Help! I'm trying to find things that are "irresistible" to help with training. Mine like walnuts/pecans, pomegranate seeds, occasional millet, and Nutriberries, but sometimes none of those work well enough. I welcome your ideas.

My green cheek only wanted foot toys for training! She wouldn't take treats. Things that made noise like the mini maracas were a favorite

Forget gold, Dragon, my crimson bellied conure LOVES grapes!:lol:
I’ve had to become quite stingy with them because he gets really hyper fixated on the grape, so now I only use them rarely for learning new tricks or for extra good behavior I want to really encourage. Otherwise he responds well to millet as a treat.
I was lucky to learn what his favorite was fairly quickly, but don’t give up testing out all the different things and you’re bound to find a favorite eventually!

Safflower seeds were always a beloved treat.

Tikal gets small sips of carrot juice on occasion just for being a sweet guy.

I'll second this.

But I think my conure values attention over any particular food item.
Oh, yes, my Quaker LOVES the attention and good boys and showy excited praise! I think a lot of conures also love praise? My ringneck hates it so I don't want to generalize!

Doing this already - heaping praise and validation! But there are 2 of them and they have different personalities. One is doing great with training, the other is a little troublemaker/escape artist :laughing2:
