This weekend we have Jamie and Dave Womach from BirdTricks over to run a series of Bird Training Masterclasses in our classroom! They also worked with us on Cheyenne's flight training and I'm so surprised with the results we got by the end of the weekend!

Watch 2 more videos from Cheyenne's training on BirdTricks's channel here!

Emily; "sure, i can train a gator!"
also Emily; "no, this bird is untrainable."
such contrast

The sweaters becoming a permanent wardrobe for Cheyenne warms my heart (and obscures my nudism) just like any cozy sweater should.

I love how she walks when she's on a flat surface. When she's in the air she's so beautiful and majestic but when she's walking around on the floor she looks like she got lost in the supermarket and is trying to find her mom 🤣

Cheyenne choosing Emily over food was too precious! That girl loves her mama!

We had a great time with all 3 of you (and all the wonderful zoo critters, too!) so excited to keep up on the progress you continue to make with Cheyenne in the future and can't wait to see you all in person again sometime!

I love that Cheyenne's preferred reward is attention from Emily.

The part at around 16 minutes where they’re all saying “Cheyenne, go!” Over and over is so funny to me

So happy you were able to get a professional teacher to come in, and they got to teach a class to the locals too!?? ABSOLUTELY LOVED the little class segment - it reminded me that most pet birds are SMALLER than Cheyenne :)

How sweet is it that the bird expert man says Cheyenne really DOES prefer pets over treats, whereas most birds have the opposite, and their owners just WISH they did! That's high praise for your bond, from a real professional who has seen it all!

I love how Cheyenne looks at the camera for a bit like "omg, Ed can hold.. things?"

I cannot emphasize this enough……Cheyenne’s diet is THE most important part of this whole equation. A close second is consistency. I have experience with Bird Tricks and they are the best in the bird world. They are science based and that’s really important. Good luck, stick with it. You both will be better off and more important, Cheyenne will be happier and healthier.

It is wonderful to see how receptive you both are to changing what you've been doing/believing. Many would push back and want to be right but you are willing to learn and make a change! Thank you for being such an amazing example to us all!

I really like how Cheyenne proved his "theory" by keep going while she had the confidence by immediately taking of the next time the asked her to come from the counter. you can really tell she got more confident in her ability to fly/take off already.

lol i can FEEL their daughter's pain cause my mom used to bring me to work (she's a dentist and worked in a clinic and there was slides there) saying it'll be fun and it was pretty fun, but it gets so boring so easily and she got home at like 9 in the evening :')

Birdtricks: Cheyenne, choose a treat!
Cheyenne: I choose... MOM!

4:11 and 10:58

I love that they're like, "your bird is incredibly attached to you" so sweet

“We all just talked really high” 😂😂 and she loved it!!! That scene was the best

I love seeing Cheyenne! It is bittersweet at the moment because my umbrella cockatoo recently passed away on memorial day. Her and I had the same age difference as Emily and Cheyenne.This video did teach me about how to improve flight training with my 18 year old Goffin Cockatoo.
