Birds of a feather....

[Pajaro]

Greetings to my fellow bird-lovers.

After perusing this website on many occasions, I finally decided to become a member of BackYard Chickens. This website offers a wealth of information about birds from knowledgeable people and those willing to share their experiences. Add colorful, friendly people and you have a recipe for learning and fun!
My goal is to find and train smart, tractable chickens to do agility and stupid tricks. I had a white-crested blue polish cockerel that was a great prospect, until hormones kicked in ...
Then his brain ' went out the window' and he lost interest in people, including our carefully cultivated relationship.
My past experience with birds was owning a few guinea fowl.
I've had a bit of dog training experiencing in conformation and obedience.
My final comment: Is that Stroszek a real showman, or what?

If you tackle trick training of another bird, I hope you document how you did it and what you were able to teach him/her.

Best of luck to you!

Welcome to BYC! All I've been able to train my chickens to do is go into the coop when I say "up" and fly onto my arm, that's about all they're willing to do for food...
