Why Isn't Lefty Stepping Up For Capri Anymore?! | Quaker Parrot Training

Having multiple people work with Lefty really started to mess with the dynamic between Capri and Lefty. Where Lefty would normally come to her without hesitation at any time, he was hesitating, backing away or not wanting as much interaction. Although Capri found pride in showing him off to people, and was proud of how nice he was going to people... (for the most part!) she also took it as a hit to her own relationship with him and starting not liking him being so easily social. I think it made her feel "less chosen" and less special to him. There was a day she went to spend with my parents at their house, and Charlie and I were able to work alone with Lefty which helped Charlie a lot (Capri's cousin) and Lefty (when it comes to acceptance of the learning curve of others) but when Charlie answered the door holding Lefty, it REALLY hurt Capri to know someone else was hanging out with "her" bird. (She does understand Lefty is not hers but she has been the main person in his life thus far with us.) Sooooo... it was back to the basics! A training session with the two of them to get them back on track! Training helps you spot when the balance is off, and helps you get it back and maintain that. Keep in mind training is fluid, you need to learn to adjust and adapt as it comes. 🥰To adopt Lefty, click here; https://roniesloveofbirds.com/shop 🥰To support current and future project birds; https://www.patreon.com/birdtricks 📞BOOK A CONSULTATION ▶ https://birdtricksstore.com/pages/consultations 🌿ALL NATURAL PARROT TOYS ▶ https://birdtricksstore.com/collections/premium-parrot-toys 🌱WHAT TO FEED A PARROT ▶ https://birdtricksstore.com/collections/health-and-diet 🐦DIY PARROT TRAINING ▶ https://birdtricksstore.com/collections/main-store JOIN ME ⬇ INSTAGRAM 📷 http://www.instagram.com/birdtricksofficial TWITTER 🐦 http://www.twitter.com/birdtricks FACEBOOK 📖 http://www.facebook.com/birdtricks PATREON 📹 http://www.patreon.com/birdtricks AMAZON 🛍 http://www.amazon.com/shop/birdtricks WEBSITE 💻 http://www.birdtricksstore.com PODCAST 🎤 http://parrottrainingpodcast.com/ STITCHER 🎧 https://www.stitcher.com/podcast/parrot-training-podcast?refid=stpr ITUNES 🎵 https://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/parrot-training-podcast/id1458574601 SPOTIFY 🔊 https://open.spotify.com/show/6GRJhNmEEMKBpjLVg0iLeD GOOGLE PLAY ▶ https://play.google.com/music/listen#/ps/Ihw6sumhjcrs3j6bbozy5glrcmu TO SEND MAIL 📬 217 CEDAR STREET #401 SANDPOINT, ID 83864 MY BIRDS (Oldest to Youngest) 🐦❤ BONDI 💗 Galah | hatched 2005 CRESSI 💗 Congo African Grey | hatched 2007 BANDIT 💙 Galah | hatched 2008 JINX 💙 Blue Throat Macaw | hatched 2008 COMET 💙 Yellow-Dominant Camelot Macaw | hatched 2008 TUSA 💙 Blue-Green Dominant Camelot Macaw | hatched 2008 ROCKO 💙 Toco Toucan | hatched 2011 LILY & PHOEBE & DETKA 💗 Sun Conures | hatched 2011 😍 ABOUT US 😍 BirdTricks is a husband-wife team; Dave and Jamieleigh Womach specialize in parrot training and companionship. #quakerparrot #monkparakeet #quakerbird

i love that you two have this working relationship with her so young. She will make an awesome trainer one day.

Those little birds are adorable. Sitting there on that perch together, they make me think of Statler & Waldorf, particularly Touche. I find the back to basics videos like this are really helpful. I'm so new at all this with my little GCC that I get ahead of myself. These videos are such a great reminder to slow it down and get back to basics, which is usually when the thing I'm trying to train finally clicks, for both me and my little Herbie Anne.

I love every video with Capri! She reminds me so much of all the young kids who flock to me when I am out and about with my birds- always so eager to learn and kind to the animals.
