I have never seen a telescopic target stick like that. Very interesting. I use chop sticks. So many things can happen due to a simple target stick 😊 It's important to target train your birds 🐦 🩵🐦🩷

Totally! The telescopic one is definitely useful for larger parrots too!

@TheParrotTeacher hmmm... I wonder what my umbrella Jake would think about the orange ball on the end 🤔 🕊 He's target and clicker trained. I glued my clickers to the end of my chopsticks. Jake would most likely say, "What's that ?" He's a full-on talker with a vocabulary of about 22 to 24 words. He's a mess 😂🤣 A good mess 💙

Muy energico

Sir, I have two questions for you since I got a cockatiel yesterday and it's my first. Should I get one more to keep it company and should it be in the same cage? The pet shop said that mine is two and a half months. My second question is can I vacuum in the same space or will he get a heart attack? Sorry if I sound stupid

I’ll reply to the second first! Yes you can vacuum but be careful initially and try to make it obvious what you’re doing! Secondly we generally recommend birds kept in pairs but they can be happy solo if you put enough effort in! I have lots of videos about cockatiels and pairs of birds on the channel!

You are amazing for answering and I have a few follow ups as well,what if the other one is the same gender😅will that be ok? Or will they argue?I assume it needs to be the same age?In the same cage I assume?(It's pretty big) And then I will try and have it free in my house every day but I'm really anxious about it not going in again cause I need to be able to do that for safety reasons 😢😢so sorry for the silly questions

There’s a lot to unpick there! A bit much for a comment reply! In short same gender is fine but generally best from same clutch, different ages can work and if they aren’t from the same clutch then they should be housed separately initially! I actually have two videos one on bonding two birds and another on housing them Together!

My little conure is scared of any stick come close to him😑

The most common solutions to that are change the stick or get them used to the stick first before attempting the target! This can be via through the bars targeting or reinforcing them for just approaching it!
