Rory's Trick Medley

[highandrandom]

I've spent ages working on roll-over, and finally got it to 'pretty okay' - though it looks super awkward when he does it - I think it's more like a cartwheel actually. It's meant that we've temporarily lost 'play dead', but we'll get that back soon enough

OMG, he's ridiculously cute. Way to train! Nicely done, and some fantastic tricks. :)

[highandrandom]

Thanks! I'm particularly proud of roll-over, because that was weeks of work, whereas he worked out 'flip' in a matter of minutes.

Did i see a Quarter in his beak? i dont know if that is such a good idea seeing as how Money in general is riddled with bacteria.. Cute tricks though!

[highandrandom]

He's Australian, so it's a 50 cent piece - I hadn't thought about the bacteria - it is *his* 50 cent piece (just for him to play fetch with) and he beaks everything else in the house - I don't really see how it could be worse off than his fetch ball.

I'll have a think about it though, thanks.

I wouldn't worry about it if you washed it. However, one really cool thing to use for fetch is stainless steel washers. They're usually pretty cheap, and you can get them in all sorts of sizes. :)

He's adorable and excellent job on the tricks - he's obviously having quite a bit of fun :)

[highandrandom]

Thanks - and yeah - I think he is having fun - that and he REALLY loves sunflower seeds.

Yay, Rory! *applauds vigorously* That was a well-needed laugh this evening!

[highandrandom]

Thanks!

Wow! I love the training you've done with him.

Now I really want a bird. >.>

We've done a lot of training, but I'm also lucky that he's bright!
