I am target training a nervous Pink Cockatoo inside his cage in preparation for eventually following the target to come out. In this video, I introduce the target stick to this Major Mitchell's Cockatoo for the very first time. Let's watch in action how he discovers the concept and purpose of targeting.

I use a clicker, target stick, and treats. I show the parrot the target stick and when he touches it, I click the clicker, and give him a treat. Targeting is a very useful skill, lots of fun, great exercise, and the basis for more advanced parrot training.
