I have a Green Cheek Conure named Arya who was raised to be hand friendly and knew step up when we adopted her.

I really don't know what to do next with her. I've seen people train their bird to "Skateboard" on those little finger boards, but I'm not to sure about that one. Does anyone have any ideas as to what I can teach my birdie?
I'd love your suggestions, links, and tips. If you have a trick that you do with your bird, I'd love to hear it and what kind of steps you took to teach it.
Thanks y'all!
