Started to clicker train!

Well I have had the clicker and books for about a week and Echo has caught on very quickly! In a matter of a few minutes he had the idea and has learned three things already!!

#1 when I say stretch your wings he will open and lift his wings all the way and will make a whooshing noise/ He decided to add the noise himself.

#2 when I say upside down birdie he will flip himself upside down (we do this on the door of his cage.)

#3 he is learning to lay on his back. This one is hard for him but he has the idea!!

I give him small bits of walnut as soon as he hears the click. I have decided that the walnut will only be given to him when we are in training class Class is only for about 10 minutes so he dosn't get to many treats and or loose is attention span.
