My bird learned to say "come here" which was my recall phrase, and now he just says it back to me; but if I sing his favourite song then he'll fly to me but he's just making me sing it for him because he dances before he flies over. I am flummoxed by it.
This is really helpful, thank you. Perfect timing too as I've just decided to start perfecting recall with my birds (they know it, but rarely perform it on demand). I'm definitely going to start training in different areas of the house now - hadn't thought about that, but it makes so much sense!
Do you have suggestions for parrotlet treats? My parrotlets find sunflower seeds too big and can't bite through most seeds. Im at a loss as to what to use for treats and rewards. Using their regular seeds is difficult cause theyre so tiny and its not rare.
I would get sunflower seeds that are already dehulled (usually found in the baking aisle or bulk department of a grocery store), otherwise I enjoyed using walnuts, pine nuts, millet, and sesame with them

Thank you flock-lady
Love your videos, always helpful.
Your vids. are always useful and explained very easy to understand, so I thank you!!!
Unrelated but love your makeup here 😊
Thank you 🫶
Great video! My birds are not great at recall so this is very useful
and sometimes.... they just don't want to.
And it’s our job to sort out why and resolve that conflict 😉
Yes this sometimes with my bird he is not into the mood, others he will immediately follow my recall que!
Btw, very helpful, keep them comng!!❤
I am wondering if you have a link for all the websites you use for all your bird products! I just want to make sure my bird has all the best products!
I basically only use two! Feathered addictions and mysafebirdstore
