How Does Your Bird Respond To His/Her Favorite Treats or Food?

[Taw5106]

I wanted to find out how your bird acts for his/her favorite foods or treats. With Buddy he loves home made popcorn (no salt, butter or oil) and scrambled egg. With either of these he starts chirping up a storm, runs laps around his perches and can't get his head in the bowl fast enough. Then while eating he's making the bird equivalent of "mmmmmmmmmmm". Cracks me up every time.

Avery and Shiko LOVE almonds. It's their training treat. When I'm sitting at their little "station" (where I keep everything of theirs) and they notice me touch the bag, Avery will fly over and scale across my clothing to get to the bag. Shiko will flutter from his cage onto the ground and climb up the leg as fast as possible to get to them. It hilarious! And, when Avery is REALLY desperate, she'll turn around multiple times to get one. It's so cute

Kiwi does not usually 'beg' but every so often, he wants something you have (typically toxic things like chocolate) and that's when his "vocabulary" comes out. Well, he can only say "hello" or "hi", and when he REALLY REALLY wants something, thats when he chooses to 'speak' The little turd. When he does that, then you feel obligated to share (or find an appropriate treat if its something he can't have). You get an appreciatory, shrilly "WEEEEEEET" noise at the top of his lungs when you deliver:52:

When I'm holding a seed in my hand Cookie goes crazy doing all nine of her tricks. It's really funny. She gets so desperate for ONE little seed. She runs around hopping and head bobbing too. And if she sees the bag the seed is in, she climbs in the bag and starts eating loads of seed while making happy chirpy noises.

That sounds adorable.
Avery sounds like Cookie with the turning around. Cookie turns around like crazy too, but she also does other stuff like scratches her face (trick) and shakes her feathers (also trick) which is pretty weird to watch. She just generally goes crazy doing everything she can to get one tiny seed. It's really funny.

Cute stories!

My sun conure will be very obedient when he knows he might get an almond. He all of a sudden remembers that 'come!' means to fly to my finger, 'wipe!' means to clean his beak on his wipe-wipe perch.
