First Progress Report on Kiki’s Basketball Training

Kiki’s back in action again. This time she recently picked up a new sport that I introduced to her, Basketball. She’s definitely doing well and understand the basic game rule and objective – which is to place ball through the ring. Till now she tend to miss a few shots, but I’m already impress with her performance. She still has lots of training to undergo to perfect her skills. With her talent and intelligence, I’m sure she’s able to make it to the PBA tournament (PBA aka Parrots Basketball Association). *Haha* Just Kidding.

Hellooooo – Kiki’s Waving Hello Trick

I wasn’t working on project today, and have a whole day with Kiki. I decided to give me a try on teaching Kiki the waving trick. It sounds to be an easy trick, but I met some obstructions during the training session with Kiki. Days ago and even now, I’m still training Kiki to offer her right leg for the Hand-shaking trick. The progress is good, but with a major problem. Kiki tends to nip my cueing fingers first before performing the hand-shaking trick. I’m trying now to eliminate this negative action in the trick. This worries me alot when I teach Kiki the waving trick.

Kiki’s Ring Tossing Trick

As what I have promise everyone earlier on on my previous posting to share the video posting on Kiki doing her Ring Tossing Trick. I personally think it’s quite a hard trick for Kiki. Throughout her learning path, she did vent her frustration on me. With patience and repeating and summarize the basic steps over and over again. Finally She masters and understands the whole concept within a week. I guess the crucial part is to build and select the right size of prop for them. The Ring is the important part in the game, have to light and small. Have to thank Mum for helping me source for the suitable plastic rings.

Kiki’s Somersault Trick

Lately, Kiki has been very acrobatic and hyperactive, she’s into climbing I guess. I have seen her climbing up to my work desk through the extension cord from the ground. The extension cord acts as a ladder, a bridge to my work desk. I didn’t hesitate to teach her the Somersault Trick after she’s performed so many stunts around the house. It’s a fairly simple trick which Kiki learnt it within a day. I never ever doubt about Kiki’s capabilities in learning new tricks.

Kiki’s Coin Depositing Trick

Here’s the posting about Kiki’s new trick – Coin Depositing Trick. I promised on my earlier post to share about Kiki learning the new trick and also to upload the video clip to YouTube.

I’m indeed surprise that Kiki managed to learn this intermediate trick within a day. I’m really proud of her, she has never disappoint me. She’s attentive and learned everything, the move yesterday – 1st November 2007. The objective of the trick: She has to dump all the 3 coins into the black box. It isn’t difficult for her to master the Coin Depositing Trick, as she learned to perform the Fetching Trick earlier on. Basically I just have to teach her to place the objects into the black box.

Kiki’s Tricks Collection

Over this few months, Kiki had learned quite a number of tricks. I’ve decided to conduct a mini revision test to cover the tricks that she had learned. I got my brother to capture the video of Kiki doing her tricks collection. The collection consists of tricks and commands like:

1. Up / Down Command
2. Turn A Round Command
3. Nod Command (Nodding Head)
4. Fetch Command (Fetching/Retrieving)
5. Wing Command (Wing Flapping)

The test is a major success and Kiki passed my standards with flying colors. She’s definitely done me proud.

Kiki doing the Fetching Trick

I’ve managed to upload another video to YouTube today. Thanks Brother for helping me to capture Kiki doing the Fetching Trick. I have to admit this is one of my favourite trick. Whenever she sees this Yellow Lego Brick on my desk when doing work, she will go over pick the Brick and bring over to my hand. She never fails to do that.

I must admit that Kiki’s favourite toy is gonna be this Yellow Lego brick, and it’s also my favourite toy during my childhood day. It’s definitely lot of childhood memories ,when seeing Kiki plays with it.

The Wing Flapping Trick

Brother’s on leave today, so got him to capture this video when I get Kiki to perform the trick. It is a fairly simple trick that any parrot can master within a day (I taught Kiki this trick on 20th October 2007, and she mastered the trick within half-a day). But again PATIENCE please, don’t push your parrot too hard when teaching the trick.
