to any treats so she doesn't recognize them. I know so many breeders will give millet first thing. I had to introduce my Ringneck to treats so he would take a variety of treats. He only knew what millet was when I first brought him home.

2021-10-02 18:48:24 +0000 UTCI laughed all the way through this video, it just reminds me of those wonderful days I had my eclectus pair. I always have said my female was my dinosaur, even my tortoise moved faster than she did except when she struck, then watch out. But with my girl I found it was relationship, relationship, relationship. I didn't really try to train her to do a lot of things because she always stepped up readily. But it is a real joy to watch you train her!
