Didn't have much time to train on saturday as the tire store was very busy. Heard an all to familiar comment from a customer though. "hey, how come your birds outside don't fly away" "Well, I said, the birds are clipped but they are content to stay in and around the tree." "Wow I have a Blue and Gold but he's in his cage most of the time"....."I'm afraid he'll fly away"..... " Im thinking great... poor macaw probably never gets out of the cage." Too many birds are purchased and forgotten, stuck to live their lives out in a damn cage.
Today I spent about fifteen minutes with Dundee.... he has the target training down and knows if he touches the tip of the target stick... bam he gets a treat. He's very content to stay right by me and play his vending machine game and that's progress but I was hopping I could get him to step onto my hand if I put my hand between him and the target. So far not even a lift of the foot but I'm going to keep at it.... more later
