Ehm, I really don't spend a lot of time practicing. Usually I only practice some minutes (3 or so??) and then three times a day, highly?
It's very important to stop when they perform the best.. In this way, you can start at this level the next time you start practicing. Very Happy

I think Sue is feeding him hand feeding formula--I've heard birds that are weaned like it as a treat (as long as they aren't just weaned)

Thanks! Smile Yes I'm giving him handfeeding formula.. Smile

Have you tried the clicker training method with any of the other birds? If so, have you had any success?

Thanks.. Smile

I have tried the clicker with Zazu. And it works with him too, but cheering works great as well. The clicker is usually handy if you need to make a 'photo' of one moment.. Very Happy

I have also used it on Nenya, my dog.. Hehehe!
