Hello from Slim!

Welcome and be welcomed. I think your doing a great job with Slim. One comment about your recall training - I would reward her when he lands on your hand. You want to reward as soon as possible when a given action is performed correctly, so she can associate the treat with the action. I use small slices of pine nuts for Salty's training reward, and he loves them!
Looking forward to many more videos of you and Slim.

Hi,
Slim is gorgeous, and I enjoyed your video. Also it is important to work with little babies like this at the petstores! When tgey are just weaned and young its 1000 times easier to start get thrm used to hands people , and tgey are do playful and curious at this bsbyy stage!!!@ so important to spend time with them at thus age!! In just a few weeks or a couple of months this easy to make freinds baby window is gone....
As to make freinds with other people, having her on your head and people poking fingers at her is teaching her to bite.
Instead you should have her on your hand and have her step up to a person who fingers are together and thumb is tucker and hand is sideways. Then give her a safflower sea and have her step back to you , and praise. Maybe repeat but not more than three times. Then 15-20 min later you can Do with a new pwrson or even the same person, but its super i portent at the start of this, that its just a step to tge otger habd instant seed and back to you. So she never gets tge chance to bite, that way you are reconditioning her. She us learning this is a trick this is positive and fun, abd these strangers aren't invading my space. After days weeks of multiple times of doing this you can start hsve her wait a little longer for the treat, like count to ten in your, head, then aftwr that working several times out to 20. Its very important to use the sane phrases, like step up, good birdie when she does. And only fo 1, or 2 or 3 times at one session, then wait 20-40 before doing it again.
My GCC will step up fir anyone from my hsbd to theirs, and then I git her to take a treat for from them. Touching no, touching is for flock and family for tge most part, stranger da gwr and all that lol
