Emma and I have new games.
1. Everyone comes out of the cage. Then, I call Emma. She flies to my arm. She gets a sunflower seed, and I praise her all over the place, while also WALKING TOWARD THE DOORWAY to the dining room. When she finishes the seed, I stop walking and offer her another seed. While she eats it, I walk a little further. If she stays, she gets another seed.
The goal is to get her into the dining room, without the other birds, to play with her on the dining room table.
2. Emma is on top of the cage. I call her. She flies to my arm. I tell her how wonderful she is, and start to turn toward the sofa, saying "Wheeee! Wheeee!" and swaying back and forth. When she gives up and flies back to the cage, I go over and give her a sunflower seed and tell her how wonderful she is. The goal is for her to let me take her all the way to the couch
3. I wonder what it is that makes Tiels love Q-tips so much.

You really are making wonderful progress with her Diana! I'm so glad! Had you clipped her wings or is all this progress without clipping? I really am so happy for you and for Emma!

I haven't clipped her wings yet, because it's been too busy.
