Here's Duke doing a couple of old tricks - he can 'turn around' on command and he can 'wave'. If anyone else know any other tricks I can use to train Duke then let me know, I would love to train him new tricks.  |

Oh no, your laptop is broken again!? Hope you can get it repaired.... I've ordered a clicker to do some clicker training with Duke, his brain needs stimulation, also i'm going to do target training with him  |

yep same problem as last time lol only we learned how to fix it ourselves this time lol just waiting to order the part. he looks like he would enjoy clicker training i'd bet recall training would be right up your alley too |

I have some plans I yet to do. the project after some clicker training is to buy Duke a harness, then I'll attach a long cord to his harness and do some recall training outside, I'll take some pics to show you when that time comes  |

that will be fun i might try that with my tiels, but first indoors... i bring them out on their harnesses when its warm, so recall training would be important if they happen to get loose |

Yeah I know it will be fun, I can't wait! What you could do is when you take the tiels out in their harnesses, you let your husband hold the tiels and then he releases them to fly over to you - start off with short distances first the grudually move further away.

thats an idea but i get so nervous when they fly even secure on their harnesses. hawks are one concern |

It always nerve ranking at first, I am nervous too. I'm only going to fly Duke about 5 meters away from me and if I feel it is safe then I shall harness train all the conures too. I will update you on the safety issue once I get started |
