How to play with your alexandrine

[bickitrainer]

It was raining today and I felt abit sorry for Tweety, our alexandrine. So we took him inside and put him on his stand. He usually does his own business, but I decided to play with him, like what I do to Bicki all the time.

It was a little different, Tweety didn't really know what to do lol. I made a little tunnel for him out of pillows like what I do with Bicki and other games that I normally do with Bicki, but Tweety is different.

So, how do you guys play with your parakeet?

With Takoda he is just happy to sit with us. Either on my shoulder or just on his little tstand between us and he loves to share what ever I am eating. He doesn't like hands.........

I think Tweety would enjoy some foraging excercises like Alissa does with Trouble:

Oh yes, Tweety knows wave, fetch and the basics, he's fine without knowing the rest.

But it's amazing what they can do from all the videos!!! o_0

I want to do something else than teaching tricks to a bird for once... he doesn't like hands either. :/ I guess sharing food is the best?
