Fred doesnt line to be told he cant have a peanut #rolleyes#
We are training him to recognise his name, so... as peanuts are his favorite treat... every time he comes to his name he gets a peanut
At the moment, we say his name as he flies to us and when he lands he gets a peanut so right now he gets them by default lol but it didnt take long for Kiwi and Kiki to learn this way and he's a smart bird so I'm guessing he will be a quick learner too
I like to get them to come to their name for safety reasons mainly, if one of them is going into a room that they shouldnt (like the kitchen if the cooker is on) i call their name and they come cos they know they will get their favorite treat
It's easier doing it as individual names as if i just used one word for all (ie - "home" or "here") i would get bombarded by all the birds every time i said it
Magic!!
