Elliot and Spree have been working on their new tricks so they could show everyone. I finally got new batteries for my video camera so here they are..
Spree doing "turn around" (she learned this one very quick)

I hope you enjoyed them!!! Any ideas on what to teach them next??? I could really use some ideas!

HOW CUTE! You are doing a great job with them!
You can teach the wave with the other hand/foot/claw/whatever.
How about "take a bow"
I got a book called "parrot tricks" by Robar and Grindol and it's very good.
It gives very detailed instruction about how to train. I love it!

Thanks for the ideas 
Spree is working on making a basket now...its a long process...first i have to teach her to pick the item up, then put it in my hand, then replace my hand with the basket...kinda hard. This trick is taking longer than 20 minutes!

Okay .. I'm jealous ...
How did you teach the tricks? Is there a good book or guide to teach me how to teach .. lol ??!!!
what a great job, nikki!!! i love how spree immediately listened and elliot thought he could get away with a half turn at first but still expected the treat.
elliot looks like a big boy... do you know how much he weighs? or is spree just smaller?

-I got the ideas off of birdchannel.com There is an article about training your birds to do tricks. Here is the link...http://www.birdchannel.com/bird-behavior-and-training/default.aspx
Actually Elliot is only about 100 grams on a fat day Spree is 104 normally. She is not a year old yet and he is over a year. I think he is kinda small but everyone says he looks fat because he is stalky
