I have never seen a telescopic target stick like that. Very interesting. I use chop sticks. So many things can happen due to a simple target stick 😊 It's important to target train your birds 🐦 🩵🐦🩷
@TheParrotTeacher hmmm... I wonder what my umbrella Jake would think about the orange ball on the end 🤔 🕊 He's target and clicker trained. I glued my clickers to the end of my chopsticks. Jake would most likely say, "What's that ?" He's a full-on talker with a vocabulary of about 22 to 24 words. He's a mess 😂🤣 A good mess 💙
A clicker is a useful tool however for some parrots it’s not as useful. Its purpose is just to mark a behaviour and give you time to get reinforcement. You can use a clicker for that as it’s precise or you could use your voice and say good in a neutral tone!
The most common solutions to that are change the stick or get them used to the stick first before attempting the target! This can be via through the bars targeting or reinforcing them for just approaching it!
