Taima and Tillikum swimming around, looking bored out of their massive skulls. Tillikum is the one with the drooping tail and dorsal fins.
If you love orcas, avoid eating salmon from salmon farms. Read "Listening to Whales" or check this link for information:

Bibi the america budgie at about 9 months old. This is a sample training session. The behavior is not yet on cue as I am currently shapeing for more energectic spins. The conditioned stimulus is a tounge cluck. Parakeets seem highly food motovated and thus easy to train.

Nuveena, my boyfriend's cat, has learned how to play fetch. She is about 3 or 4 years old and full of energy. Some aspects of teaching her to play this game included teaching her not to claw us when we took away her "prey"

Parrot Training: toys in a cup Parrot Training: toys in a cup
Posted by: Ichijojichan

Video duration: 94 seconds

Starring Euclid. This behavior can be shaped into a variety of tricks. Notice, when I change the criteria slightly, putting the cup on the table instead of holding it over the edge, Euclid hesitates. For many animals, a change in stimulus elicits a change in behavior. Euclid correctly guesses that I want him to continue putting toys in the cup, and has no further problems.

I taught my ferret to roll over on command. She is far more interested in exploring and playing than she is in food rewards or praise, thus she is more time consuming to train than other animals, such as goldfish.

Staring Euclid. At this point, Euclid knows how to do the "drop toys in a cup" trick. Now, he has a toy, but how to get it in this strange new cup? Most of the top is blocked. He learns to align the toy with its proper hole. Notice, when he finally gets it right, he "acts mad" after getting only a crumb, and not a seed, as a reward.

My Quaker parrot, or Monk parakeet, shows off his "go through the hoop" trick. His got the limited hold down to a couple of seconds now. He gets a seed for a reward. Normally he eats pellets, fruits, veggies pasta and other foods. Seeds are a special treat.

Starring Euclid. This is when Euclid was learning to go through a hoop. First, I let him touch the hoop and just check it out so as not to be nervous about it. Then I praise him for interacting with the hoop. When he sticks his head through, he gets not only praise, but a treat. Soon, he goes all the way through the hoop several times in a row.
