Beads, maaaan, beads! Fuzzy uses a baby toy to solve a problem. I taught each br of my four pet chickens to do unique things in exchange for a treat. Please br view my other videos. More vids coming soon.br She learned by trial and error that she must slide all of the beads off the br edge for a reward. Watch how she moves her beak on one side or the other of br the beads to try to move them. She also tries to tap at the whole toy with br her beak to try to shake the beads in. She wants to try other things to try br to get them in, but she learns that she must be precise with it. She's not br perfect, but she can learn. The last bead is the most difficult for her to br move. Chickens get distracted sometimes, but they have a surprisingly long br attention span which is why I'm able to teach them so many different complex br tasks. It also helps that they are highly motivated (unlike cats) to do br things for a reward. Since my chickens are so tame, they also seem to have a br little bit of a need to please, like a dog, which is why I am able to br encourage them to continue doing a task even if they start to feel bored or br distracted. This is an important trait in an animal who you expect to work br with on a somewhat mutual level in order to train it.br I think their attention spans are longer than the average house cat (I have a br cat). To get her attention, I use hand gestures and vocal cues which chickens br (my chickens anyway) are very responsive to, like dogs. In some ways, br chickens are similar to dogs, in other ways they aren't like dogs at all. But br I'd say they are much more similar to dogs than they are cats in terms of br their ability to interact with a human on a mutual and highly responsive br level.
