Teaching Nzinga!

Post by wilkifam » Wed Feb 03, 2016 12:43 pm

Pete has been working with Nzinga to "Fly Here" and "Fly Home" (back to her cage) on command. It is working quite well, although sometimes she comes when she is not called. "Stay" is proving to be harder then the other two commands. She was sitting in her cage last night congratulating herself. Saying - "GOOOOD Bird!, Good Girl, Good fly home!"

Oh my goodness, that is so cute.

If that's Pete in the picture, he looks scared, poor man, lol.

She is absolutely lovely, and most definitely a 'good girl'.
