Video When it all went horribly wrong...

[Fuzzy]

Tonight we linked together targeting and turning around...

Ok - the outtake when it went very horribly wrong....

 

[Clueless]

Rats, can't watch video now or will put my zons in a snit.

This will remind me tomorrow. .....

 

[Dartman]

Man, Ollie has certainly slowly blossomed in your care. Then he says now we're going to play stick my way...

 

[fashionfobie]

He was playing fetch with you His training of you is going very well.

Darling Ollie could never be bad.

 

[Zara]

Hehehehe, little cutie! He´s like ¨this my stick now.....- nope, don´t want it¨

 

[Fuzzy]

Thanks everyone! I love Ollie playing up.... he was so shy and frightened when he first arrived. He is very different now. Such an enthusiastic and playful boy.

 

[Lady Jane]

Very nice. What's next?

That's warms my heart I love hearing about birds that come out of their shells Good on you for helping him reach his full potential

LOL - Ollie knows how to target - he's been doing it for years. I usually use the other end of the stick and thought I'd change things up and see how he reacted. I think he was quite taken with the ball on the end.

You are a slave driver, Dianne!!! Next is I MUST teach him to enter his travel cage again. I did it for our house move (it took a year of brief daily episodes of desensitizing, to go in, to have the door shut for increasing lengths of time, etc), but stupidly I didn't bother continuing with it once we relocated. What if I needed to take him to the vet? So that is the plan!

Thanks Sarah! I often think, "if only his previous humans could see him now". These stupid people nearly killed him with neglect.

I agree, but in my case I think, Dad see all the cool things you coulda done w/ him! I think that they (my Dad & my Buddy), were the best of friends but I think after a point Dad maybe didn't have the mechanism to take him past a certain point.

All I know, is I him & how smart he is to me!

Ollie on the second video reminds me of the master of ceremony during the parade. I'm not sure if it is the right word. What I mean is the man who goes in front of the others, has this long stick in his hand and does all of those flip-flops and other impossible stunts. All of this while walking.
Ollie is a beautiful bird, and very talented.

Maybe we'll have teach him to parade with a baton next, since he is already so talented at it!

That's so lovely, Rain! I'm glad you were able to take him further.

 

[zoo mom]

Ollie is so handsome and quite talented with the baton.

Thanks Elaine! Will pass your message along to the talented one!
