Turn, and leave the camera alone

[camo]

A while ago I was teaching Pebbles and Gizmo to turn (it's a trick, but I also think it is good to be able to have them turn around should I or a vet need them to in the future).

I can't find the original post, but I don't think I ever showed them doing completed turns with just a verbal command.

Interestingly Pebbles is more food orientated, but she tends to take her time doing her turns sometimes (it's a bit of a sign of her stubbornness, which I love about her)

Here is Pebbles

And Gizmo

He does a bit of a scratch in between (he is moulting at the moment, so it's understandable)

Now you may wonder why the different camera angle. Well, Gizmo has a fascination with the phone, so it's often hard to film him. This video gives you an idea of what I have to deal with (eclectus parrots and their personalities )

I am absolutely amazed and dumbfounded...

Sweet! Thanks for the updated vids, Cameron! Great job getting them to turn on verbal command alone! And the video of Gizmo vs your cell phone is an instant classic! Hahahaha!
