I've found bathing in general tends to calm all birds down. It's a trick I use for a lot of things, but especially making birds less likely to fight with one another and cause conflict. It's definitely a go-to for me. Do you think it worked today?

PATREON - Video 20 - Part 2 Ava and Zoom Again (Bathing)

Does Ava dislike showers, too?

The bath training videos are really helpful. I’ve been working on this with my two WHITE COCKATOOS (yes, I said it. Not one, but two white cockatoos for this lady) and they respond very similar to Ava. I still can’t get the bathing response, although they tolerate the baths now without any distress. Do you think I stop treating them for bathing and only treat for a fluffy bathing response now that they’re consistent? Or keep treating and waiting for that bathing response to kick in? I’m afraid of losing progress. And I have to say it again, I LOVE Ava! I want to kiss that scissor beak 🥰

I just adore Ava!! Zoom is pretty funny. He seems to fight for attention.

I've never seen her offer a full bathing response before, she just seems to tolerate it as a behavior she knows.

I don't think stopping treating will work, I think it would just cause frustration and backtrack you... remember the rule of thirds? Out of every 3 reps, you have to have at least one success so don't allow 3 failures in a row or often times birds will stop training altogether. A better thing to do would be to change up the bathing environment somehow to see how you can encourage a better response.

Great idea! I think I’ll set up a spa atmosphere and see if they need me to set the mood for them 😊 I’m kidding…well, not completely because I’m going to actually set something calming up. Thank you for the rule of thirds reminder!
