Hi everyone
I brought home the sweetest pineapple gcc on Black Friday. She is a tough little bird when it comes to food. She won't eat pellets. She won't eat fruits and veggies. She hold out for seed. Ugh
She is not food motivated for training. She let me scratch her head in her cage but she is clueless about stepping up and is fearful. She doesn't bite or nip at all. Her body language is clear tho.
So I decided today to start target training her with the clicker and chopstick. My red belly and Senegal were doing their repertoires of tricks while I was working with her. Is it possible to train her with just verbal praise? She seemed to get excited with a happy voice. I'm used to my boys who are pigs in feathers. She is stumping me not food motivated. Not toy motivated. She will snuggle on my neck for hours. So affection seems to be what makes her tick. Can this be successful for training?
