Useful video. It's always good to look at how we train our birds and how to improve exisiting behaviours!

[@hexane8]

This is my new favorite bird channel because it gives so much value. Appreciate the generosity!

[@Denuhm]

Very helpful video. Thank you! I’m still doing lead desensitisation with my conure. He hates anything touching his neck.

[@bradafes2761]

So helpful thanks 😊

Identical to positive reinforcement dog training

[@carolhartley4448]

Very helpful, I trained my bird to fly to me and point for him to go back just like your doing, nice presentation❤❤

You keep mentioning hand signals, so are verbal cues not as effective or not as much recommended in your opinion?

[@hare64]

Also which one is nibbling on the mic? 😂 so cute

[@FlockTalk]

Both cues work fine provided you take the time to properly teach both- oftentimes auditory cues get pushed to the side by default unless you take the time to ensure they understand how to respond to it. That more of a training error than a learning error though- most people just focus on the physical cue while teaching so the physical cue gets learned! I’m pretty sure my necklace was rubbing on the mic in this one!
