Today I tried to do some more clicker recognition training, but it didn't go over so well. In fact I would say it was a flop of a training day. Marvin did not show any interest in the fresh millet I bought him for training, I think a large factor for today was that I had just changed out his food bowl and was probably not very hungry. So I will try again tomorrow morning and hope for better results.
Some good news is that Marvin is taking to his new environment well. He enjoys flying around the living room and being on his wall mounted play stand. How ever he still seems to prefer being in his cage even with the door open and having free access to the bird room and climbing net; This may be something that will either take a very long time for him to over come or he may just never change on that. Marvin is also taking to his diet changes nicely. I have switched him to a better variety of seed mix, a lot less millet in this mixture. Having less millet in his seed bowl will hopefully want him to perform for it as a reward when training. We have not had a lot of luck with him taking to fresh fruits and veggies, but that may be one of the hardest challenges of this project.
