I am so happy. When Merlin was at the vet last week he mentioned that he was a little thin. I am working on putting on a little weight but he also thought he needed to build some muscle. So, I am clicker training Merlin to flap his wings on cue and he is doing really well with that (I will post video when I have some).

Also, I am switching back and forth between his play stands. I have one manzanita that I attached a climbing net to that is about two feet high that forces him to climb down for his food on. Then, I had purchased one that has dowels and platforms which is the one I usually use. I am cleaning the easy one so I moved the manzanita one back in and put his food dish at the bottom and his water on the top. He actually climbed down to eat and then climbed back up. He never did this before when we used this one. So, I am going to switch back and forth between the two.
