I wanted to report back to say that Operation: Don't Go There was a success! Icarus and Daedalus are now consistently flying to the appropriate perch in the kitchen, even though they have to bank sharply to the right to land on it when they fly in from the living room. My training plan was: 1. Do lots of active training sessions where I cued them to fly from my hand to the perch in question. ...

I worked from home today, and I had a little help from a certain little caique parrot... This is what happens when I work from home. I think this one is my favorite of the bunch.
