I wished my birds could have joined them. THE T-STAND Before starting to trick train, have your training area all set up. Place a T-stand on the training table or use a floor model if you have a larger bird. You could leave your bird free on a table during training sessions, but you will have the most control and his undivided attention if he’s sitting on a T-stand.

Always pair your cue word with the desired answer. ” I will be giving you cues you can use with each trick, but they are only suggestions that have worked for me. You can use whatever cues work for you.
