Here I am with my millet, my target stick, and my shy uncooperative cockatiel. So, who comes out of the cage, climbs over to Emma's porch, and starts jumping on my hand and stealing millet, but my budgie Snowy.
Snowy will jump right onto my finger, in hopes of getting millet. So, I did a few rounds of: you perch on my finger, you get some millet. Then I put him back on the cage top to try to go back to work with Emma.
But, then, there's the millet, on the floor, in a glass dish. Snowy wasn't hiding behind the door when brains were handed out. So, when I next go to pick up the millet spray to reward Emma, Snowy is perched on it, pigging out.
Because I got Piper first, and got Snowy for Piper, I expected Piper to train more easily. But, then, you never know.
