Trick training :)

[AnimalLuver]

So today is Day 1 of Diego's trick training. He extremely tame; lets me grab him with my hands,pet him like a cat, feed him with my hands, shoulders rides/even head rides xD; so I want to try actual tricks for an upcoming bird show. He knows "climb up the ladder" with a piece of millet and "go through the ladders hole" but I don't know any more tricks to teach him. Can anyone help me? I'll upload a video of his tricks ASAP :)

[i love Budgie]

A few more tricks you could teach him could be:

- Turn around
- Dance
- Go through a hoop
- Basketball or bowling (you can get toys like this)
- Jump

I can't think of any others :o I can;t wait to see the videos though :)

I've earned Diego's trust and he's perfectly fine with being "grabbed" When I say grabbed I don't mean "grab" as in mean, abusive hard grabbing, I mean grab as in when you clip his nails and you have to hold him. He's used to being grabbed (held:) ) because he was hand-fed as a baby and he isn't from a pet shop. I've taught him some new tricks too:
Kiss (and doesn't stop :giggle: )
Fly to me
Go through a hoop (that I make with my hands)
