Hi there,
I'm new to the forums and firstly just wanted to say a big thank you to everyone for providing such a great resource.
I brought home Mochi (Green Cheek Conure, nearly 6 months old) in September. I absolutely adore her and feel like I've been immensely lucky to have found such a great little bird.
I've been really enjoying training her, which she also seems to have taken to. We started with target training and since then, she has learned to wave, eagle trick, spin, retrieve, place objects into a small box and recently to put coins into a piggy-bank box. I also regularly practice recall training (walking) with her. Her wing was damaged when she was a baby so she is unable to perform any flying tricks.
I'm really keen to keep teaching her new skills but am struggling to find a heap more online in terms of trick ideas, tutorials ect. I've looked quite a bit on youtube (mainly flock-talk, parrot wizard, nowcast), tried to search forums (apologise if I have missed any great threads here) and read the Clicker training for Parrots book.
Anyway, I'd greatly appreciate any tricks, tutorials, sites, books - anything, that anyone might have. I am keen to teach Mochi the roll-over / play dead trick but I'm taking this slowly as she's a bit cautious when I try to gently roll her.
Thanks for your time!
Ed
ps. I've attached some pics of her hanging out with my girlfriend (who also loves to spoil Mochi).
