I am really keen to see the differences between your bird and Ryan's. In my (limited) experience with animals clicker trained from early on, they tend to be very well balanced in life, always knowing there is something they can do to obtain what they want instead of throwing a temper tantrum or shutting down. It's true of all clicker trained animals, but those who knew nothing but that are different usually.

Another thing I noticed with dogs, rats and chicken is that they always tend to revert to the very first few behaviors they learned when they don't know what to do. Training a very calm behavior as "default" has therefore become my routine and I would certainly do it with a hawk as highly-strung as a Coops!

Very nice thread, keep it going please!
