    Thank you for another great informative video,I love the fact that no matter how long u have been keeping birds that learning never stops and there is aways something new to learn 😊 I’m trying to syringe train Davy and I just realised I’m guilty of moving the syringe to him as he’s moving away from it,so from now on I’m gonna try to be a lot more aware of body language. I think we need to be trained more than our birds lol 😅 ❤

    Thank you Sophie for this video. I took in a 15 yr old Cockatiel about 4 months ago. I have no history of his past, as his previous owner passed. When he came to me he was severely underweight and had rubbed his feathers off of his chest from swaying back and forth on the horizontal bars of his cage. ( small cage 😢)
    I moved Mickey into a larger cage with vertical bars so he was unable to sway and rub his chest. I am happy to say his feathers are growing back and he has gained weight . He came with a box of Cockatiel seed and was told that is what he ate.
    This poor bird is terrified of anything new..be it a new perch , toys or food. Mickey will not go to the bottom of the cage, he just recently started moving around to a few different perches. If I try and add anything new he will not move from his safe perch in his cage. Mickey just now stopped hissing when I change His food and water.
    He does like millet, this video was great in that it gave me the idea of placing a millet spray between the bars as I walk by. A new bowl would not work with Mickey as he would be terrified of it.
    Thanks so much for all of your videos, there is a wealth of information in them.
    P.S.
    I do have two other Cockatiels that I am training that are doing great. I do think it helps Mickey to see that I do not hurt them .

    I just love this content. I eat it up and it gives me so much to reflect on and incorporate.
    It’s made me think about the start and end of the session.
    I start the same every time. There’s a perch attached to the outside of his cage, and I’ll do a light tap on it with a target and say “Archie do you want to train?”
    He generally climbs out to that perch as quickly as his little beak will take him. It lets me know that training is still fun and worthwhile for him.
    However, I’m not feeling confident about how to signal the end of the session. I do sometimes feel that I give him a “jackpot” and I walk away. Generally he is still offering behaviours for treats but I feel like it’s a good place to end. It doesn’t feel right now that I think about it. Any ideas on how I can end a session without leaving my bird hanging?

      I'm glad you enjoye dhte video! It can be good to set your bird up with another activity, even if it's a little paper foraging straw rather than just ending the session rather htan the fun just 'stopping and the oppertunity for earning reinforcement ending if that makes sense!

    Hi Sophie, I am working with my adult cockatiel and making some progress with getting him to step up to my hand. This is a bird who has never stepped up to a human hand and has never had close human contact. He has finally touched my hand with both his foot and his beak! I am trying to coax him to step up. Hoping it works and looking for any way I can make my training even more successful.

      You will get there! Don't forget to use the tool of filming your training sessions so see if there is anything you can do differently to help him succeed!

    Hi, I don't speak english. I usually watch the videos with subtitles. It's difficult to read them with the black and white box at the bottom that shows the names. It would be great if you could move the position or the size of the box. Thanks and keep the hard work.

      You can move the subtitles box to a different place on the screen, usually easier when on a laptop/desktop!
