I'm glad you came across everything you did and it was able to help you so much! I would love to see a video of Matty if you get around to it :D! We have a new blogger on this blog named Michael and he actually bought a rose breasted cockatoo because he loved Bandit so much online, so he is going to be posting about his successes with the course and things and he recently taught Mumbo (his bird) to wave just like I had to teach Bandit. It was super cute. I love hearing success stories so thank you for sharing! Hi Jennifer! I’m glad you came across everything you did and it was able to help you so much!

From that point I was able to watch and then follow up on all of your blogs (recent and old) on JamiesParrothelp.wordpress.com. I have to say that you have made my training sessions with my new cockatiel "Matilda", or Matty for short, very easy. I only had her for about a week now and I have gotten her to step up after a day. She came from a very hectic environment so I knew it was going to take some time to gain her trust, but I didnt know where to start. I do use the clicker and I find myself carrying around treats for her (to reward any behavior that she may naturally do that I want to encourage) just like you suggested. I would eventually like to teach her how to say her "Matty" or "Love You" just like your one bird. (Sorry I forgot his name. I want to say Bandit?) Thank You so very much and I look forward to hearing what you have to say in the future blogs.
