On the youtube site, the description is valuable text, describing the steps, how many minutes, how and why in training.

Great pictures!

I have one hen, Henwyn, a black Austrolorpe, who stops whatever she is doing and comes RUNNING when I call "henwyn ! What's this?" Food motivated of course.

And my EE roo flies onto my arm for a can of sweet corn.

One EE hen is trained to fly onto a perch for "petsies" no food motivation.

And a Dutch Bantam who flies to me to get into my coat. I think she gets cold.

And they ALL jump up for food! Absolutely hysterical that their little legs flail! A bit scary when there's 20 of them biting my fingers!
