So. Frustrating. Sometimes.
Added 2024-02-02 17:00:03 +0000 UTCI'm obsessed with my new conditioning aviary but man, sometimes the emotional rollercoaster of trying to accomplish something this big between two birds is just... draining and confusing and frustrating and hard... I know it'll be worth it but I wish I could just explain what I'm up to to Jinx sometimes.

I often hear myself say "Do. Not." -- followed by the same noise of frustration! But I had not stopped to really think, at the point of "Do.Not" I already know what is coming. I am anticipating the what is likely to happen next -- and next time, I need to go back one (or more steps) and interrupt or change the antecedent. Thank you for sharing all of this, Jamie! It is helping me think more like a trainer.

2024-02-03 05:54:37 +0000 UTCThanks for letting us see a window into a tough (emotionally) session. I especially appreciate your download afterwards when you recognized you knew the right thing to do, even voiced it, but you struggled to follow through because of your emotions. You teach us so much in such an authentic way. People think bird people are weird, but there are so many parallels between how we relate to our birds and how people relate to each other. Love love love the aviary! I’m also curious what temp you were working in. “Cold” to me in MN is different than many places. You have jackets so thinking it was pretty chilly.

2024-02-02 18:18:38 +0000 UTCDon't be too hard on yourself; everyone has bad days, even birds. They're only human. All that being said - this is the first we saw of the conditioning aviary. Are you happy with it? It looks awesome.

2024-02-02 17:46:35 +0000 UTCAwesome video Jamie very cool to see the new flight aviary. I understand the distraction working with jazz and my Diego screaming it very much affects her training. I am so much learning that training jazz definitely affects the feelings. Awesome video. Thank you for sharing.
