Salty a star??

wrench13 · Mar 30, 2020

If you have ever seen these videos on Youtube, where the poster has put together assorted clips of other peoples parrots, you know they grab from lots of sources. We've all seen them, I know they are a big hit in our house. Some clips are so funny they make it into a lot of these type montages. Imagine our surprise when some of Salty's training sessions started to show up in a few! I expect he will start demanding the premioum parrot food now. And funniest is, he recognizes himself and will get exceptionally loud.

Congratulations on the international status, Salty!

I'm shocked that you have gotten to this point Al without having to provide the good stuff!

Julio was stick-eyeing us during the first week. And of course, he had his GF rapped around his talon a week later...

Ofcourse he is a star! I think he knows the most tricks if any parrots on the forum!
If you tbi k your parrot knows more tricks then Samtu then share them with us? A looser as lo g as my parrots know how to give me a dry kiss, I'm a happy underachiever.

Heres a list of all Salys tricks. I joined IAATF, which is a bird training organization, geared mostly to raptor birds and shows, but they all gave me some great ideas on furthering Saltys education and advanced training methods. Things like combining some tricks, making an obstacle course sort of.

Current tricks:

Step Up
Shake Hands
High Five
Wave Hello
Turning in Circles
Riding a Bird Bike
Playing Pool
Picking the Kings from a Deck of Cards
Putting Money in a Bank
Playing Piano
Playing Xylophone
Climbing Ladder (vertical and inverted)
Fetch a Ball
Sorting Colored Rings into Boxes
Stacking Blocks
Playing Dead
Spinning on a Chopstick
Goes Down Slide
Finds Treat Hidden Under Cloth
Goes thru Multiple Rings
Created Trick - Balancing Ring and Stepping Thru
Created Trick - Flipping Ring Over Head
Does The Bomb (whistle - bang)
Puts Harness on
Goes Thru 4ft Section of PVC Pipe
Puts Variety of Objects in His Cup & Hands to Me
Puts Variety of Objects into Shopping Basket and Goes Shopping
Laughs on Command
Gives Kisses
Throws Toy Away on Command
Play Peek-a-Boo
Bowling
Picking out different animals ( out of little rubber figurines of them)

The bowling is a new trick. I showed him how to do it and on the second session he picked the metal bowling ball up in his beak, walked down the little alley and started knocking down pins with the ball in his beak ! So he understands quite a bit and is prepared to cheat!

You and Salty are stars and legendary!!

GaleriaGila · Mar 31, 2020

Geeeeez, Salty does more tricks than *I* do! I could PROBABLY fetch a ball and... play dead DEFINITELY, but that might be about it.

We love you, Saltyyyyyyyyyyyyy!

No question marks required Master Wrench, Salty was always a star!

wrench13 · Mar 31, 2020

Ya'll know I'm always saying that Salty would paint my house for a pine nut, looks like that might just be true someday!

LaManuka · Mar 31, 2020

That sounds like a good deal to me. I’ve got a house needs painting and I’d give him a whole bag of pine nuts to do it

Salty a star??
