Both my female and male budgies can:
fly to my finger, climb up the ladder, fly to the ladder, play fetch with a ball, chase a ball, sing along with me, cd, themselfs, eachother. Also much much more, my mind is having a mental blank so ill add more later on description if i remember xD

Thanks,
Angie.

I had a budgie once, who was the smartest budgie..ever! im not lying, he could say 34 different words within about 13 different phrases. And he wasnt that old. He was only 18 months when he died of some weird hereditory disease. So I can't help but wonder if he was still alive now, like 4 years later, how many words would he ba able to manage now? it was so amazing, but when i tell people now they get that real disbelieving look on their face.

All of us who are in love with our birds love a specific thing our bird does. And, likewise, we're always looking for new tricks to teach our birds. I figured that by posting this question, we could all put the favorite trick our bird does and then how we taught them to do it, and it would give us all new ideas for new tricks…

Katie, our Greenwing has two. We play "Peek-a-Katie" with her, where I'll hide and say "Where's Katie? Where'd Katie go?" And then she'll flap her wings and say "Here I am!" I taught this really quite easily because if I get out of her sight, she flaps like a lunatic, so that part was easy to praise. Then, when I'd show myself I'd go "Here I am!" in a really excited tone of voice. I did this about 15 times, and she had it.

(I just had to retype the last 20 or so words thanks to my cat…LOL)

The second trick Katie does is "Strike a Pose" where I'll say "Strike a Pose!" and she'll put her wings up in a beautiful display. Same concept…

My African Grey is only 7 months old and doesn't really speak yet. I taught her how to identify colors, shapes and sizes. It too was really easy. I always identify everything I give her by color, ie. "want a green grape, or want a red melon?" I have these 2 and 3 inch round plastic disks (coins) of different colors. I hold two different colors up and moving them towards her one at a time I say the color of one then the opposite, ie. "blue, red" I do that three or so times then I say "which one red, or blue?" and she grabs the right coin and drops it into my hand. I do the very same thing with the different size coins, ie "big, little, which one big?" She's mastered those two games, now I need only hold up the two different colors or sizes and say "which one. . .?" and she knows the answer. Last week we started working on shapes. I say, "see the star, yellow star, pretty star, see the green square, that's a nice square, see the square?" then I ask her, "which ones the star?" She's doing great at her shapes as well. I'm really anxious to hear her voice though. Anyone have any Grey's out there? How old before they started to chatter?

You must be talking about AJ the Indian Ringneck. He is pretty cool, isn't he?

Basically, trick training starts with the natural things your bird already does. You start with those. For instance, say you've got a bird that hangs upside down from your finger. Add a hand cue, (other hand pointed like a gun) and a verbal cue (Bang!) and then praise the heck out of your bird when he starts to do the upside down movement on cue. This is what we did with an eclectus that I know. I taught him to "fall over dead". We shoot him with our imaginary gun, then he falls over backward.

If your bird bobs his head, praise it and give it a verbal cue. When he does it say "Yes!" and then "Goodboy Yes!" or if he does it over and over, call it dancing. "Goodboy Dancing! Are you dancing?! Goodboy!"

See where I'm going with this? Take the natural movements that he already does, and add verbal cues to it so that you can ask him to do it on command.

After you get some of those accomplished, then you can add some new ones in. To add the new behaviors, put him in a position where he would have to do what you're expecting. Say you want him to shoot a basketball. Well, to do that, he's got to pick the basketball up. So, put him on the floor and roll the basketball to him. If he picks it up, you're half way to learning the trick. Praise, praise, praise.

Also, I don't give food rewards for trick training. Some people advocate it, but it's my opinion that there may come a day where I need my bird to do what he's told and I won't have that treat in my pocket. So, instead I give him scratches, I clap, I applaud, I scream WOOHOO! and act like a general lunatic. He LOVES that. LOL
