Thank you!🥹♥️
I just wanted to comment on the shoulder rushing. My female eclectus skittles is a rescue who was horrible at this. I first tried just to keep the arm in the v form to discourage it and she would still jump across. For her positive reinforcement is attention. Especially baby talk. So I began ONLY talking to her and engaging with her when she was on my hand. I would hold my hand in front of my face and baby talk to her and tell her how pretty she is. When on my shoulder I would only talk to other people/animals and would basically ignore her there. After 4-6weeks she learned the hand was the better place to be. I can now talk to her on my shoulder because she voluntarily comes down. If she ever back tracks to not coming down when I ask I will go back to not. She now stays on my hand MOST of the time and goes on and off my shoulder if I place her there with no issues!
That's great, training the positive behaviours we want to see takes times and patience as you have shared here! And yes sometimes positive reinforcement as Carlie also mentioned can be the attention, the talking, the singing - Mia loves this as well, she's a sucker for attention!
Dear Sandra and Carlie, thank you so much, this is quite frankly the best bird podcast I've ever seen. And I've watched hundreds so the bar is very high! I love my bird research which I've been doing for 5 years now. Every thing that you've covered is so amasing and so honestly and beautifully presented. You are both incredible and I hope you are very proud. I am certain that getting all this information out there will be a game changer for so many birds and their humans. I so hope that you get together again. Perhaps even focused on bird clipping! Eek. I think that a lot of people still don't realise that breeders do this to so they need less space and can more easily control and feed them and consequently churn out more babies and make more money. And then convince an unsuspecting potential owner who trusts them, that it is a necessity for the birds safety. When it is the polar opposite for so many reasons. It's so unfair to both the human and bird and is at last being made illegal in at least one European country that I know of. I hope that others follow suit sooner rather than later. All the best for your future ventures which I very much look forward to xxx
Such beautiful words Debs thank you xxx
Thank you for your kind words, appreciate it!😊❤ I am so happy to hear you love the podcast and the clawsome feedback! I would love to have Carlie back on the pod one day😀 she shared a lot of great insights with us in this episode! & Yes to wing clipping it's so awful and that's a whole topic on it's own - I have whole video on just wing clipping alone but I know we could do a whole episode on that as well... Which European country has banned it?
@@ShelbyTheMacaw we need to do another podcast episode😜
