I have been seriously training my two birds - Quaker and sun - for almost two months. I donāt really know what I am doing so I have questions.
1. I am still doing a lot of the same behaviors - targeting, spinning and step up. How often should I be added a new behavior. My girls are older so I feel like they need to go a bit slower than baby birds.
2. I train them before their first meal. If I uncover them at 7am, how soon can I start training? I am concerned about jumping in when they may mentally still be waking up. However if I wait too long I worry that they will starve or whatever. I donāt take the food cups out the night before but you know I am not a bird so I donāt know how long they can go without sting before they go nuts.
3. Whst other hands off tricks can I teach them like the spin?
