MISHKA : Will do anything for yoghurt !!!

[antoinette]

Mishka will do ANYTHING for some yoghurt.
She dances, then turns 3 times, high fives then waves.
Sounds like a lot, not really but she does it.
Took her about a week to learn.

Notice how she holds my finger whilst eating.


I love my baby

Yogurt is good for them in moderation. Rosie loves it also but she does not do those tricks. Please tell me Ant. how do you teach the high 5?

Mishka is adorable and you certainly have a way with her. I haven't tried yoghurt with mine either but they both adore cheese but I only give it in moderation, Beau had bad breath yesterday after he had some LOL

Glad you enjoyed it
The inspiration comes from Mishka, her willingness to learn

Mishka dislikes cheese with a passion :30:

She only has a small amount of yoghurt as seen in the video per day.
Once she gets it correct, we do it only once a day, with the treat, in order for her not to forget it.

Took her about an hour to learn to high five, it's simple
When seated on her perch, I tapped on one of her claws, a few times.
Then with the hand I tapped her, I tapped my other hand, saying high five. I repeated this for a few minutes.
Eventually when tapping her claw, I held my hand up wards and said high five, and she started responding.

Ps... Remember to high five very very gently, basically just putting your hand up, letting the bird touch your hand.

My girls don't seem to like yogurt..They taste it and thats about it.
I'm going to try to teach the high 5..Thats a cool 1.

Awwww man, I LOVE hard and fast high fives But that wouldn't be good, seeing that my bird will go flying across the room without the help of her wings. LOL!!

Never say never, if there's a world there's a way

Mishka is already starting to pull the truck, a very short distance. Got it on video yesterday BUT it's soooooo short.
