Question Things to do with your fids?

Hiya All,

I was just wondering what you all do for fun or training with your birds?

I seem to just more or less "play" with Gypsy when I have her out. She likes to play ruff, It seems to get her excited anyway. She enjoys chasing my hand around the couch, and flying from me to the couch, and back again. I'm concerned with letting her "feel dominant" in play. Could this cause problems later on? What else can we do to share time together?

She really seems shy of being down low, like on the couch cushins, or on the floor. So she is always trying to race back up to a high point when I try and take her down to my lap. I have tried breifly to teach "step up" training. But she justs avaiods me and flys to where she wants. I have bought her foot toys but she looses them all behind the couch. I sware she thinks im a retriever!

What else is there to do?
