This is the part where I stand back and the bird takes the lead. He starts insisting on interaction, offering behaviours, trying new things, and actively pulling me into engagement because the motivation has been built in over time.

It starts simple: behaviour gets reward. But with repetition and consistency it turns into something much more interesting. He’s learned that experimenting, guessing, and staying engaged with me reliably leads to good outcomes, so now he’s fully invested in the process.

So instead of just responding, he’s initiating. He’s offering behaviours, repeating what works, and pushing for interaction like it’s a game he wants to keep playing. That’s shaping and operant conditioning showing up in real time, where the reinforcement history has made the whole interaction reinforcing in itself.

What’s really noticeable is how quickly that engagement has developed, and how strongly he now seeks it out. He’s not just learning behaviours, he’s actively seeking the training moment itself, which means I can start asking more of him as long as he actually wants the interaction.
