Echo is a 2 1/2 year old female SE Eclectus. I hand fed her from a baby and we are pretty attached. However she will also go to complete strangers without much trouble at all. She is super friendly and even tempered. She is also a good talker when she feels like it. I've been working with her for about a year now on and off and her progress is nothing short of amazing.
Tricks she's mastered include:
Here are some videos of her tricks.

Echo Stacking Cups - YouTube
Echo Basketball - YouTube

By the way can anyone come up with a more gratifying term for her "tricks" while still describing it accurately? I feel like it's inappropriate to refer to her as if she's performing like a circus animal, when it's something she enjoys and craves doing and it's mentally and physical exercising.
Tricks she's mastered include:
- Targeting
- Retrieve
- Coins in Bank
- Stacking nesting cups
- Wave
- Wear Aviator Flight Harness
- Recall (Flighted/nonflighted) [started]
- Put dollar bills in a bank [started]
