Bandit's Improvement
For one week now I have been trying to train my new bird , Bandit. I have been trying all sorts of different techniques me and parents have found on the internet , but none have been working. We did though , go to one site and find a technique that is working very well! This technique is called the "Touch Training System". What happens is I have this stick and I have a little clicker attached to it. The little clicker is clicked every time he touches the stick to show that he is going to get a treat. We use his favorite treat, Millet to reward him. When he starts to trust me enough I put my hand out for him to step on to my hand and that way he can get used to my hand. It has been going great! I have had him climb to the other side of cage , step on different perches , walk out onto the perch shown in the video , and even step out onto a stick that I was holding up outside his cage!!! But he hasn't stepped on my hand yet.
I would also like to post the results for What's your Favorite President,
In 4th .............................it's a tie ......................... Abraham Lincoln , Ronald Reagan , and John F. Kennedy with 0 votes and 0 %
In 1st........................................George Washington!!!!!! With 4 votes and 100 %
Check the same spot for a new poll!!! Till he steps on my hand and till the next poll .................



WOW!!! Josh you are doing a fantastic job training Bandit. Soon he'll be walking onto you hands. Keep up the good work.
Love and miss you,
Love, Grandma
