- So yesterday we had our first amazing sessions of step up.
Otherwise.
(parrot squawks)
Yeah, step up is just not great.
It's either perfect or it's awful.
So even getting her out of her cage this morning,
she was just like running away from me.
She eventually stepped up.
(upbeat music)
So yesterday we had our awesome step up session
and it did not translate to today in her cage,
in her aviary, I should say.
But it wasn't terrible.
It's just that she's running away from me.
And when I say running,
it's like a slow escape and then she steps up.
It's not like forcing her,
but she definitely isn't coming to me to step up,
which is annoying.
So, gonna see what I can get this morning.
Oops.
(clicks)
Was holding my clicker the wrong way.
She has been abnormally loud this morning for breakfast
because I fed everybody else and didn't feed her,
'cause I wanted to see if I could do a session this morning.
I know yesterday I said that she trains best in the evening
but I kind of wanted to see if that's true or not,
because it might just be that I finally found
the treat that motivates her versus the time of day.
So I wanted to try this morning before chaos happens
and see if that's actually true.
But yeah, I don't think that she was very happy
about watching all the other birds get fed.
She just saw me pass her by with bowls full of food
and she was just like, what the heck?
And then, I brought her onto the back porch
because I have to bring everything out here one at a time.
And she just got to the highest point
and just avoided me.
Again, she eventually steps up nice.
It's not like she's flying away and throwing a big fit
but it's just, it sucks to have a bird avoid you,
so I'm really not liking it.
I want it to change.
Kinda like the slow eating.
This takes forever.
Gonna see if I can get a better.
Oh yeah, that's probably a better angle.
Are you done yet?
I might just need to hold a small part of this out to you.
You good?
(clicks)
(chuckles)
Yeah, tiny.
Teeny tiny.
- [Dave] All right, well, see you in a little bit.
- [Jamieleigh] Okay.
- [Dave] How long is she staying, do you know?
- [Jamieleigh] Probably till we end up going out.
Wanna come here?
You remember this? - Okay.
- [Jamieleigh] We did this yesterday.
Come on, this foot, can you lift it up?
Do you remember?
Come on.
This foot, or this one?
Or this one, or this one, or this one, or this one?
Can you lift?
(clicks) Good job.
You think you deserve such a big treat for that?
Wanna come in and work with her?
- [Capri] I don't, I want you to do it.
- [Jamieleigh] Go ahead, I can see you from here.
You good, you come?
That foot.
Yeah, come here.
Come on.
Oh, darn it.
You come?
Come on.
Come on (clicks).
So I think we're starting again where we did yesterday
where she wants to go right back off
as part of her reinforcement too.
So I have to keep that in mind.
Good job.
Hm, fluffing?
Good job.
You come?
This foot?
(clicks)
(clicks) So more excited about that.
- [Woman In Background] Oh my gosh this all looks
so different.
- [Jamieleigh] Hey!
- Good morning. - Morning.
(parrot squawks)
- Oh my gosh, so pretty! (clicks)
- Yeah.
Come on (clicks).
Good job.
You can go back down first.
(clicks)
You good?
She's a little bit more uneasy today
with all the distractions.
Wanna face this way so you can see everybody?
We can do that.
We can do this way.
Step.
(clicks)
No.
(parrot squawks)
(clicks)
Okay, I think I was right before
and she's better in the evenings
after she's had breakfast.
She's annoying before then.
(laughs)
I think she just wants breakfast.
So, I'm gonna call it.
(calm music)
