When I did a course on animal behaviour , with a view to training dogs, it included a unit on training a species other than dogs using positive reinforcement and operant conditioning. Our class was teaching pigs to touch targets but in previous years chickens were trained.
If you spend enough time with an animal one gets to know their ways and they yours. My girls all know the sound of the bin lid where the meal worms are kept!![]()
Too true. I was planting out azaleas this afternoon when the man mentioned there were 4 girls out ~ They always know where I am if I am out in the yard @ all~ & they had all come looking for me even though they know I'll pop them back in their run. And they all wanted to tell me all about everything. So even though they were chivied back they were yakking away 19 to the dozen.
