So, Poe has becomes an absolute master flyer. He has NO tail (due being a particularly clumsy baby) which makes his ability to break so quickly all the more impressive. I've started recall training and he's loving it.
He's making it the whole way through the house, swooping over chairs and around corners before looping me several times before landing.
At which point he's super elongated and stares at me with an unnerving intensity. A 'click' and some grape is in order.
( Funny thing is, he doesn't recall over small distances like all the training books say. He just ruffles his feathers in contempt when asked to fly anything under 3 meters.)
Point being, he's cottoned on to the whole "Fly to me and get rewarded" principal, thus he's doing it ALL THE TIME!
It's cute, most of the time, but sometimes - like when I'm pouring a drink and suddenly my head is rudely smacked forward by the impact of Poe landing in my hair and whatever I've been pouring goes all over the bench top (as if I wasn't doing enough cleaning already) - it gets old pretty fast.
Any tips how I can train him to stay on his perch?
(He get's it during training that I only click if I've asked him to "come on", but outside training is the problem where no command is given or recall process initiated)
Thanks.
