Fly to me – training Pearl without a clicker


Teaching Pearl to trust me and fly to me without using a clicker. Only by using spray millet (the food im giving to her) as reinforsment. The point here is for her to want to come to me, insted of me to her. The more willing she is to come to me, the more trust she will gain on her own. *Its up to her to overcome the fear* It litearly took me the length of this video to get her flying to me. I have not trained with her since the last video where I did the trust exercise and got to pet her.

    its ok to clip the wings just make sure you get it done by someone that knows how like a vet

    yeh it is hard to train them and I do keep them together.. Pumpkin could care less if shes not there but secretly he kinda likes her around.. but its easier to train him
    Pearl on the other hand will try and find himso I have to seperate her if I want to train her and take her into another room while putting on loud music in pupkins room so they wont hear eachother lolll

    hi isabelaz,
    i posted in one of your other videos earlier. i just realised that you have two birds too. do you keep them separately or together in the same cage? i find it very hard to train one at a time as the moment one is out of the cage and i close it (thus separating them) they start calling for each other and definitely won’t pay attention to my training :p
