I'm doing Susan's course atm and after only the second lecture it's really making me think as to how I'm managing my different birds.

Before I started the course I'd started to look at Arthur refusing to go back in his cage. Yep the classic chase the birdy thing. It was getting us nowhere and was causing problems in our relationship. Nowadays when I decide it's time for Arthur to go back I show him and almond, put them in his food dish in the cage making sure he's watching and sure enough, he goes back in there no fuss. He's getting something out of going back in his cage (the almond) which seems to be more desirable then spending extra time out.
