So I trained him to use a stool to jump on a bench. I'd suggest you focus on one bird first and take them to a stress-free environment away from the others (no distraction) to train tham.Thanks! In the meantime, could you tell me what you did?
Pick a treat that isn't messy and that they like a lot.
The book goes into more detail about how to get them started on it.
- First I clicked and treat for any behavior he did (preening, cheeping etc) so he learns that the click means treat
- Then I put the treat bowl at the top of the bench and encouraged him to jump on the stool. When he did, Click & treat
- I took him down and encouraged him to do it again. Click & Treat
- Took him down, C&T when he got on the stool, then encouraged him to jump on the bench.
- When he got on the bench, he gets treat jackpot, a click and feeding him multiple treats one at a time.
- Took him down and he got a click and small treat at the stool, amd click and jackpot at the bench.
- Eventually, he'd know what to do, and would only get a click and treat when he reachedbthe bench
