Training treats

[Hannah_Rae]

What are your favorite treats to use when training your grey?

 

I know with dogs, you need to make sure the treat doesn't take too long to eat, otherwise they loose the association. Is the same true with greys?

 

Thanks guys.

You need to find out what your grey likes the best and save that for treats and yes it should be a small something. But a lot of birds love the nutra-berries and maybe a nut of some sort. You will find out shortly after you bring her home what she likes.

At the moment, Organic Lactose Free String Cheese, in very very small manageable cubes. Small enough she doesn't have to use her claw to hold and eats within a second or two.

 

It is the ONLY food that she loves that isn't messy, time consuming, and easy to prepare. She doesn't like Sunflower seeds very much, nor peanuts, etc... And for nuts in particular usually she takes more time then I want her to eating them. Fruit, fresh or dried, she likes, such as raisins but I don't like that she gets all sticky afterward... so the cheese is the only thing thats to both our liking.<br><br>Post edited by: ScubaJ, at: 2008/01/23 21:07

We use sunflower seeds as his treat when we train him. So we have taken then out of his diet and he only gets them when he is being trained.
