ausage Posted March 7, 2014 Posted March 7, 2014 With our Conures I use sunflower seeds broken into small bits for training treats. What would be good training treats for our CAG? She is 6 months old and just came home to us a few days ago.
Timbersmom Posted March 7, 2014 Posted March 7, 2014 I'd say it depends on what she likes. Their tastes do vary widely. I save Timber's favorite nut/seed type thing (pine nuts in his case) for times when I want to use a reward.
judygram Posted March 7, 2014 Posted March 7, 2014 When you feed her a varied diet you will soon figure out what she likes the most and save that for training purposes, some like a particular type of nut or some other food. For my grey I could use cheddar cheese as she would do most anything for it.
Timbersmom Posted March 7, 2014 Posted March 7, 2014 Yes indeed. I save the cheddar for really important stuff, like getting on the scale or into the pack-o-bird!
Brat Birds Posted March 8, 2014 Posted March 8, 2014 I use little pieces of almond. Both my Sun and Grey love them.
Luvparrots Posted March 8, 2014 Posted March 8, 2014 I use little pieces of almond. Both my Sun and Grey love them. None of my parrots like almonds at all. They are pistachio lovers. I purchase unsalted pistachios for them. They have expensive tastes.
BaileysPapa Posted March 8, 2014 Posted March 8, 2014 Pistachios & pine nuts here, too. Expensive taste indeed! They're worth it!
kins2321@yahoo.com Posted March 9, 2014 Posted March 9, 2014 LOL! They are all spoiled! Sophie likes anything cheese. Nancy
Inara Posted March 9, 2014 Posted March 9, 2014 HRH Inara loves me squealing, "Fantastico!" for things that she already knows how to do, followed by a kiss on the beak. For new things, nearly microscopic bits of cheddar shreds. I swear that she can spot a weensy microdot of cheese from two miles away! It is reserved for training only and winds up amounting to about 2 shreds total, as I know they're not equipped to naturally digest dairy -- but she also, would sell her soul for it.
kins2321@yahoo.com Posted March 10, 2014 Posted March 10, 2014 You also can train without treats, and just use your phrase " fantastico". I give Sophie cheese treats, but honestly,I don't use treats to train her. I just give her praise on any of her accomplishments. She knows when I am pleased, and she gives a certain " squack", when she is proud of herself. I guess I am old school. Nancy
