Training win: taught my caique to wave in 4 days!

Started target training last week and it snowballed from there. My caique now waves on command, steps up reliably, and is starting to learn spin. Clicker training is absolutely the way to go. Happy to share my process if anyone's interested!

I went through this exact thing with my caique Lucky! It lasted about over a month and then resolved on its own. Hang in there.

Following up on my earlier comment — I tried what you suggested and it actually worked! My caique is doing so much better. Thank you!

I remember when my caique went through this phase. I was so worried but my vet said it's actually really common.

Okay but counterpoint — what about birds that are the complete opposite? My caique breaks every rule lol.
