Merlin on camera

[PyscoFalcon]

Well now Merlins not too scared of camera I used the reccording side of it during a bit or training this morning and this is what turned out.

Not that great as it is a small digi cam and she didn't draw blood even tho it hurt lol. (Don't forget she's still scared of hands!)

Really wants to interact with you for food at least.

Would try to get to fly to a chair back and not another birds cage. Don't give treat on another birds cage. Would not be good if the bird in the cage bites his foot.

very nice little birdy...i have not seen white eyed's for a while.

also. try working on stepping up. even though he is not sure about hands yet you should try and get to that quickly. maybe get a "T-stand" and have your hand get slowly closer to him with treats in the other hand. if he tries to bite...move your and and treats away...that way he knows. biting equals....no treats. and sloly try and get him to side step onto your hand. it shouldn't take to long. one more thing. try having a training session in a room with no distractions. like a bathroom.

Aww thanks.
It's impossible to train in another room - Aviry birds in other room, kitchen too dangoures and there's no way I can get her upstairs safetly.

The dark cage she flew to is her own. Other cage has bobby in who's a red rump parakeet and very old. He doesn't care what she does on his cage (goes there without me telling her to anyway and plays with his toys thru bars)

lol @ her sounding like me - make no wonder dog comes running up to me suddenly sometimes :p

Is it possible to make a T stand? (gather it looks like a T)

[greencinacheeks]

ha ha...yes it looks like a T...

To make one...all you really need is some PVC piping, however, you can make them out of many different things.

find a suitable base, you could also make this out of PVC, and then the things you will need to connect your PVC pieces is the like 3 way PVC corner things, some end PVC pieces....sorry this isn't very helpful...i was looking for some picture but just could not find any and my camera is not working...uhhh


i am sure someone will some by with better instructions.

Cheers.

I'll have a fiddle about when I'm not so achey. Will have to leave it near her cage for a few weeks for her to get used to it too.
